Product Description
JavaServer Faces is a Web application framework -- similar to Jakarta Struts -- that gives application developers access to custom components that facilitate the creation of rich user interfaces. JSF also provides Integrated Development Environment (IDE) vendors with a standard upon which to base their IDEs. In the Core tradition, this new book aims to be THE tutorial and reference for experienced programmers who need to learn this exciting new technology. Although J2EE is still the most popular platform for developing Web applications, Microsoft's .NET has gained market share over the past two years. J2EE is arguably more powerful, but .NET, is generally regarded as easier to use. J2EE currently lacks: a rich component model that makes it easy to develop custom components and an IDE (like Visual Studio) that facilitates Web application development. That's where JSF enters the equation, and this book aims to be the most authoritative treatment of the topic -- a must-have for any serious J2EE programmer.

Not a bad intro at all

I found myself in a situation where I had to come up to speed quickly on JSF. Of the 3 books I found on Amazon (the other two being an O'Reilly book, JavaServer Faces by Hans Bergsten and the other a "Complete Reference" by Chris Schalk) this was the best. The O'Reilly book is wordy. The information is good but like many Java related tomes, more emphasis is on theory rather than practical application. The reference book had an index that is essentially worthless. This book has a lot of information but it's more difficult to find than it should be. You'd pretty much have to read the entire book to get your money's worth. Not what I look for in a reference.
Core Javaserver Faces gets down to business fairly quickly. It gave me the info I needed to fulfill the tasks at hand without being too lengthy. I've had very little Java experience in the past (although I have been a programmer for 20 years) so if I can glean value from this book, I'm sure anyone with programming experience can also.

How to sell Glassfish.

It seems the main focus of these 'authors' is to sell Sun technology as opposed to educating developers. They force on you a technology that should be transparent to the education process. If I wanted to know about glassfish I would have bought a book on it.

Purchase this book to can getting start and become familiar with JSF

I recommend this book cause really you will familiar with JSF and in all technology needed in web application, for me I review some issue with this book such as JDBC and LPAP.
I will give this book 4 stars, the one start losing for this book, cause really don't focus and mention enough the life cycle of JSF, for me I refer to another resource to can understand the JSF life cycle.
Although this book really great. I read some reviewer said the Sun Microsystems don't put their brand-name in product low level of quality, I agree with him. Allthing realsed from Sun Microsystems I believe it.

More a how-to

I'm disappointed in that the book focuses to much on how to accomplish a task without telling much about the architecture, why and how JSF operates behind the scenes. This results in that you don't exactly know what goes on, and thus don't know how to solve other specific problems. This is primary reason why I'm looking for another book about JSF.
The book contains a lot of complete file code. Not necessarily bad, but keep in mind that the book might have less pure written text than you might expect.
What I like about the book it doesn't only cover standard JSF, but also well known third party frameworks, like Apache Tiles, Facelets, JBoss Seam. Although again, it's also on that part more a how-to.
