Presentations by Kito Mann

Building Enterprise Applications with JavaServer Faces and Spring

For developers who are currently using Spring and JavaServer Faces together, this session explains how to handle common application development concerns such as conversational scope, transaction management, and application partitioning.

JSF 2.0 Preview

JavaServer Faces, the standard Java web development framework, has gained quite a few fans and detractors over the past few years. Regardless of the camp, most agree that the framework can improve. JSF 2.0, currently under development through the Java Community Process, aims to be a dramatic leap forward for the framework.

Introduction to JBoss Seam

JBoss Seam is a popular open-source application framework for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5.0. For web application developers, a significant benefit of Seam is that it greatly enhances JavaServer Faces technology. This session explains key Seam features such as tight integration with EJB3, Hibernate and JPA integration, conversations, RESTful web pages, and so on.

Simplyfing JavaServer Faces Component Development

The benefits of using JavaServer Faces UI components to rapidly construct complex, interactive user interfaces have become quite clear over the past couple of years. However, the standard process for developing these UI components is currently quite tedious. Fortunately, there are better solutions available.

Exploring the JavaServer Faces Ecosystem

This session examines the ecosystem of products built on JavaServer Faces.

Scripting JavaServer Faces

With increased emphasis on scripting technologies, the Java platform is evolving to accommodate dynamic languages at all levels. While JavaServer Faces (JSF) provides a powerful UI component model, an adequate IOC framework, navigation, and several other features, it is not obvious how to build JSF applications using dynamic languages. This session examines how to integrate JSF with languages such as Ruby and Groovy.

AJAX and JSF: Natural Synergy

With the emergence of AJAX as a preferred way of building web user interfaces, JavaServer Faces (JSF) has proved itself to be a natural fit for integrating AJAX with Java sever-side logic.






Books by Kito Mann

by Kito Mann

  • JavaServer Faces in Action is an introduction, a tutorial, and a handy reference. With the help of many examples, the book explains what JSF is, how it works, and how it relates to other frameworks and technologies like Struts, Servlets, Portlets, JSP, and JSTL. It provides detailed coverage of standard components, renderers, converters, and validators, and how to use them to create solid applications. This book will help you start building JSF solutions today.
