Learn and master the new features in the new Eclipse Jakarta Faces (formerly JavaServer Faces or JSF) web framework

Written by two of the driving forces of the Faces project and the co-creators of the OmniFaces library, this definitive guide takes you through real-world examples demonstrating how these new features are used with other APIs in Jakarta EE. You’ll see the new and exciting ways Jakarta Faces applications can communicate between a client and a server, such as using WebSockets, invoking bean methods directly from Ajax, executing client-side JavaScript when Ajax calls complete, and more.

Broaden your knowledge of Faces components and web APIs

Along the way, you’ll learn best practices and gain insights into the internals of Faces and the design decisions behind the Faces API. For example, you’ll discover which artefacts are now CDI injectable, how CDI has changed Faces internally, and some caveats when working with CDI versions of Faces artefacts.

Build an example application from scratch

After reading The Definitive Guide to Jakarta Faces in Jakarta EE 10, you’ll be ready to build your own efficient and secure web applications.

What You Will Learn

• Leverage the new features in Jakarta Faces in Jakarta EE in your existing applications
• Integrate Faces and CDI
• Use the brand new Component Search Expression framework, which enables you to more easily locate components from your template
• Extend the Component Search Expression framework with your own search operators
• Work with the different ways of mapping requests to Faces, make your application use extension-less URLs, and programmatically inspect which resources are present in your application
• Master the best practices for web application development and see which are obsolete

Who This Book Is For

Existing JSF or Java developers who need to create a web UI. No prior knowledge of Faces is required, but the book does skew towards the more experienced developer. Concepts such as dependency injection and MVC are assumed to be known, as is a general knowledge about HTML, HTTP, and other web standards.
