JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a component-based framework for developing web applications.

Version 2 added features and approaches for better integration with Jakarta Enterprise and support for modern AJAX features.

Version 2.2 offers further improvements and interesting new features. The seminar explains how JSF 2 works and introduces, step by step, the aspects needed to write complex Facelets-based web applications and create custom components (composite components) when required.

JSF 2.2-specific features are explicitly identified, so the course can also serve as an introduction to JSF 2.0 with an outlook on JSF 2.2.

Course objectives

After this course, participants can apply and evaluate design patterns, giving them a powerful tool to make software development more flexible, maintainable and future-ready through higher abstraction.
