Upgrading to JSF 2

Now that JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0 is out, what do you do with that recently completed JSF 1.x application? Like most Java standards, JSF 2.0 strives for backwards compatibility. However, if you want to use new features like simpler UI components, new events, Groovy components, or the built-in Facelets support, you will have to perform some upgrade steps.

In this session, we'll walk through the process of upgrading a JSF 1.x application to JSF 2.0, pointing out areas that may benefit from new features.
