Fundamentals of JavaServer Faces Training Seminar

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is Sun's preferred framework for developing rich user interfaces to web-based applications. In this course, learn the fundamentals of using this framework to create views, add UI components, and validate user input. Learn to write backing-beans that maintain the state of the application and can respond directly to user input. You'll also cover binding components to data and bean properties using JSF's Expression Language (EL), writing action handlers, handling navigation, internationalization, and more!


	Agenda
	1. JSF Intro Overview Understanding JSF Different views of JSF Comparing JSF to standard servlet/ JSP technology Comparing JSF to Apache Struts 2. Controlling JSF Page Navigation JSF flow of control The basic steps in using JSF Static navigation One result mapping Dynamic navigation Multiple result mappings 3. Managed Beans Using beans to represent request parameters Declaring beans in faces-config.xml Outputting bean properties Standard JSF approach JSP 2.0 expression language 4. The JSF Expression Language Motivating use of the expression language Comparing to the JSP 2.0 EL Accessing bean properties Submitting bean properties Expressions in output values Expressions in submission values Expressions for action controllers Accessing collection elements Using implicit objects and operators 5. JSF Properties Files Loading properties files Simple messages Parameterized messages Internationalized messages 6. JSF Event Handling Comparing action controllers to event listeners Action listeners Value change listeners Using JavaScript to submit form Browser incompatibilities Combining action listeners and action controllers in the same GUI element 7. The JSF "h" (HTML) Package Most common usage Shared attributes Implied attributes Elements that can invoke action controllers/listeners Elements that can invoke value change listeners Elements that display lists of items 8. Validating User Input Manual validation Implicit automatic validation Explicit validation MyFaces validators Creating custom validators 9. Accessing Databases with JDBC Overview of JDBC technology JDBC drivers Seven basic steps in using JDBC Using JNDI with JDBC Retrieving data from a ResultSet Using prepared and callable statements Submitting multiple statements as a transaction 10. Using JSF Data Tables Motivation Basic syntax Defining table headings Formatting tables with style sheets Displaying database tables
