Hello World in JSF

[Ashish]

Dear all,

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is an upcoming technology and now in its
version
1.2. It has been created by Craig McClanahan, the creator of Struts.

It is a much easier technology compared to Struts and has much wider
component support.

Unfortunately most of the books including Kito Mann's JavaServer Faces
in Action are rather confusing and grossly outdated.

I have been using MyEclipse IDE to create JSF pages and related
objects
and JBoss 4.2.2 Application Server. I have created a Hello World
application using JSF. This application asks the user's name and
outputs Hello with that name.

You can find all the detailed steps with screenshots and source code
at:

Though this tutorial uses MyEclipse, you can achieve the same result
using NetBeans or plain Eclipse with the correct Plug-ins.

Hope this tutorial helps you to get started with JSF.

Best Regards,

Ashish.

I have been using JSF in our project since past 1.5 yrs. We are using netbeans with woodstock JSF components instead of using standard JSF components.

JSF is simply great.
