JSF 2.0 Tutorial

Published: December 12, 2010 , Updated: June 23, 2011 , Author: mkyong

JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0, is a MVC web framework which focus on simplifies building user interfaces (comes with 100+ ready UI tags) for Java web application and make reusable UI component easy to implement. Unlike JSF 1.x, almost everything are declared in faces-config.xml, with JSF 2.0, you are allowed to use annotation to declared navigation, managed bean or CDI bean, which make your development more easier and faster.

In this tutorials, it provides many step by step examples and explanations on using JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0 framework.

Happy learning JSF 2.0 :)

Quick Start

Some quick start examples for JSF 2.0

JSF 2.0 hello world example
A JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0 hello world example, shows the JSF 2.0 dependencies, basic annotations and configurations. Let you have a quick idea about how JSF 2.0 look like, and also how it different from JSF 1.x.
JSF 2.0 + Ajax hello world example
In JSF 2.0, coding Ajax is just like coding a normal HTML tag, it’s extremely easy. In this tutorial, you will restructure the last JSF 2.0 hello world example, so that, when the button is clicked, it will make an Ajax request instead of submitting the whole form.
How to make Eclipse IDE supports JSF 2.0
Here’s a quick guide to show how to enable the JSF 2.0 features in Eclipse project.
Resources (library) in JSF 2.0
In JSF 2.0, all your resources files like css, images or JavaScript, should put into a “resources” folder in the root of your web application. In JSF 2.0 terminology, all the sub-folder name of the “resources” folder is consider as a “library” in JSF 2.0 web application. Later, you can reference this “library” with JSF tag’s library attribute.

Managed Bean

About managed bean configuration and injection in JSF 2.0

Configure Managed Beans in JSF 2.0
In JSF 2.0, Java bean that can be accessed from JSF page is called Managed Bean. The managed bean can be a normal Java bean, which contains the getter and setter methods, business logic or even a backing bean (a bean contains all the HTML form value).
Injecting Managed beans in JSF 2.0
In JSF 2.0, a new @ManagedProperty annotation is used to dependency injection (DI) a managed bean into the property of another managed bean.

Navigation

How navigation works in JSF 2.0

Implicit Navigation in JSF 2.0
Now, JSF 2 come out a new “auto view page resolver” mechanism named “implicit navigation“, where you don’t need to declare the above navigation rule, instead, just put the “view name” in the action attribute and JSF will find the correct “view page” automatically.
Conditional Navigation Rule in JSF 2.0
JSF 2 comes with a very flexible conditional navigation rule to solve the complex page navigation flow.
JSF “form-action” navigation rule example
In JSF navigation rule, you may encounter a situation where two separate actions return a same “outcome” in a page. In this case, you can use “form-action” element to differentiate the two navigation cases.
JSF : Page Forward vs Page Redirect
By default, JSF is perform a server page forward while navigating to another page. See following example to differentiate between the page forward and page redirect.

Resource Bundles

JSF’s message manipulation and internationalization.

JSF 2.0 and Resource Bundles example
In this tutorial, we show you the use of resource bundle to display the messages in the JSF 2.0. For maintainability concern, it’s recommended to put all the messages in properties file, instead of hard-code the message in the page directly.

Hi
I’m desperately looking for help because to my knowledge I’m out of options.. I tried searching forums, google my problems with jsf2 but nothing fits to what I’m facing :)
I found Your blog very, if not the most inspiring during my search for tutorials with jsf2. From this place I’ve learned about configuration specifics necessary to set up development environment, which in my case is eclipse + tomcat 7. I managed to get some of Your code and made a few simple classes just to make myself understand this part of java world better… but here I ran into a problem, which made me stuck in one place.
Here’s what I have:
-Simple class in which arraylist of strings is initialized and filled with some static values.
-Xhtml page, in which I have one column dataTable with a header.
What I want is:
-Make the mentioned class a managed bean, returning an arraylist.
-Have the xhtml page with a dataTable filled with a content of an arraylist from managed bean.
I know it sounds crazy to ask for such basics, but I had to cut down all my previous work to an atomic level, just to see where the problem lies.
I made a class in a package called demo. The code of the class looks like below(it’s a simplified version of one oh Your examples):
```
package demo;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.io.Serializable;
 
import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;
 
@ManagedBean(name="userList")
@ViewScoped
public class UserList implements Serializable {
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	private ArrayList<String> users;
 
	@PostConstruct
	public void create() {
		users = new ArrayList<String>();
		users.add("John");
		users.add("Charley");
		users.add("Priscila");
		users.add("Kate");
		users.add("Emily");
		users.add("Barack");
		users.add("Mia");
		users.add("Arthur");
	}
 
	public ArrayList<String> getUsers() {
		return users;
	}
}
```
and the code of the xhtml file looks like this:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
	xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
	xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
	xmlns:p="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui">
<f:view>
	<h:head>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
		<title>User List 2</title>
	</h:head>
	<body>
		<h:form>
			<h:dataTable value="#{userList.getUsers}" var="user">
				<h:column>
					<f:facet name="header">User</f:facet>
				</h:column>
				<h:column>
					<h:outputText value="#{user}" />
				</h:column>
			</h:dataTable>
		</h:form>
	</body>
</f:view>
</html>
```
The problem is – I don’t get any output from the bean. What I get is just a column name.
To be clear, I stayed away from touching faces-config.xml – this file has no entries besides it’s default content.
My configuratoin seems to be ok and tomcat does not generate any exceptions nor any extra output during page start/refresh.
I have all libs in place eg WebContent/WEB-INF/jstl-api and jstl-impl. Project Facets in project properties is checked and MyFaces are selected to be included in the application.
Can You please help me?

Hi,
I just found the solution for your problem. It took me days to found the solution because there isn’t any documentation :/
You just need to include this in your web.xml:
PrimeFaces FileUpload Filter
org.primefaces.webapp.filter.FileUploadFilter
PrimeFaces FileUpload Filter
Faces Servlet
Enjoy it! :p

I am hoping with your vast knowledge of JSF 2.0, you will be able to help.
I am looking for a link / site where I can find out which all tags can make up a particular tag.
For example, we can include a graphicImage tag in a commandLink tag.
Is there a place where ALL JSF 2.0 tags and what other tags they can contain has been listed?
Thank You,

  ifti :
  “javax.el.ELException: /page1.xhtml @16,8 value=”#{customer.getCustomerList()}”:”
  i think u have to corrct this only
  plz change ‘#{customer.getCoustomerList()}’ to
  “#{customer.coustomerList}” if it is a private member or a public function in a customer bean class.

Man, I would like to thank you for those amazing tutorials. I’ve been searching for this kind of information for a long time, but it doesn’t exists elsewhere, even in Mojarra or MyFaces sites. Most of information is not for newbies, they’re so technical…
Thanks a lot, you have a new friend!
