WebSphere Studio 5.1.2 JavaServer Faces and Service Data Objects

Redbooks logo

An IBM Redbooks publication

Abstract

This IBM Redbook describes the new JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology for building Web applications and the WebSphere Studio Application Developer tools supporting it. JSF is based on the Java Specification Request (JSR) 127, of which the first release was finalized in March, 2004.

The goal of JSF technology is to provide a complete framework to develop and deploy Web applications easily and rapidly. The framework provides solutions for a variety of tasks found in Web application development, such as user interface design, application navigation and flow, session and object management, validation and error feedback, internationalization, and container portability.

This redbook covers all of the core features of JSF Web development and the tools that are available in WebSphere Studio Application Developer 5.1.2 to design, develop, deploy, and test JSF Web applications.

Service Data Objects (SDO) is a data programming architecture and API for the Java platform that unifies data programming across data source types, provides robust support for common application patterns, and enables applications, tools, and frameworks to more easily query, view, bind, update, and introspect data.
