In this 90 minute session, Ed Burns will clear up the fog that sometimes surrounds people's understanding of this Web Application Development Framework. Ed is well suited to the task, having helped shape the design of JSF from its inception up to the present day. Upon leaving this session, the participant will know what JSF is good for, why it is good for these things, and how to be productive using it.
In this 90 minute session, Ed Burns will clear up the fog that sometimes surrounds people's understanding of this Web Application Development Framework. Ed is well suited to the task, having helped shape the design of JSF from its inception up to the present day. Upon leaving this session, the participant will know what JSF is good for, why it is good for these things, and how to be productive using it. Everyone already knows what a web-application is and when it's appropriate to use them. Therefore, the session skips the small stuff and starts out by building a strong foundation by exploring the four pillars of JSF: the View, Model interaction, the Lifecycle, and the Navigation Model.
This session will prep the attendee for other JSF 2.0 related sessions, giving the attendee exclusive insight into what's coming in JSF 2.0.
This session will prep the attendee for other JSF 2.0 related sessions, giving the attendee exclusive insight into what's coming in JSF 2.0. We will discuss what is happening in the JSF 2.0 standardization process - what will be the new features, where we are at, what we will still do until the new standard is finished.
A broad look at the history of network-aware application user interfaces, analyzes the current state of the art for building such UIs, and explores some attributes of the successful UIs of the future.

In this session, specific examples of how to integrate JSF applications with these server-side Google technologies will be first described in detail and then demonstrated.
With Google's ever-growing list of server-side technologies, JavaServer Faces like other server-side Java technologies can readily take advantage of these new technologies. JSF developers can now enhance their applications with data from popular Google technologies such as: OpenSocial's REST Services, Google Data APIs which provides server-side access to technologies including: Blogger, Google Calendar, Google Spreadsheets and more. Attendees will receive a firm understanding of all the server-side Google Java and REST technologies that can be integrated with JSF and server-side Java in general.
This session presents the approach to conversations and pageflows taken by each of JBoss Seam, Spring Web Flow, and Apache Orchestra frameworks. It addresses the pros and cons of each option with the primary focus being on how well they fit with JSF.
Not to long ago, the web came out of its shell and become social. I'm not talking about social networking sites, but rather communication between individual page views. JBoss Seam, Spring Web Flow, and Apache Orchestra all introduce a conversation context whose purpose is to maintain state that pertains to a use case across a series of pages. Conversations help ween developers off of the HTTP session, being a far more attractive option because their life cycles can be managed independently from one another. They also last on the order of minutes rather than hours, reducing load on the memory footprint on the server. In addition to a long-running context, conversations can be combined with
This talk introduces the Ajax4jsf CDK, demonstrating how to setup a new JSF component project, how to author the component using the CDK descriptors, and how to bundle the component for use in another application. The resource framework in Ajax4jsf is also covered, which simplifies the task of serving JavaScript, CSS, and images necessary to support rich components.
For The pains of developing JSF components are fairly well documented. The extensible design of JSF components results in a plethora of required configuration files and classes which are reminiscent of EJB 2 artifacts (and no more fun to development and maintain). What's worse is that the rendered markup must be written in Java code, a step backwards towards Java servlets. Fortunately, the Ajax4jsf Component Development Kit (CDK) automates the task of creating the UI component and renderer classes from a single, descriptive XML configuration file and an accompanying JSP-style template. The Ajax4jsf CDK, a module of the RichFaces project, is a Maven 2-based development environment that takes
By attending this talk, developers can suppress their anxiety about the coexistence of the two frameworks, open their eyes to the potential that each boasts, and learn how to combine them to create a more powerful tool for their development toolbox.
