JavaServer Faces portlets

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a technology that helps you build user interfaces for dynamic Web applications that run on the server. The JavaServer Faces framework manages UI states across server requests and offers a simple model for the development of server-side events that are activated by the client. JSF is consistent and easy to use. JSF is a standard defined by JSR 127.

This chapter presents an overview of the JSF framework and how it works. Analyzing a simple JSF application, we will present the main items that compose a JSF application. We will also talk about the specifics of JSF running in WebSphere Portal and how to migrate JSF applications to WebSphere Portal.

Note: For details about JavaServer Faces technology see IBM WebSphere Studio V5.1.2 JavaServer Faces and Service Data Objects, SG24-6361.
