Title : JSF Interview Questions
Author : faqs
Date : Fri Feb 13th, 2009

(JSF) is a Java-based Web application framework intended to simplify development of user interfaces for Java EE applications. Unlike request-driven MVC web frameworks, JSF uses a component-based approach. The state of UI components is saved when the client requests a new page and restored when the request is returned. Out of the box, JSF uses JavaServer Pages (JSP) for its display technology, but can also accommodate other technologies (such as XUL).

Date : Sun Dec 14th, 2008

Before JSF was developed, Java web applications were typically developed using non-standard web application frameworks such as Apache Struts, Tapestry, Spring Web MVC, or many others. These frameworks are built on top of the Servlet and JSP standards, and automate a lot of functionality that needs to be manually coded when using these APIs directly.

Title : Accessing Web Services from JSF applications

Date : Sat Nov 10th, 2007

In this technical article, let us see how it is possible to access Web Services from JSF Applications. JSF Application resides in the Web Tier of a typical Enterprise Application, whereas Web Services are External Services that reside in the Application Tier. We make use of Java EE 5 for developing the Sample Application in the final section of this article. It is assumed that readers have sufficient knowledge of JSF and Web Services before continuing this article.

Title : Event Driven Programming with JSF
Author : Raja
Date : Sat Nov 10th, 2007

This article discusses theories and concepts related to JSF Event Model. It details the supporting high level classes and interfaces that are involved in JSF Event Handling Mechanism. The logical categorization of JSF Events is also explained along with code snippets. Then, the tags available in the core JSF Framework are also discussed.

Title : Navigation model in JSF
Author : Raja
Date : Sat Nov 10th, 2007

In this article, let us see the different types of Navigation mechanisms available in JSF. The JSF Navigation Model is both declarative and programmatic, i,e, Navigation can be configured either statically in the deployment time or dynamically during the run-time of a Web Application. We will see how to configure such navigation models in a Web Application with code snippets.

Title : Request Processing Lifecycle phases in JSF
Author : Raja
Date : Sat Nov 10th, 2007

This article will explain the sequence of activities that will take place while processing the Request in a typical Web Application. The various phases like the Restore View Phase, Apply Request Phase, Process Validations Phase, Update Model Phase, Invoke Application Phase and Render Response Phase are covered briefly.

Title : Using Converters in JSF
Author : Raja
Date : Sat Nov 10th, 2007

Java Server Faces provides a component-based event-driven model for User Interface Layer in a Web Application. JSF UI Components behave very similar to Swing Components in which case Events are made to trigger by the User and they are handled by appropriate Listeners. In this article, we will focus on Converters which remains an important aspect in converting the user input to the one that is stored in the Mode.

Title : Integrating Spring and JSF
Author : Raja
Date : Thu Oct 11th, 2007

This article provides an introduction on how Spring and Java Server Faces Technologies can be integrated. It covers the necessary details of both Spring and JSF Technology in the initial section in the context of Integration. Later on it moves towards the concept of Variable Resolvers which help in easing the integration between the two technologies. Then a full-fleged sample application is followed to get a greater feel and understanding of the integration.

Ajax or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML was introduced by Jesse James Garrett in 2005. He is called the “Father of Ajax” .Ajax is a collection of concepts and technologies that allows richer and more interactive user interaction with the web applications. The Ajax engine allows the user’s interaction with the application to happen asynchronously — independent of communication with the server. So the user is never staring at a blank browser window and an hourglass icon, waiting around for the server to do something.
