Java Server Faces (JSF) is a great JAVA
technology in the field of web application development. This tutorial at
RoseIndia is the best place to go through JSF concepts in easy and
sequential way. This tutorial will take you through the basics of JSF
to developing robust JSF web applications. This is the complete guide to
understand JSF, work flow of JSF, benefits of JSF over existing
frameworks. It is natural to think about learning and adopting new
framework while there exists some established and popular frameworks in
present web development landscape. This tutorial contains all you need
to know about this new emerging and robust technology of JAVA.
It is the
best combination of existing frameworks as it has been developed by
taking best features from all and leaving and removing the rest bad. You
can think about this fact that it has been developed by JCP (Java
Community Process) of web application experts from different groups like Jakarta Struts, Oracle, Sun, IBM, ATG etc. They all collectively worked together to take the best from existing technologies and removed problems. So their collective effort brought a new technology named Java Server Faces
(JSF).

Introduction To JSF
Java Server Faces or JSF for short is another new exciting
technology for developing web applications based on Java
technologies. This JSF Introduction section introduces you
with cool JSF technology.
JSF Overview JSF was developed by Java Community Process(JCP).This is a community of web application experts. These experts are from different groups like Jakarta Struts, Oracle, Sun, IBM, ATG etc. They all collectively worked together to take the best from existing technologies and removed problems.
What Is JSF? JSF is new standard framework, developed through Java Community Process (JCP), that makes it easy to build user interfaces for java web applications by assembling reusable components in a page.
JSF Releases The JSF specification was developed under the Java
Community Process (JCP) as JSR 127, which released JSF 1.0 and
1.1, and JSR 252 which released JSF 1.2. The first release of JSF
is JSF 1.0 in 2004. JSF 1.0 supports servlet 2.3 and jsp 1.2.
After JSF 1.0, JSF 1.1 was released. The main purpose of this
release was bug-fixing. There were no specification or HTML
renderkit changes. This version also works with same version of
servlet 2.3 and jsp 1.2 as in the case of JSF 1.0.
JSF Features JSF is a rich featured framework of JAVA technology. JSF
provides a set of standard features that makes it a powerful and
standard among the existing technologies available for the
development of web application based on java technologies.
How JSF Fits For Web Applications? JSF has many advantages over other existing frameworks that makes it a better choice for web application development.
JSF Components Components in JSF are elements like text box , button , table that are used to create UI of JSF Applications. These are objects that manage interaction with a user.
JSF Tags JSF application typically uses JSP pages to represent views. JSF provides useful special tags to enhance these views. Each tag gives rise to an associated component.
JSF Life Cycle Life cycle of a JSF web application starts when user makes a request. On submission of a page various further tasks are performed like validation of data provided in components in the view, data conversion according to types specified on server side .
JSF Architecture JSF was developed integrating MVC design pattern so that applications can be designed well with greater maintainability.

JSF actionListener Tag This tag is used to add a action
listener to the component associated with the enclosing tag. When
user does an event on the component then this action takes
place.
JSF attribute Tag This tag is used to add attribute to the nearest
parent component. This is name/value pair where name takes the
attribute name which will be set to the component and value takes
the value of the attribute.
JSF convertDateTime Tag This tag is useful converting date and time according
to your format.

component associated with the enclosing tag. In this section you will learn
about the selectItem tag.
JSF selectItems Tag This tag is used to add a set of items to
the nearest enclosing parent (select one or select many) component.
JSF subview Tag This tag is used to create the sub-view
of the view. It contains all JSF tags in a page that is
included in another JSP page. It acts as a naming container so
that the components inside it can be made unique.
JSF validateDoubleRange Tag This is one of the standard validators provided by JSF
to check whether the floating point value (or that can be converted
to floating point) entered in the corresponding input component is
within the certain range.

to check whether the local value (a numeric value or any string that can be converted to a long.)
entered in the corresponding input component is within the certain range.
JSF validator Tag This tag is used to add and register the validator
to the nearest parent component. Typically all applications requires
filling some or more information in the page.
JSF valueChangeListener Tag This tag is used to add a value change
listener to the component associated with the enclosing tag. Value
change event is fired when the user changes the input value.
JSF verbatim Tag This tag renders output component (UIOutput)
within the closest component. It takes the content from the body of
this tag.

