Apache MyFaces Trinidad 1.2: A Practical Guide

David Thomas is a developer and technical project manager of Java-based web applications and has well over 10 years of experience in various web technologies. He began writing applications based on the Common Gateway Interface (CGI), HTML and Javascript, with a short Java Applets interlude. The main occupation with Java began when Java took charge of the server. A series of Java Servlet applications were developed using an early, self-built Model-2 controller architecture. Java Server Pages (JSP) took hold for a rather long time and a couple of major, increasingly complex web applications were developed in combination with Struts. Shortly after Java Server Faces 1.2 (JSF) emerged, began the development of a major JSF web application including the development of a high-level framework based on Apache My Faces Trinidad, Facelets and JBOSS Seam in the area of controlling. This project spawned a couple of sub projects so development continues up to the present day. This is the author's first book which is highly influenced by the accumulated years of his experience in web technology.
