Developing Web Applications with JavaServer Faces (JSF) using Rational Application Developer (RAD) 7.5  (RV030)

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a standard framework for building Java-based Web Applications. Using JSF, developer take a component-centric view of graphical user interface development similar to traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI) application development where the focus is on layouts, widgets, their inter-relationships, events and event handlers. All the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) back and forth - i.e. requests and responses, translation of HTTP parameters to application-specific data types, validation, invocation of business logic - is handled by the JSF framework. JSF-based web applications run within a web container, such as that provided by the IBM WebSphere Application Server. The framework provides Web application lifecycle management through a controller servlet. It provides a rich user interface component model complete with event handling, component rendering and declarative navigation. And it is extensible too so that you may create and use your own custom components. This course covers the latest JSF specification and uses the latest IBM Rational Application Developer 7.5. You will learn how to build maintainable, extensible, robust and visually appealing web applications. You will also master the JSF component set and will also learn how to create custom components. This is a hands-on course and at least 60% of the time will be devoted to labs. Note: This course is owned and delivered by an IBM Education Business Partner.
