Pro JSF and HTML5 shows you how to leverage the full potential of JavaServer Faces (JSF) and HTML5. This book is for Java developers that aspire to build sophisticated, enterprise-grade web experiences with HTML5-enabled JSF. Written by JSF experts and verified by established community figures, this book will serve as your primary resource, helping you build or integrate well-designed HTML5-enabled JSF components into your rich internet applications.§This book provides a solid coverage for foundational and advanced topics of JavaServer Faces (especially JSF 2.2). The first four chapters cover the JSF life cycle, architecture, managed beans and CDI (Context and Dependency Injection), expression language, exception handling, conversion and validation, JSF events (faces events, phase events and system events), and view parameters. Chapter 5 covers the new features of JSF 2.2, such as faces flow, resource library contracts, HTML5 friendly markup, and Ajax file uploading. §Chapter 6, 7 and 8 detail the process of creating HTML5 enabled components in the JSF 2.2 world with a number of interactive examples. Chapter 9 covers the basics of two popular JSF component libraries (PrimeFaces and RichFaces) with two interactive examples. In chapter 10, a basic JSF 2.2 application is developed that utilizes Java EE 7 technologies (CDI, JPA 2.1 and EJB 3.2) in order to facilitate bean management, transaction management and persistence in the JSF application. §Chapter 11 covers JSF advanced topics such application design considerations, unit testing, and Ajax queuing. Chapter 12 covers important topics relating to JSF application security including authentication, authorization and data protection. The chapter shows how to apply container managed security in an example application. Chapter 12 also covers JSF performance considerations to help ensure that your applications run smoothly and responsively. Finally Chapter 13 gathers all of the topics covered in the book and puts it into practice in the form of an advanced application that implements real world use-cases.§If you are a Java developer interested in the world of component-based frameworks, Pro JSF and HTML5 is for you.§
