JavaServer Faces, Ajax and Portlets: Developing Apps Without Distress
TS-6877

The newly-rediscovered techniques of remote scripting have caused a lot of discussion over the past year. The snappy Ajax acronym (Asynchronous JavaScript technology and XML), coupled with the ever-increasing need to exploit available resources in an optimal way has promoted this to the extent that everyone wants to add these features to their own applications. Of course, over the past few years, Portlets have become increasingly popular, particularly with its standardization, and JavaServer Faces ( JSF ) technology is already well-known as the Web UI technology of choice in Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) applications. An application utilizing all three of these technologies can provide a very good experience to end-users. However, this is not painless: there are a number of issues that can make creating such an application very difficult and can create a negative experience for your end-users.

The goal of this session is to show how these techniques can be used with JavaServer Faces technology in a Portal environment, so that the resulting application performs well and is as robust as users expect, and does not behave in a confusing and unfriendly manner. To get the best from this session, attendees should be familiar with Web development and be at least aware of JSF, Ajax and Portlets. Afterwards, they should be able to use this knowledge in their own applications, creating applications that avoid the pitfalls and provide a consistent reliable experience to their end-users.
