Learn Java Server Faces (JSF) from scratch

Build your first JSF application part 2 by creating a form with a submit button, validating input, and navigating to a home page using annotation-based managed beans.

Wire a managed bean with the value attribute and expression language to update a username in request scope; explore web.xml deployment descriptor and development mode for verbose stack traces.

Learn how to include external resources in a JSF app by organizing CSS, JavaScript, and images under a resources folder, and linking them with outputStyleSheet and outputScript tags.

Learn how to create reusable templates in JavaServer Faces (JSF) using the facelifts library, with insert and composition tags to override content, manage resources, and save development time.

Set explicit request headers to define the content type JSF outputs, ensuring browsers interpret the html produced by JSF correctly and improving search engine optimization.

Explore java beans and managed beans in JSF, highlighting serializable objects with private properties, getters/setters, and session-scoped annotation.

Learn how to define a managed bean with a private user property, instantiate it via post construct to avoid null pointers, and navigate to a welcome page using JSF.

Learn how to replace classic JSF managed beans with CDI in a Weld-based environment, using the named notation, CDI scopes, and session scope.

Explore JSF scopes and dependency injection, comparing CDI and JSF managed beans, and learn how session, request, view, flow, and application scopes shape bean lifecycles.

Access external managed beans easily by using faces context to evaluate expressions and retrieve beans from the application scope, with demonstrations of view and request scopes and binding properties.

Explore implicit and rule-based navigation in JavaServer Faces, including configuring navigation rules in faces-config, using from view id, from action, and from outcome, and choosing redirect or forward.

Learn to manage JSF exceptions by creating a custom exception handler and factory, registering them in faces config, and redirecting users to a friendly error page.

Learn how JSF handles data conversions with implicit, explicit, and custom converters, including building a location converter with formatting, validation, and error messaging.

Explore how to implement input validations in JSF from scratch, using built-in validators and custom validators. Learn how to customize messages and enable global localization with properties.

Learn how to prioritize validations in JSF using the immediate attribute on inputs and commands, skip validations for cancel actions, and use action listeners to influence navigation and rendering.

Learn to implement a phase listener in JSF to validate a user after restore view, manage the HTTP session, and redirect between login and welcome pages.

Create a global input validator in JSF by implementing a system event listener that applies validation and styling to input fields, including text and password, via input events.

Explore how view parameters in JSF 2.0 enable bookmarkable, addressable pages by passing URL parameters to managed beans, binding them via the core library, and supporting validation and conversion.

Learn how to use the JSF 2.2 resource library contract to apply multiple templates, package them as jars, and dynamically switch contracts with a managed bean.

The lecture introduces the view action tag in JSF 2.2, showing how to run actions and load data before rendering using view parameters to navigate to a profile page.

Explore uploading images in a JSF 2.2 app using multipart form data, input file, and the Part object; learn to store uploads via an application-scoped database bean and image entity.

Learn how JSF handles web requests with a custom image servlet, using deployment descriptors or annotations, and implement doGet and doPost to fetch and render images.

learn how ajax in jsf performs synchronous server requests and updates specific components using render ids, with delay and execute controls demonstrated in the file upload example.

Learn how to implement localization in JSF by using locale-based properties files and an application resource bundle, detect browser language from headers, and switch locales through a managed bean.