The Spring Framework and JBoss Seam are both lightweight inversion of control (IoC) and aspect-oriented (AOP) containers that champion the POJO programming model, though with slight variations. Each framework offers a dependency injection (DI) mechanism, ORM integration, declarative transactions, web service clients and endpoints, asynchronous messaging support, and other parallel integrations. The apparent overlap in the goals and features of these two frameworks has bred staunch competition amongst them, causing sparks to fly at times. This situation leaves the developer feeling conflicted as to which framework to employ and master. The choice, however, is not an exclusive one. In the dog
In this session, Emmanuel will introduce the Web Beans programming model step by step and describe how Web Beans integrates with existing Java EE technologies, such as EJB 3.0, JSF, and Servlets, and how it dramatically simplifies the EE programming model.
Web Beans is an elegant new component model for Java that draws upon ideas from JBoss Seam and Google Guice. While many of the features provided by Web Beans (dependency injection, contextual lifecycle, configuration, interception, event notification) are familiar, the innovative use of meta-annotations is uniquely expressive and typesafe.
In this section, we explore how JSF protects against these attacks and move on to explore JSF extensions you can deploy to provide complete protection against the OWASP Top Ten, including forced browsing, information leakage in select boxes, and unauthorized method execution.
The JavaServer Faces (JSF) API is an excellent foundation for building secure Web applications because of its component-oriented nature, carefulness surrounding data validation, and numerous extension points. The leading JSF implementations build on this strength by providing components which offer built-in protection against many of the OWASP Top Ten attacks including form parameter tampering and cross-site scripting. Specifically, we?ll look at centralized approaches to ensuring that every field and form is properly validated, a phase listener and view handler to prevent forced browsing and assist with detection of session hijacking, and a customer converter and component to hide sensitive
Apache MyFaces is a popular open source project from ASF that hosts several JavaServer Faces related subprojects.
These include the core JSF implementation, component suites (Tomahawk, Trinidad, Tobago),Orchestra project for conversations with persistence integration and the portlet-bridge project. This talk covers the MyFaces world and explains how MyFaces solutions can enhance JSF based applications.
Join JSF Expert Group member Jim Cook on an exploration of a sophisticated JSF application which uses spreadsheets and graphs - in a browser - to highlight JSFs abilities, with an eye toward JSF coding patterns, best practices, and JSF's overall ease of development for the enterprise programmer.
JSF is a powerful JEE framework that is bundled with JEE 5. It adds the missing layer to Enterprise applications: a sophisticated View technology which makes creating highly interactive web applications simple. For Model 1 and Struts developers JSF represents an opportunity to leverage their existing code and quickly build applications that make the most of AJAX and reusable JSF components.n spite of this, there is a perception among non-JSF developers that JSF is obscure, difficult and non-performant.
In this session, Keith will demonstrate how developers typically use JSF and Spring together in practice, as well as explore the latest integration enhancements available in Spring 3. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how to use JSF and Spring together to create rich web applications.
Attendees will learn: * How to integrate JSF 2 with Spring 3 * How to use popular JSF libraries such as Trinidad and Rich Faces in a Spring environment * Patterns and practices for getting the most out of Spring in a JSF application * The extended capabilities Spring provides in the areas of Ajax, persistence, security, friendly URLs, validation, navigation, state management, and exception handling; capabilities that enhance the JSF application development experience
Spring's approach to integrating JavaServerFaces technology is novel and innovative; an approach that lets you maximize your investment in Spring while still adhere to standard JSF idioms. In this session, Keith will go "behind the scenes" and explore the framework architecture underpinning Spring's JSF integration. Attendees will gain valuable framework design and architectural insight.
A deep-dive design session into how Spring and JSF integrate, and how the integration has evolved over the years.
Have you ever stopped to think that you need to learn two frameworks to develop a non-trivial, database-backed, web application? Struts and iBatis; JSF and Hibernate; Tapestry and EJB3.0.
Two frameworks. And then you have to learn to use them together. Why do we have to learn two frameworks just to retrieve "Hello World" from a database and show it in a view. Isn't that crazy? Now you can use one framework, and use one component model. One. Isn't that nice?
Facelets is a combination of Tiles and Tapestry, and it's the hottest JSF-related open source project on the planet.
