Polyglot JavaServer Faces
It's no secret that languages other than Java are gaining popularity on the Java Virtual Machine. We often hear about how new languages like Groovy, Ruby, or Scala can speed up development and reduce boilerplate code. What isn't always clear is how to apply these languages to JavaServer Faces applications.
This session looks at different techniques for using other languages with JSF. We'll look at built-in Groovy support in Mojarra, using Groovy as a DSL for JSF with Gracelets, writing JSF applications with Scala, and discuss Spring and Seam support for scripting.
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.

- Helping front-end developers, back-end developers, and architects understand how they can get the most out of JavaServer Faces (JSF), this guide to the new official standard for simplifying Java web development explains what JSF is, how it works, and how it relates to other frameworks and technologies like Struts, Servlets, Portlets, JSP, and JSTL. Also provided is coverage of all the standard components, renderers, converters, and validators, along with advice on how to use them to create solid applications. The building of complete JSF applications is demonstrated with an in-depth case study covering complex user interface layouts, prototyping, and integrating templates with back-end model objects. Also covered are advanced techniques like internationalization, integration with Struts, and extending JSF with custom components, renderers, converters, and validators.