JSF Facelet Tags. All these Facelet tags are contained in JSF Facelet Tag Library.
Facelet component Tag This tag is used to add a new component into the JSF
component tree as children of UI component instance.
Facelet composition Tag
This is a templating tag and is used for the wrapping
the content that can be included in any other facelet. This tag provides some
useful features.
Facelet debug Tag
This tag is useful in displaying the component tree and
scoped variables. This information will be displayed in a popup window of
browser when we press Ctrl+Shift+(a key).
Facelet decorate
Tag This tag is like composition tag.
Difference between those is that the content outside of the decorate
tag is rendered while it is reverse for composition tag i.e. it is
not rendered when we use composition tag.
Facelet
define Tag This tag is used to define the name of the content.
This named content can be included within a template. This tag is used within
those tags that allows templating like composition and decorate
tags.
Facelet
fragment Tag This tag is used to insert the new UIcomponent
to the component tree and the content outside of the tag is included
to the tree.
Facelet include Tag This tag is used to include the content of
a page. This page name is specified by src attribute of
include tag. The page that has been included should use composition
tag or component tag.
Facelet insert Tag This tag is used to replace the content defined in
another facelet to the template. This tag takes one attribute that is not a
required attribute and is used in conjunction with define tag.
Facelet param Tag This tag is used to set the parameter to
the enclosing component. This tag is helpful in the case of
creating the compound message.
Facelet remove Tag This tag is used to remove content within this
tag from a facelet at compile time. This tag don't have any
attribute. This tag can be used with jsfc attribute which shows
that the particular tag will be removed.
Facelet repeat Tag This tag is used to iterate over the list
of items. The name of list of items is specified by the EL
expression in the value attribute of this tag. This tag contains two
attributes "value" "name".

Example
This is a part of navigation in which one page is
navigated to others. This section gives you something about the JSF Static
navigation which makes the direct navigation between two or more
pages.
JSF Global Navigation
Example
This is a part of navigation in which one page is
navigated to others. This section gives you something about the JSF Global
navigation which makes the direct navigation between two or more
pages.
Custom Converter
Example

converter. When the user inputs value to the component, it is simple
string value. Now you may be in the need of using this value as a
different object like Boolean, Date etc.
Managing Bean Example
This section describes you the use of the managed bean in an JSF
application. In an JSF application, backing beans (managed beans) are used that can
be associated with UI components.
JSF Simple Login
Application
This is the login application in which you will get the complete
login facilities whatever should be in a web based application for
protecting the page or the website accessibility.
JSF Validation In
Login Application
This section gives you the best approach for the login
application. You have learnt about the login application without validating the
application. But in this section you will learn how to validate a form in JSF
using it's tags.
Integrating Login And Registration Application In JSF This tutorial explains integration of login and
registration modules into one application. In this application, if the
user is valid then it enters successfully otherwise the user is asked to
get registered.
Enabling and
Disabling Button In JSF In this tutorial enabling and disabling a
button on different conditions has been explained. A button can be
disabled setting "disabled" attribute of the
commandButton tag to "true".
Retrieve Image in JSF From MySQL Table Using NetBeans IDE
In this application we create a jsp page to display image. In this JSP page
we are using <h:graphicImage> tag to access the servlet, here we are uses
servlet but as u wish u can access a jsp page also.
Developing JSF Application
Using NetBeans IDE
The NetBeans IDE is a flexible arrangement and
quality based, integrated development
environment (IDE) written in the Java programming language.
The NetBeans project
consists of an open source
IDE and an application
platform, which can be used as an applicable framework to generate any type of
application.
RichFaces: Login & Registration Application:
Login and Registration is one of the most required
module of any project. This tutorial explains how to implement login and
registration functionality in your JSF project. The example application in this
tutorial is named "RichLRApplication" which uses RichFaces as
JSF implementation and library of rich featured components.
Apache MyFaces JSF
Implementation JSF provides rich set of components that makes
easy and fast to create GUI for web application. JSF is a specification
that has been implemented by many venders like Apache, Sun, Oracle
etc. Because of several implementations you may not decide which
implementation to use.JSF implementations also provides many components
and many third party component vendors are available to use components
provided by them. Among these many implementations Apache MyFaces
implementation provides a lot of components that are typically needed in
creating web forms. You would not require to create your own component.
Tomahawk is a set of some new and standard components with extended
functionality.
Integrating MyFaces , Spring and Hibernate
Tutorial presented here discusses the steps to configure Hibernate, Spring
and MyFaces to use MySQL Database to build real world User
registration and login application.
RCFaces RCFaces is an abbreviation of Rich Client Faces, which
is certainly a JSF Library and contain a set of components that helps in
creating highly dynamic web application pages.
