WA2001 What's New in JSF 2.0 - JBoss / Eclipse Training and Courseware
|
JavaServer Faces, or JSF 2.0 is a major update to the technology. Since many Java EE developers may already be familiar with the technology, this class allows those developers to focus only on the new features. These features include new JSF annotations, new managed bean scopes, integration with CDI (Contexts and Dependency Injection), JSF GET requests, JSF AJAX support, and more. |
|
Although JSF 1.x was a solid web application framework there were some specific things that were difficult to do. Many features of JSF 2.0 were added to address these specific weaknesses and this course will make sure that developers know how to effectively use JSF 2.0 to implement robust Java EE web applications. This class also focuses on how native AJAX support has been built into the JSF 2.0 standard making it very easy to use JSF to enrich web applications with AJAX (JavaScript) functionality without actually doing any JavaScript programming.
Objectives

| |
This class combines lecture with hands-on experience, and open ended discussion that will help the developer quickly understand the new features of JSF 2.0. Upon completion of the course, students will:
- Utilize new JSF 2.0 managed bean scopes to implement specific application behavior with improved performance
- Use the JSF 2.0 support of GET requests to provide request parameters in links and be able to bookmark JSF pages
- Use the JSF 2.0 integration with CDI (Contexts and Dependency Injection) including the CDI support of "conversational" web applications
- Utilize the native AJAX support of JSF 2.0 to easily add AJAX (JavaScript) functionality
- Provide JSF page templates with the standardization of Facelets
- Easily define JSF 2.0 custom components without complex Java programming
- Use the new JSF system event mechanism to easily define ways for components to be notified of specific JSF events without implementing the complex "PhaseListener" interface
