Course Abstract:
JavaServer Faces (JSF) provides event driven, component �based technology for developing J2EE web applications. This technology greatly simplifies developing web applications. Finally, Java web developers can assemble reusable UI components into rich GUI pages. A standard UI component model will create a rich third party market of reusable GUI components. JSP is to JavaServer Faces as ASP is to ASP.net.
