Build next generation web applications with JSF and Facelets Building powerful and robust web applications with Apache MyFaces Reduce coding by using a feature-rich JSF components from sub-project of Trinidad and Tomahawk. Frameworks such as Apache MyFaces which hides all the details about how your pages are on the client and at the same time offering a suite of tools and building blocks can save much time, not just when you're building a new trademark applications but also when you're adapting an existing application to meet the needs of users of the new interface. This book will teach you everything you need to know to build an attractive web interface to Apache MyFaces and maintain your code with a pragmatic manner. This includes development of templates and components with Facelets composition, using all sorts of specific components of the Tomahawk and Trinidad and validation sets of components coupled with a MyFaces Extensions Validator. This book uses the approach step-by-step and contains lots of tips based on experience from the library MyFaces in real-world projects. Throughout this book is an example scenario is used to working towards a fully functioning application when the book is finished. Guide step-by-step will help you to build an application that is fully functional and powerful. What you will learn from this book Create an attractive and easy to use templates with Facelets Reassure your code reusability by building components of the composition Develop consistent and useful search pages using Trinidad components Use sophisticated components from libraries Tomahawk, which go far beyond the standard JSF Enhance your web applications with AJAX functionality possible without writing code Create JavaScript own dynamic applications that match corporate style and color scheme of your company using extensive skinning capabilities Trinidad Preventing duplication of validation rules by adding the JPA annotation validation ExtVal Optimize JSF-based applications in terms of performance and size of the page Approach This book is written as a step-by-step, example-driven tutorial designed to work through step by step work on the code sample as you learn. Who is this book written for This book is intended for Java developers who want to develop front-end web applications for companies as they use the Apache MyFaces JSF implementation.
