Java Server Faces 2.2 ( JSF ) with Theory and Practice

Brief Summary

This course dives into the core aspects of Java Server Faces (JSF), focusing on practical skills. You’ll explore features, life cycles, and best practices while building real applications step-by-step, preparing you for Oracle certification and smooth sailing in JSF development.

About This Course

Learn the most important component of Java EE stack.

This course will follow Oracle JSF certification topics and implement the required codes one by one while progressing. Here is the certification topics:

Essentials of JSF2.0

• Identify the features of JSF such as Facelets, BookMarkable View, AJAX support and the benefits they bring in

• Identify the life cycle stages of JSF, flow of request processing, and purpose of FacesContext

• Design XHTML pages using JSF HTML tag library and demonstrate usage of JSF implicit objects

• Develop and associate model components with views using CDI Named beans and identify the advantages of CDI Named beans over Managed Bean

• Manage user and application state using various scopes like flash, conversation, application, request, and session

• Implement internationalization/Localization using resource bundle and Locale class

JSF Navigation Model

• Design JSF pages with static and dynamic implicit navigation

• Configure faces-config XML file to implement navigation rules including conditional and redirection

• Design bookmarkable views

Data Conversion and Validation model

• Implement data conversion model using JSF standard converters

• Create, configure, and use custom converters

• Identify the best suited standard validator and implement it in a given JSF application

• Create, configure, and use custom validators

• Describe the usage of bean validation

Event Handling

• Use CDI Named bean in a JSF application to handle action and valuechange events

• Create and implement listeners to handle events

• Develop JSF application that handle life cycle events

• Implement asynchronous events using AJAX

Data table and Composite Components

• Design a DataTable with header and footer to populate and manipulate data from various components like Array, List, ResultSet, DataModel and describe the differences between dataTable and ui:repeat

• Implement composite components in JSF application and enhance it using AJAX

• Implement templates in a JSF application and describe the differences between ui:composition and ui:decorate

Custom Components

• Identify when and how to use custom components and custom renderers.

• Enhance JSF application using HTML5 components

• Understanding the basics of Java Server Faces

• Applying best practices while writing converters, validators etc

• Preparing for any JSF toolkit such as Primefaces or RichFaces
