| JavaServer Faces (JSF) is an application framework that simplifies the
building of web-based user interfaces by combining the Java-based Struts
Framework and Java Swing. 'JavaServer Faces', by Hans Bergsten, was
written to iron out the wrinkles in implementing JSF's crucial new technology.
Bergsten is on the expert committee developing the JSF specification and
is cited in the spec's acknowledgement section for being actively involved
in every detail of the development of the specification.
"'JavaServer Faces' describes in detail how to use JSF by building a real-
world application step by step, solving problems most real applications
need to deal with," explains Bergsten. "I try to mix real-world examples
the reader can use as a base, but also give the reader a deeper
understanding of the technology by describing why things look the way they
do and what's going on behind the scene, instead of just saying 'do this.'"
Topics covered include:
-The JSF environment
-Creating and rendering components
-Validating input
-Handling user-generated events
-Controlling page navigation
-Working with tabular data
-Internationalization
-Integration between JSF and Struts
-Developing custom renderers and custom components
