  • Presentation Overview:

    JSF 2.0 is major step forward from JSF 1.2, reminiscent of the evolution between EJB 2.1 and EJB 3. These updates make JSF easier to work with and provide many features that users have been looking for. The specification is going through the final stages of the JCP process and should be approved soon.

    In this presentation we will review several of the updates to the JSF specification, including:

    * Annotations instead of verbose XML
    * Integrated Ajax support
    * New component basics
    * Integrated resource handling
    * Composite components and templating (facelets)
    * and others....

    Where possible I will also discuss how component libraries such as RichFaces will be adapting to take advantage of these updates.
