Product Description
JavaServer Faces (JSF) is quickly emerging as the leading solution for rapid user interface development in Java-based server-side applications. Now, Core JavaServer? Faces–the #1 guide to JSF–has been thoroughly updated in this second edition, covering the latest feature enhancements, the powerful Ajax development techniques, and open source innovations that make JSF even more valuable. Authors David Geary and Cay Horstmann delve into all facets of JSF 1.2 development, offering systematic best practices for building robust applications, minimizing handcoding, and maximizing productivity. Drawing on unsurpassed insider knowledge of the Java platform, they present solutions, hints, tips, and “how-tos” for writing superior JSF 1.2 production code, even if you’re new to JSF, JavaServer Pages?, or servlets. The second edition’s extensive new coverage includes: JSF 1.2’s improved alignment with the broader Java EE 5 platform; enhancements to the JSF APIs; controlling Web flow with Shale; and using Facelets to replace JSP with XHTML markup. The authors also introduce Ajax development with JSF–from real-time validation and Direct Web Remoting to wrapping Ajax in JSF components and using the popular Ajax4jsf framework. This book will help you - Automate low-level details and eliminate unnecessary complexity in server-side development
- Discover JSF best practices, ranging from effective UI design and style sheets to internationalization
- Use JSF with Tiles to build consistent, reusable user interfaces
- Leverage external services such as databases, LDAP directories, authentication/authorization, and Web services
- Use JBoss Seam to greatly simplify development of database-backed applications
- Implement custom components, converters, and validators
- Master the JSF 1.2 tag libararies, and extend JSF with additional tag libraries

How to sell Glassfish. July 6, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
It seems the main focus of these 'authors' is to sell Sun technology as opposed to educating developers. They force on you a technology that should be transparent to the education process. If I wanted to know about glassfish I would have bought a book on it.
Purchase this book to can getting start and become familiar with JSF July 1, 2008
I recommend this book cause really you will familiar with JSF and in all technology needed in web application, for me I review some issue with this book such as JDBC and LPAP.
I will give this book 4 stars, the one start losing for this book, cause really don't focus and mention enough the life cycle of JSF, for me I refer to another resource to can understand the JSF life cycle.
Although this book really great. I read some reviewer said the Sun Microsystems don't put their brand-name in product low level of quality, I agree with him. Allthing realsed from Sun Microsystems I believe it.
 More a how-to May 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm disappointed in that the book focuses to much on how to accomplish a task without telling much about the architecture, why and how JSF operates behind the scenes. This results in that you don't exactly know what goes on, and thus don't know how to solve other specific problems. This is primary reason why I'm looking for another book about JSF.
The book contains a lot of complete file code. Not necessarily bad, but keep in mind that the book might have less pure written text than you might expect.
What I like about the book it doesn't only cover standard JSF, but also well known third party frameworks, like Apache Tiles, Facelets, JBoss Seam. Although again, it's also on that part more a how-to.
Loads of material April 28, 2008
This book is just loaded with JSF material. Google is still my first choice for answering JSF questions, but when Google can't do it for me, I can usually find what I'm looking for in here.
A good book to have.
