Integrating Spring and JSF
This session provides examples of best-practice usage of JSF as part of a Spring-based application. You'll learn how to tap into Spring-managed services from a JSF presentation layer. You'll see how to use Spring Web Flow seamlessly as a powerful JSF Navigation Handler.
The Java Server Faces (JSF) standard simplifies development of a web application user interface by defining a web UI component model which is tied to a well defined request processing lifecycle. Compared to existing, less capable but "de-facto" standards such as Struts, JSF is still experiencing change and evolving as a JCP specification, at the same time as a number of vendors are building component libraries for the spec.
This session provides examples of best-practice usage of JSF as part of a Spring-based application and shows how Spring and Spring Web Flow leverage JSF's various extension points to integrate JSF-based web UIs to Spring-based web tier and middle tier code, and to address current gaps in the specification.
