What is JSF?
• It is a standard Java Framework for building
Web applications.
• It simplifies development by providing a
component-centric approach to developing
Java Web user interfaces.
• A set of Web-based GUI controls and
associated handlers
• JSF provides many prebuilt HTML-oriented
GUI controls , along with code to handle their
events.
• A device-independent GUI control framework
• JSF can be used to generate graphics in
formats other than HTML, using protocols
other than HTTP.

Why JSF?
1. Standard.
2. Easy to use.
3. MVC for web applications.
4. Support for client device
independence.
6. Huge vendor and industry support.
7. Can work with any presentation
technology including JSP.
8. Extendable Component and
Rendering architecture.
9. UI elements is stateful objects on
the server.

What JSF looks like?
• JSF is a Rapid Application
Development (RAD)
• The technology under the hood :

Why do we need frameworks?
• Why do we need frameworks?
– To help to carry some tedious tasks from the
developer , and make it automatic which make
it easy to scale

Types of Frameworks
• Foundation framework:
– Form processing ,
– Page management.
– Type conversion,
– Error handling,
– Enforcing MVC model,
– Not masking the fundamental request /
response nature of HTTP.
– Example ; Struts
• UI framework:
– Form processing ,
– Page management.
– Type conversion,
– Error handling,
– Enforcing MVC model,

Request Processing Lifecycle
• Types of the request:
1. Initial Request:
– A user requests the page for the first time.
– Lifecycle only executes the restore view and
render response phases.
2. Post back:
– A user submits the form on a page that was
previously loaded into the browser.
– Lifecycle executes all phases.

Lifecycle of JSF Page
• A JSF page is represented by a tree
of UI components, called a view.
• When a client makes a request for
the page, the lifecycle starts.
• During the lifecycle, JSF
implementation must build the
view while considering state saved
from the previous post back.
• When the client performs a post back
of the page, JSF implementation must
perform lifecycle steps mainly :
- conversion - validation

Request Processing Lifecycle
Java Developer And Instructor
[email protected] Java Server Faces (JSF)
• Apply Request Values:
– Update the value of the components
to equal ones sent in the request.
– Events fired: Phase events,
action events, data model events
• Process Validations:
– Asks each component to validate
itself.
– If the validation fails, the lifecycle
advances directly to the Render
Response phase to render the page
with the error messages.
– Events fired: Phase events,

value-changed events,
data model events
Request Processing Lifecycle
• Update Model Values:
– Updates all the values of backing
beans or model objects associated
with components.
– Only input components that have
valueRef expressions will be updated.
– If the conversion fails, the lifecycle
advances directly to render Response
so that the page is re-rendered with
errors displayed.
