JSF (JavaServer Faces) (EN/NL/FR)

During this training, we will learn the basics of the JavaServer Faces (JSF) framework. In this three-day ABIS course, we will study the fundamental ingredients of the framework , as well as how it simplifies the development of a web frontend in Java.

As web-based applications can get very complex in structure, 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. JSF is a component-based view framework which has been included in the Java/Jakarta EE standard.

In this course the participant will:

• get a good insight in the architecture and use of the JSF framework
• be able to build the view layer of an enterprise application, but also be aware of the integration with other parts of the application

Intended for

Internet/intranet/extranet application developers who wish to learn a Java based web framework with broad industry support.

Backgroud

A good knowledge of Java Programming is required (see course Java programming).

You can test yourself to see if you have enough background by filling out the online selftest "Java".
