JSF based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.
Drag and drop UI components to build web application.
(EIS)
Advantages

JSF & Event Driven

<h:form>

<!-- For non graphical browsers -->

<p>Example of <code>commandLink</code></p>

<h:panelGrid id="links" columns="4"
summary="#{bundle.chooseLocale}"
title="#{bundle.chooseLocale}" >

<h:commandLink id="NAmerica" action="storeFront"
actionListener="#{carstore.chooseLocaleFromLink}">



<h:outputText value="#{bundle.english}" />
</h:commandLink>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
Expression Language
<c:if test=“${result.rowCount == 0}”>
Sorry, no products match your criteria
</c:if>
<c:if test=“${result.rowCount != 0}”>
These products were found
<ul>
<c:forEach items=“${result.rows}” var=“row”>
<li>${row.prodName}</li>
</c:forEach>
</ul>
</c:if>
Setup JSF Environment
Java 2 Software Development Kit.
 Enabled web-server Tomcat 5.
 JSF 1.0 implementation(Sun’s
Reference Implementation).

JSF & Database
Standard JDBC
 JSTL
 Hibernate

Conclusion
JSF can provide many useful features
for developing complex GUIs and
handling events.
 MVC for web development.
 Huge industry and vendor support.
