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.
