JSF (JavaServer Faces)
As web-based applications grow in complexity, there is a need for a good application framework. Without such a framework, the maintenance of such an application becomes difficult, time-consuming and error-prone. In the last years, several frameworks have been created for web-based Java applications. JSF is a component-based view framework which has been included in the Java EE standard.
In this course the participant will get a good insight in the architecture and use of the JSF framework. He will be able to build the view layer of an enterprise application, but also be aware of the integration with other parts of the application.
