Summary:  JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a new Java™-based framework that makes it easier to build graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) applications. Similar to the popular Struts framework, but more component oriented, JSF defines a common set of application programmer interfaces (APIs) that represent user interface (UI) components, including state, event handling, input validation, internationalization (i18n), and accessibility. This tutorial series introduces Apache Geronimo developers to JSF and other related technologies.

Summary

You've discovered how to use Eclipse to set up and build Web applications using the MyFaces implementation of the JSF standard. You also developed a simple JSF application and successfully deployed it to a Geronimo server. There's a lot more to MyFaces, however, so poke around in the Resources section and see what interests you.

In Part 2 of this series, you'll add the Apache Tomahawk components to your JSF application and use them to extend the Developer Forum Signup application into uncharted territory.
