Bruno Aranda, Zubin Wadia, "Facelets Essentials: Guide to JavaServer Faces View Definition Framework"

Apress | ISBN: 1430210494 | May 26, 2008 | 84 Pages | PDF | 1MB

Created in response to the many concerns involving JSP when building JavaServer Faces views, Facelets steps outside of the JSP specification and provides a highly performant, JSF–centric view technology. Facelets top properties, templating, reuse, and ease of development, allows it to help making JSF a technology suitable for large–scale projects. One of the first things a developer using Facelets finds is that it immediately leads to a reduction in UI code.