It's popularity is well deserved, and in fact, much of what is in Facelets today will make its way into the JSF 2.0 spec due out in 2008. So not only can you come to this session and see some really cool demos that you can put to use in the real world, but you'll also be learning JSF 2.0 before it's even been defined! How's that for a ROI?
In April 2005, annual growth rates for jobs in JavaServer Faces, Struts, and Ruby on Rails were all at about 0%. Today, Struts' growth rate still hovers around 0%, but JSF and Rails have taken off. At the end of 2007, both JSF and Rails were growing at a rate of between 400-500% annually (according to indeed.com).
JSF has passed the adoption tipping point, and is now the Java-based framework of choice, as is evidenced by its ecosystem. From vendors such as MyEclipse and RedHat to open source projects such as Seam, Facelets, and Ajax4JSF, JSF is where the action is.
Come see why JSF is so popular. In this code- and demo-intensive session, I'll show you the fundamentals of JSF.
This session is taught by a member of the JSF Expert Group for JSF 1.0 and 2.0., and co-author of the best-selling book on JSF: Core JavaServer Faces. David will take you through a whirlwind introduction to JSF including what JSF is, how it was developed, and how you can best take advantage of the technology. Here is a list of topics: Components, managed beans, value expressions, and static navigation i18n, CSS, and actions The Faces Context and Faces messages The JSF Event Model Using JavaScript with JSF This introduction to JSF also contains 5 live-code demos, where David will develop a simple, but robust application during the course of the session.Prerequisite: Some knowledge of Java-based web applications, such as Struts, is a plus, but is not required. If you have a significant experience with JSF, you probably already know most of what's covered in this session.
Ajax4jsf makes it very easy to add Ajax to your JSF applications. Come to this presentation to see how.
The JSF spec has changed little since JSF debuted in 2004. However, the open source community is a frentic cauldron of activity that has produced lots of cool innovations, many of them related to Ajax. In this talk, we'll look at one of the most popular open source Ajax frameworks for JSF, Ajax4jsf. Ajax4jsf gives you a very capable set of low-level Ajax tags (JSP or Facelets), along with their corresponding APIs, that let you easily incorporate Ajax features, most of the time by just using a custom tag or two. Ajax4jsf is an ideal solution if you want to add Ajax functionality to an existing JSF application. In early 2008, the JSF Expert Group has begun to focus it's attention on incorpor
Ajax Push is the key to building collaborative enterprise applications. Attend this session to learn how to add collaboration features to your applications.
This session presents an overview of Ajax Push and its range of uses in multi-user web applications. Several examples of Ajax Push will be demonstrated, including a code walkthrough of a multi-user presentation and chat system to teach how to easily implement sophisticated Ajax features. The combination of JavaServer Faces and the open source ICEfaces framework allows developers and designers to focus on their application and fully apply their current skills. Attendees will take away practical information on JavaServer Faces, Ajax, Ajax Push, and ICEfaces.
This session provides an overview of the mobile web and how to develop for it with the ICEfaces Ajax framework. Learn a variety of JSF application techniques that allow both mobile and desktop users to be targeted simultaneously.
It's time to bring our Ajax applications to mobile devices, but there are a number of challenges, including reduced bandwidth, increased latency, reduced screen size, and browser variations. Attendees will take away an understanding of the mobile web and its convergence with the desktop web, and will learn how to accommodate mobile users in their current JSF applications.
Traditional JSF development has gained a reputation for being overly complex and cumbersome. Spring Faces introduces a host of features that improve the development experience and performance of a JSF + Spring application. Attendees will see a real-time demonstration of how Spring Faces makes the JSF experience more productive and reduces the pain of container re-starts and verbose configuration.
