This beginner's tutorial is meant for Java programmers who want to dive into JavaEE web application programming using the JSF Framework. JavaEE is Oracle's Enterprise computing platform . With JavaEE you are able to develop network and web services, and other large-scale, multi-tiered, scalable, reliable, and secure network applications.
JSF stands for Java Server Faces and it is a user interface (UI) framework for Java web applications. It is designed to significantly ease the burden of writing and maintaining applications that run on a Java application server and render their UIs back to a target client.
In this tutorial, i will show you how to create a simple JavaEE user registration web application that persists(inserts) user details into a database. For starters, I'll use MySQL DBMS and NetBeans IDE.
WHAT YOU NEED
- Download and install Java Development Kit (JDK) from here
- Download and install the latest version of NetBeans
- MySQL DBMS .
- Some Java Programming Experience
Once you've installed the above, you'll realize that NetBeans comes with the latest Glass-fish application server bundled . All of your web applications will be deployed on this server. Luckily, NetBeans does this for you , but as you become more experienced with JavaEE, you will need to know how to configure various application servers like Apache Tomcat, JBOSS e.t.c
Next you'll learn how to create a JavaEE web project
