Striped Bass Fishing: Salt Water Strategies (Salt Water Sportsman)

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is quickly emerging as the leading solution for rapid user interface development in Java-based server-side applications. Now, Core JavaServer™ Faces–the #1 guide to JSF–has been thoroughly updated in this second edition, covering the latest feature enhancements, the powerful Ajax development techniques, and open source innovations that make JSF even more valuable.

Authors David Geary and Cay Horstmann delve into all facets of JSF 1.2 development, offering systematic best practices for building robust applications, minimizing handcoding, and maximizing productivity. Drawing on unsurpassed insider knowledge of the Java platform, they present solutions, hints, tips, and “how-tos” for writing superior JSF 1.2 production code, even if you’re new to JSF, JavaServer Pages™, or servlets.

The second edition’s extensive new coverage includes: JSF 1.2’s improved alignment with the broader Java EE 5 platform; enhancements to the JSF APIs; controlling Web flow with Shale; and using Facelets to replace JSP with XHTML markup. The authors also introduce Ajax development with JSF–from real-time validation and Direct Web Remoting to wrapping Ajax in JSF components and using the popular Ajax4jsf framework.

It's very hard to read

The kindle version is poorly formatted. Many characters are not showing at all. I still wonder, why I bought this.

Good book. Clear explanations.

I bought before the book 'JavaServer Faces 2.0, The Complete Reference' and I was not totally satisfied. I have found better and clearer explanations in this new book (Core JavaServer Faces) about some points I did not like in the first book. Remark: I have not read the chapter about custom components yet (in the 2 books).

Misguided

Author commonly misuses terms, and the thought of programmers regurgitating this is scary.

Annotations != Attributes

Ok, not great.

I was completely new to Java Server Faces before reading this book. It was an OK book, but I think the author could have done a better job explaining the topics. They do a lot of referencing you to forward chapters in the book which I thought was confusing. The examples skipped from really easy trivial stuff, to very difficult hard to fallow examples with nothing in between. I also disliked how the authors spend so much time making everything locale independent. Every example in the book is locale independent which makes it harder to follow. It would have been sufficient to have one chapter or section on the topic, and for the other examples not worry about it. I've since read some other books that discuss java server faces, and found them to be much more helpful.

The book was collecting dust till I stumbled on a project wanting to convert from scriptlets to JSF. So I started to read the book. The material is adequate for a beginner but alot of the examples, author includes their own classes which you cant use in business environment. This is where you see yourself googling for more info on how to do things.

So ita a good intro book into JSF, but not the only source.

Hope this helps.