This live coding session will show how to quickly prototype a Spring Faces application and utilize the features of Spring Faces that make using JSF and Spring together a more cohesive experience: High-level DSL for structuring control logic that utilizes EL and Groovy and is both easy to unit test and fully dynamic and refreshable in-container at runtime. Introduction of view and flow scopes that fit more naturally with JSF's stateful model Reduction in external configuration with no need for JSF managed- bean or navigation-rule definitions Easy-to-introduce client-side validation and Ajax Flow-managed persistence contexts that enable true transparent persistence. Simplified integration w
When a portlet form is submitted, all the other portlets on the same portal page are forced to redraw themselves. Learn how ICEfaces Direct-to-DOM rendering provides a cure for this disruptive end-user experience, and how ICEfaces Ajax Push supplies a rich alternative for inter-portlet communication. Demonstrations will be performed within Liferay Portal, a JSR 286 (Portlet 2.0) compliant portlet container.
Portal Technology Overview - Explain the advantages of portal technology - Describe what portlets are and how Liferay is an open source portlet container - Explain the advantages of using a framework like JSF for portlet development - JSR 127 and JSR 168 designed to work together - List of new features in JSR 286 - Describe the new Ajax-related features of the JSR 286 spec and what it means for rich portlets Demo#1: Typical JSF Portlet - Submitting a form causes an HTTP POST and a subsequent redirect that causes the browser to re-render the entire page - Other portlets on the page are forced to re-render themselves ICEfaces Technology Overview - Describe
Seam (which includes JSF) is component based and it does require some degree of mental retraining from the common request/response way of doing web applications. Because of this, developers do fall into misconceptions and anti-patterns regarding component based web frameworks.
This presentation will cover these common traps and pitfalls that Seam developers will encounter. We will cover LazyInitializationExceptions and why they happen, understanding conversations better, understanding bijection, give a thorough understanding with AJAX requests in the Seam environment, and give you well-rounded advice on building your application with Seam
The presentation will cover Seam-included testing utilities as well as other open source utilities like EasyMock, Hudson, and Selenium.
A presentation on how to effectively unit test, integration test, and acceptance test Seam applications so that you can deliver a high-quality applications to your customers.

The creative side of JSF user interface design is underrepresented in many books, technical articles and discussions. This session aims to give some visibility to the design tools and techniques used by creative professionals, and will examine the sometimes surprising gap between what Web designers and Java developers consider intuitive in a JSF context.
Learn how to use Adobe Dreamweaver to take creative control of your JSF presentation layer and create web user interfaces with Facelets, Seam, and Tomahawk. We will explore methods used by professional Web designers to enhance the usability and visual appeal of JSF pages. We will also discuss examples of real world issues encountered by JSF design and development teams, and explore design patterns and strategies that have proven to be effective at bridging the gap between these two disciplines.
The session will introduce RichFaces and demonstrate how next-generation Web applications can be built using JSF and RichFaces without any direct JavaScript coding.
JBoss RichFaces is a JSF component library that makes it simple to build Rich Internet Applications with JSF. RichFaces provides a large number of out-of-the-box components with AJAX support and skinability.
This session will cover three different technologies and delivery platforms for building Rich Internet Applications: JSF/RichFaces, Flex, and JavaFX. The pros and cons of each technology will be discussed.
JSF/RichFaces components allow one to easily and quickly build pure browser-based applications. Although JSF/RichFaces has proven itself at the enterprise level, two other technologies, Flex and JavaFX, are also on the radar for Rich Internet Applications. Flex is a framework for building applications that run inside a lightweight, powerful Flash player virtual machine, which installs as a plug-in into any browser. JavaFX is a new open-source, scripting language that runs inside the new, more lightweight, but still familiar, Java runtime environment. Technical examples will be shown.
This session will demonstrate a simple way to use JSF and Flex components on the same page and application while binding them to the same data model (like JSF managed beans).
JSF and various rich component libraries enable the building of sleek and sophisticated AJAX-based RIA applications. To kick it up a notch, Flex components can be used to create a user experience beyond what the browser allows. Flex applications run inside a Flash player virtual machine plug-in and provide far richer experiences than the browser alone. However, using JSF components and Flex components on the same page is a challenge today without some "plumbing" layer underneath.
