Facelets Talk
Posted by cagataycivici on December 6, 2006
I gave a talk at a seminar about JSF with Facelets two days ago. At first my aim was just to talk about Facelets but it turned out the audience had not much of JSF experience at all. So I’ve spent quite some time talking about JSF overview first, after that I’ve showed an Ajax4JSF demo when the topic was JSF with Ajax.
Finally I got enough time to talk on Facelets and why JSP-JSF suck:) Personally I see Facelets as the future of JSF, not only it helps JSF to get rid of the burden of JSP but because of features like templating, composition components, EL functions and etc.etc.etc. As a downside I dont care about the IDE support of Facelets but I’d like to see a nice Facelets Logo:) There was a Shale logo competition once, why not for Facelets? Anyway you can find the presentations at;

I agree, Facelets needs a logo… The Shale logo contest seemed to work out very well.

Hmm, one small problem in your facelets presentation - NetBeans has a ‘beta’ module with Facelets support. Actually, the support is really good and very stable - I’ve been using it over the last month with no problems. Search for facelets on the netbeans site for more info.

+1
After using JSP 2.1, I love Facelets even more!

Yes Rick, I agree about JSP 2.1, by the way your Facelets articles are great!

hi, there?
i’ve read your article about using datatable with large data set…
that’s a great idea.
however, i have to think about db overload, as you discussed with another buddy.
you said that you’ve used phaseListener to monitor onPreRender event…
I failed to it.. could you give me a demo?
thanks in advance..

actually, i fuond that if i use phaseListener, i have to define the managed bean as session scoped.
do you have the same situation?
