AUDIENCE:   Delegates who will benefit from this course should be experienced J2EE developers who want to learn about JavaServer Faces Technology. PREREQUISITES:   Delegates should be experienced Java programmers. A basic understanding of Java web application development is required. Familiarity with JavaServer Pages (JSP) would be beneficial. DURATION:   3 days. Hands on. OBJECTIVES:   The course provides the experienced Java developer with an understanding of JavaServer Faces (JSF) Technology, delegates will learn the fundamentals of JSF, and the key technologies needed to integrate with JSF to achieve enterprise-ready applications. It also discusses best practices associated with building JSF applications. At the end of this course, delegates will be able to: - Utilise component-oriented development techniques. - Work with standard JSF components. - Develop custom components, validators, and converters. - Take advantage of third-party components, IDEs, and open-source projects such as Struts Shale and Facelets. - Put it all together in a JSF application. - Integrate JSF with Struts and existing applications.
