Description

RichFaces is a rich user interface component library and a framework for JSF (JavaServer Faces). RichFaces enables you to easily integrate AJAX capabilities in your web applications and develop visually rich internet applications (RIA). RichFaces includes a large number of very components so that you may rapidly build your web interfaces by assembling these components. RichFaces also has strong support for customizing the look-and-feel via the use of skins. Since RichFaces is built on top of JSF, you also get the full benefit of the JSF framework such as validation, data conversion etc.

With RichFaces, you can immediately add AJAX support to existing JSF applications. The framework is also extensible so that you may create your own custom components. RichFaces provides support for management of resources such as images, JavaScript code, CSS style sheets and other documents. RichFaces also includes an automated testing facility to generate test cases for your components.

In this course, we will teach you how to install the RichFaces development environment and how to design effective, efficient, visually compelling and functionally rich web applications using this framework. We will explore the entire set of components provided by RichFaces and will learn how best to use them. We will also learn how to create custom components. This course is filled with fully worked out examples demonstrating the concepts covered in the lecture material. The exercises reinforce the concepts covered in the class. We also ensure that not only do you master the RichFaces framework, but that you also learn the design patterns and best practices. You walk in as a RichFaces novice and you will walk out a RichFaces expert. This course has been specially designed for professionals looking to build visually rich, AJAX-enabled, Web 2.0 applications using the RichFaces and JSF framework. This course is taught by experts who have been developing web applications for more than a decade and AJAX and JSF applications for the last 5 years. Not only you get the technical knowledge, but you will also learn what works and what does not from folks who are immersed in this framework and will share their practical experience with you. It is an intensely hands-on course. More than 50% of the time will be spent on labs.

This course can be taught using any of the following application servers: Tomcat JBOSS, WebSphere 7, WebSphere CE, WebLogic and GlassFish. For the development environment, you may use Eclipse, Rational Application Developer or NetBeans. Please indicate your choice of the application server and the IDE while registering.
