Abstract

Developers know that JavaServer Faces technology can be used for any sort of web site, including highly dynamic Asynchronous JavaScript technology and XML (AJAX) sites.

We'll break down the mechanics of the JavaServer Faces API and explore different approaches to rich application development as they relate to the framework's strengths and weaknesses.
