Facelets Essentials

Facelets is a templating language developed from the ground up with JavaServer Faces in mind. Created in response to the many concerns involving JavaServer Pages (JSP) when building JavaServer Faces (JSF) views, Facelets steps outside of the JSP specification and provides a highly performant, JSF–centric view technology. Facelets' top properties, templating, reuse, and ease of development, allow it to help making JSF a technology suitable for large–scale projects. One of the first things a developer using Facelets finds is that it immediately leads to a reduction in user interface code. Facelets Essentials, the first book on Facelets, introduces you to its importance, architecture, and relationship to JSF and the Apache MyFaces web framework. Learn to create your first application using the power and flexibility Facelets offers. Then, master and apply its basic and advanced features including Unified Expression Language, templating and reuse, custom tag development, and more.

You’ll also get self-paced instructions for building an end-to-end application with many of the technologies described in the book, which will help you understand the design patterns vital to Java EE development. Understand the key components of the Java EE platform, with easy-to-understand explanations and extensive code samples Examine all the new components that have been added to Java EE 7 platform, such as WebSockets, JSON, Batch, and Concurrency Learn about RESTful Web Services, SOAP XML-based messaging protocol, and Java Message Service Explore Enterprise JavaBeans, Contexts and Dependency Injection, and the Java Persistence API Discover how different components were updated from Java EE 6 to Java EE 7

Build mission-critical enterprise applications using Spring Framework and Aspect Oriented Programming About This Book Step into more advanced features of aspect-oriented programming and API components to build enterprise grade systems Build lightning-fast web applications and REST APIs using Spring MVC and its asynchronous processing capabilities with the view technologies of your choice Explore simplified but powerful data access techniques including JPA (Java Persistence Architecture) repositories and NoSQL data access Who This Book Is For If you are a Java developer who is looking to master Enterprise Java Development using Spring Framework, then this book is ideal for you. Prior understanding of core Java programming and a high-level understanding of Spring Framework is recommended. Having sound knowledge of servlet-based web development in Java and basic Database concepts would be an advantage but not a requirement. What You Will Learn Set up and build standalone and web-based projects using Spring Framework with Maven or Gradle Get familiar with JSP Form processing using Spring and Form Tag Library Develop RESTful API applications for XML and JSON data transfers with non-blocking asynchronous capabilities Explore Spring's comprehensive transaction support for declarative Transaction Management and its integration with Spring's data access abstractions Investigate Spring Data access mechanisms with Spring Data Repositories, a simple and consistent data-access abstraction Construct real-time applications using WebSocket with a SockJS fallback option Understand how to secure your Spring Web and standalone applications using Spring Security declaratively and consistently Get to grips with the end-to-end development of an API-based modern SPA using EmberJS at the front end and SpringMVC at the back end In Detail Spring is an open source Java application development framework to build and deploy systems and applications that run on the JVM. It is the industry standard and the most popular framework among Java developers with over two-thirds of developers using it. Spring Essentials makes learning Spring so much quicker and easier with the help of illustrations and practical examples. Starting from the core concepts of features such as inversion of Control Container and BeanFactory, we move on to a detailed look at aspect-oriented programming. We cover the breadth and depth of Spring MVC, the WebSocket technology, Spring Data, and Spring Security with various authentication and authorization mechanisms. Packed with real-world examples, you'll get an insight into utilizing the power of Spring Expression Language in your applications for higher maintainability. You'll also develop full-duplex real-time communication channels using WebSocket and integrate Spring with web technologies such as JSF, Struts 2, and Tapestry. At the tail end, you will build a modern SPA using EmberJS at the front end and a Spring MVC-based API at the back end.By the end of the book, you will be able to develop your own dull-fledged applications with Spring. Style and approach This book is a practical guide based on logical modules of the whole Spring Framework family, with a start-small approach, increasing in complexity as it progresses. Every chapter is an amalgamation of theory and practical examples, with further discussion on additional features and approaches.

Developing Web Applications with Oracle ADF Essentials covers the basics of Oracle ADF and then works through more complex topics such as debugging and logging features and JAAS Security in JDeveloper as the reader gains more skills. This book will follow a tutorial approach, using a practical example, with the content and tasks getting harder throughout."Developing Web Applications with Oracle ADF Essentials" is for you if you want to build modern, user-friendly web applications for all kinds of data gathering, analysis, and presentations. You do not need to know any advanced HTML or JavaScript programming. Business logic can be implemented by adding Java code at well-defined hook points, so you do not need do know advanced object-oriented programming-regular Java programming skills are enough.

This expert-written book covers the open source Apache MyFaces project, which is the most popular implementation of JavaServer Faces, a Web framework put forth by Sun MicroSystems. The text introduces the basics of MyFaces and the JSF Standard and goes beyond fundamentals to provide a thorough understanding of the JSF lifecycle. Readers will learn how to build real-world AJAX components, and how to leverage Oracle ADF Faces components within applications. The book is an ideal reference for professional Java and Web developers looking to develop real world applications as it focuses on practical aspects such as scalability, design, optimization and configurability.

Curious about Facelets, but short on time for trying a new product? This short cut shows you how to start developing web pages quickly with Facelets, the new JavaServer Faces-based templating framework. This short cut begins with an explanation of what Facelets is, how it works, and what it will do for you. Then, it shows you how to install Facelets, and teaches you how to build Facelets templates, how to create UI components without writing a single line of Java code, how to create custom Facelets tags, how to integrate AJAX into a Facelets application, and more. Facelets unleashes the power and versatility of Faces by replacing the default JSP view handler with an xhtml template compiler. This short cut shows how Facelets lessens development time and improves code reusability. Are you ready to build a top-notch JSF user interface with Facelets? Power up your computer and let's go.
