Summary:  Interested in learning how JavaServer Faces and XForms technology can work together in a server-side application? This comprehensive hands-on tutorial by Java enterprise developer Faheem Khan examines how XForms authoring requirements fit into the JSF architecture. The author begins with a solid overview of JSF technology, then identifies the tasks you must perform if you plan to use JSF technology for XForms authoring, and demonstrates the development of a JSF tag library capable of authoring XForms markup. Throughout the tutorial, he guides your learning with a sample application to help you see the concepts put to work in a real-world application. Note: This tutorial is comprehensive and will take a significant time investment to complete.

Wrap-up

Summary

Throughout this tutorial, our goal has been to give an inside-out picture of the JSF framework, to show how to use JSF for XForms applications, and enable you to develop your own JSF components and tag libraries. For this purpose, we developed tag libraries and many sample applications.

We also discussed the XForms authoring requirements in a server-side Java application and listed the tasks you need to perform to develop an XForms application using JSF technology. We discussed how the JSF framework internally works and how the different modules of the JSF application cooperate with each other. Finally, we developed the XForms-JSF tag library and several XForms applications using the JSF framework.