Have you ever wanted to work on the industry-leading JSF 1.2 implemntation, but didn't know where to start? Or, have you ever been curious what the implementation looks like behind the scenes?
In this presentation, we'll take a look at the build environment, tools, and processes that Mojarra has in place, giving you just about everything you need to sit down and fix your favorite bug, or, perhaps, cook up the next great enhancement.
One of the improvements coming in JSF 2 is the vast simplification of component development, but JSF 2 is months away, and you want that functionality NOW, so what's an impatient developer to do?
Enter JSFTemplating and JSF Extensions. Using these two libraries, it is possible to use an approach very similar to what JSF 2 will offer, but can be done using JSF 1.2. In this presentation, we'll peek under the hood of Mojarra Scales, a component set that uses this approach, and see what it has to offer.
Just about everyone is familiar with Facelets -- and with good reason -- but did you know there's another major alternative?
JSFTemplating is a ViewHandler implementation that has been around for years -- actually predating Facelets a bit -- that offers some very compelling features, such as pluggable template formats and event handlers. It's even (mostly) Facelets-compatible, giving the user the best of both worlds. If you'd like to take a look at part of the technology that powers, for example, the Admin Console in the GlassFish application server, this presenation is for you!
This session examines the ecosystem of products built on JavaServer Faces.
We start with a discussion of why JSF is significant and explain how it lays the foundation for a range of new products. We then look at the IDE offerings from major industry players, such as Sun, IBM, and Oracle. Next, we examine the products from smaller vendors and open source organizations, such as component suites and additional toolkits and frameworks, examining the specific features and benefits that these products provide. Finally, we look at other potential product opportunities and examine ways to get involved.Prerequisite: Basic familiarity with web application development in Java.
The benefits of using JavaServer Faces UI components to rapidly construct complex, interactive user interfaces have become quite clear over the past couple of years. However, the standard process for developing these UI components is currently quite tedious. Fortunately, there are better solutions available.
This presentation examines techniques for easing the process of developing components with techniques such as annotations, convention over configuration, and templating. We'll examine solutions based on JSP tag files, Facelets, and Apache Shale. In addition, we will discuss how JSF 2 will simplify the process.Prerequisite: Basic understanding of JSF.
With increased emphasis on scripting technologies, the Java platform is evolving to accommodate dynamic languages at all levels. While JavaServer Faces (JSF) provides a powerful UI component model, an adequate IOC framework, navigation, and several other features, it is not obvious how to build JSF applications using dynamic languages. This session examines how to integrate JSF with languages such as Ruby and Groovy.
We will look at how you can leverage Spring's scripting support for JSF managed beans. In addition, we will examine the native Groovy support currently available in Mojarra, the JSF reference implementation, as well as upcoming Groovy integration in MyFaces. Finally, we will discuss the future of scripting in JSF 2.0.Prerequisite: Basic understanding of JSF.
Testing web applications, and in particular, JavaServer Faces applications, sometimes seems like a black art. For JSF, there are a couple of different approaches for unit testing. This session describes the Shale Test Framework and provides examples of how to use it.
Shale Test is a "stub" framework, which means that it provides dummy objects that work outside of a container. In addition to showing examples of using Shale Test, this session examines the future of the library and its benefits and limitations.
JavaServer Faces, the standard Java web development framework, has gained quite a few fans and detractors over the past few years. Regardless of the camp, most agree that the framework can improve. JSF 2.0, currently under development through the Java Community Process, aims to be a dramatic leap forward for the framework.
This session covers enhancements, changes, and new features currently under discussion by the JSF 2.0 expert group. These include improved Ajax support, better UI component interoperability, simpler component development, a Facelets-style template language, automatic re-deployment of application artifacts, and several other goodies.Prerequisite: familiarity with JSF
In this talk, you will get a short introduction to WebBeans - the specification which will glue JSF and EJB3 together.
