Summary:  The latest release of IBM WebSphere Studio and the Portal Toolkit plug-in provide new features for developing front-end applications using JavaServer Faces. These features enable developers to quickly and easily use visual rapid-application development tools and provide a rich set of interesting user interface components not easily created or maintained in the past. This tutorial demonstrates how a framework as flexible as JavaServer Faces and the tools provided by both WebSphere Studio and the Portal Toolkit make short order of integrating, testing and maintaining a portal-based front end.

Summary

There are many areas that you can take your application beyond what you experienced in today's exercise. What you did accomplish, however, was to see the basic structure of the JavaServer Faces solution included in WebSphere Studio.

By approaching application development with JSF as a truly front-end slice of your full application, your UI developers have an easy time generating a rich and useful user experience while relieving your back-end developers from concerns of how a user interacts with the core components.

And finally, of course, adding an embedded testing environment makes debugging, experimenting, and testing a much smoother process for all involved.
