Loads of material

This book is just loaded with JSF material. Google is still my first choice for answering JSF questions, but when Google can't do it for me, I can usually find what I'm looking for in here.

A good book to have.

Good JSF reference with some room for improvement

Yes, this book will answer most of beginners' questions about how JSF works. No, after it answers them you'll still be looking for answers why.
Yes, if you need to know *how* to program JSF then book's long examples will benefit you. No, if you want to understand *why* things are done that way then a lot of pages could be skipped.
This book is much closer to being specification than it needs to be, but beginner will get good understanding of JSF foundation topics. So for every 'yes' - it's good, there is almost always 'no' - it was not enough.

More a how-to

I'm disappointed in that the book focuses to much on how to accomplish a task without telling much about the architecture, why and how JSF operates behind the scenes. This results in that you don't exactly know what goes on, and thus don't know how to solve other specific problems. This is primary reason why I'm looking for another book about JSF.

The book contains a lot of complete file code. Not necessarily bad, but keep in mind that the book might have less pure written text than you might expect.

What I like about the book it doesn't only cover standard JSF, but also well known third party frameworks, like Apache Tiles, Facelets, JBoss Seam. Although again, it's also on that part more a how-to.

Purchase this book to can getting start and become familiar with JSF

I recommend this book cause really you will familiar with JSF and in all technology needed in web application, for me I review some issue with this book such as JDBC and LPAP.

I will give this book 4 stars, the one start losing for this book, cause really don't focus and mention enough the life cycle of JSF, for me I refer to another resource to can understand the JSF life cycle.

Although this book really great. I read some reviewer said the Sun Microsystems don't put their brand-name in product low level of quality, I agree with him. Allthing realsed from Sun Microsystems I believe it.

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is quickly emerging as the leading solution for rapid user interface development in Java-based server-side applications. Now, Core JavaServer? Faces?the #1 guide to JSF?has been thoroughly updated in this second edition, covering the latest feature enhancements, the powerful Ajax development techniques, and open source innovations that make JSF even more valuable.

Authors David Geary and Cay Horstmann delve into all facets of JSF 1.2 development, offering systematic best practices for building robust applications, minimizing handcoding, and maximizing productivity. Drawing on unsurpassed insider knowledge of the Java platform, they present solutions, hints, tips, and ?how-tos? for writing superior JSF 1.2 production code, even if you?re new to JSF, JavaServer Pages?, or servlets.

The second edition?s extensive new coverage includes: JSF 1.2?s improved alignment with the broader Java EE 5 platform; enhancements to the JSF APIs; controlling Web flow with Shale; and using Facelets to replace JSP with XHTML markup. The authors also introduce Ajax development with JSF?from real-time validation and Direct Web Remoting to wrapping Ajax in JSF components and using the popular Ajax4jsf framework.