We will look into the features of WebBeans, how you can configure WebBeans annotation and XML-based, and how the features compare to other popular Dependency Injection frameworks, especially Spring.
This session will provide an overview of the latest developments in the JSR-301 Portlet Bridge. The primary focus will be on the public draft which addresses Portlet 1.0 and JSF 1.2 specification, but will also cover some of the work being done to support the Portlet 2.0 specification.
This will provide an architectural overview of the current JSF Portlet Bridge being developed as part of the Apache MyFaces project as well as some ?gotcha's? that are commonly encountered when developing JSF applications for portlet environments. This session is geared toward those looking to develop portlet applications written in JSF, as well as for render kit developers looking at making their render kits compatible with a portlet environment.
This session will cover advanced topics in JSF Portlet development. It is geared primarily for render kit developers and those involved with advanced application development.
It will cover topics such as AJAX in a portlet environment, alternatives to using filters for JSF Portlet logic, and bridge-optional render kit development. The topics covered will include both concrete examples based on the current public draft, and some theoretical designs which have been discussed by the JSR-301 Expert Group for Portlet 2.0.Prerequisite: JSF Portlet Bridge Overview
This session will present everything you need to get started building a test suite that validates your JSF application from end to end.
In the past, testing your JSF application was considered difficult, if not impossible. However, with the new tools included in JSFUnit, you can create outstanding test coverage that rivals or beats the tests you would write for other frameworks. You can even do test-driven development and continuous integration, which was virtually unheard of in the JSF world before.
This session introduces Ajax application development with ADF Faces RC by example.
The Web 2.0 paradigm has brought a new user experience to Web-based applications. One possible implementation of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) is through Ajax, a technology cocktail that includes JavaScript, DHTML, CSS and the browser XMLHttpRequest object. To bring the Ajax development experience closer to Java EE developer, Oracle has developed a set of more than 100 Ajax enabled JavaServer Faces components; the ADF Faces Rich Client components. Truly, ADF Faces RC is Ajax for everyone and provides developers with an unprecedented declarative development experience that makes RIA development productive. This session introduces Ajax application development with ADF Faces RC by example.
This talk shows the combination of these frameworks, for creating a rich JSF application.
The Apache Trinidad project offers you more than 100 Ajax-buildin components for an Ajax-integration, that is almost for free. It also provides you a client- and server-side Ajax-API, for leveraging 3rd party libraries such as Dojo or Yahoo UI. Facelets lowers the pain, when creating view-templates or custom JSF components. You learn how to build cool Mashups and how to extract them to reusable components. The session also demonstrates an easy way of creating custom JSF components, by using popular 3rd party JavaScript libraries.
The Seam framework is one of the most popular frameworks people use with JSF. As an integration framework, Seam enriches the standard request / response model of a web application, and brings previously hard-to-integrate features into web applications.
In this talk, I will discuss some of those deep integration features supported in Seam. How to start and manage business processes from a web applications How to develop a web app that completely driven by business processes How to integrate business rules and security rules into a web application How to start a cron task for a web application How to run a multi-page transaction I will provide a high level conceptual overview of each topic, and use sample code to show how easy it is to implement those features in Seam in a fraction of code that would take other web frameworks.
In this session, I will discuss common mis-understandings of JSF's mobile web support (e.g., shall you use a different renderkit to generate WAP content?), and present a complete solution to detect the incoming device, and generate the appropriate content to optimize for the device. I will cover popular third-party libraries that are specifically designed to work with iPhone's Safari browser, and how to integrate those libraries into your JSF application.
The Apple iPhone revolutionized the mobile web landscape in the US, generating over 70% of all web traffic from mobile phones as observed by Google. To reach out to affluent iPhone users, many companies, such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, are racing to build iPhone-specific versions of their web sites. For JSF developers, this is great news since most JSF applications are already architected to separate the view from the business logic. Only a small effort is required to bring your site up to date to support the vaulted iPhone user experience. Even though the talk is in the context of iPhone development, the techniques covered in the talk should enable you to develop web applications that
