Synopsis

This expert-written book covers the open source Apache MyFaces project, which is the most popular implementation of JavaServer Faces, a Web framework put forth by Sun MicroSystems. The text introduces the basics of MyFaces and the JSF Standard and goes beyond fundamentals to provide a thorough understanding of the JSF lifecycle. Readers will learn how to build real-world AJAX components, and how to leverage Oracle ADF Faces components within applications. The book is an ideal reference for professional Java and Web developers looking to develop real world applications as it focuses on practical aspects such as scalability, design, optimization and configurability.
