The JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology is a server side user interface component framework for building Java technology-based web applications. Included in Java EE 6, the JSF 2.0 standard further simplifies the web application development. This course provides an in-depth introduction to the JSF technology. Students perform the course lab exercises using the NetBeans IDE and the GlassFish Application Server v3. This course supports Sun Certified JSF Developer.
