Java EE: Servlets and JavaServer Faces

Two of the core components driving Java EE web applications are servlets (Java classes that can listen for and respond to HTTP requests) and JavaServer Faces (JSF), a framework for constructing server-side user interfaces. This course shows how to create basic servlets and Facelets (Faces' view templates) and build simple data-management applications with Java EE. Author Patrick Royal also shares parallel-processing tips that save you time on both ends of servlet transactions, along with tricks for extending servlets and increasing your Java application's cross-compatibility.

Topics include:

• Creating simple Java EE servlets
• Setting up a JavaServer Faces application
• Developing managed beans
• Working with web context
• Handling servlet life-cycle events
• Developing parallel-capable servlets
• Optimizing Java EE code
• Enabling security
• Creating custom components and renderers
