WA1855 JavaServer Faces (JSF) Web Application Programming using WebLogic Server 11g and Eclipse Training and Courseware (Coming Soon)

This training course introduces the developer to the JSF architecture and provides the basis for planning, developing, and deploying Web based applications using the JSF framework. After taking this class, the developer will be able to quickly construct dynamic server-side web applications using JSF.  Labs are done using Eclipse development tools.

Topics

 
  • Introduction and Overview
  • The JSF Architecture
  • JSF Request Objects
  • JSF User Interface components
  • The EL Expression Language and Advanced User Interface components
  • Event Handling
  • Data Validation
  • Data Conversion
  • Rendering Custom User Interface Objects
  • Facelets
  • Internationalization (i18n)

What you will learn

  After completing this course, the student should be able to:
  • Become familiar with the JSF tags for the commonly used HTML components in a form.
  • Learn how to write event handler methods in a managed bean.
  • Learn how to register the event handler method with a GUI component.
  • Write navigation rule in faces-config.xml.
  • Control the sequence of page display based on certain business logic.
  • Add very besic validation to the intro.jsp page
  • Display objects in an ArrayList in a data table.

Audience
