JavaServer Faces 2.2 feature functions
Learn about JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.2, which supports the JSF 2.2 specification. We can configure WebSphere Application Server traditional v9.0 to use JSF 2.2 for improved developer efficiency and compatibility with modern paradigms.
Following is a list of significant enhancements available in the most current specification. See Java Specification Requests for more descriptions.
- Faces Flows enables developers to logically group JSF views to represent modules of functions. Each module has a well-defined set of entry and exit points. Combining modules creates a flow of functions. An example of a flow of functions is an order checkout process. Read section 7.5 of the specification for more details.
- Resource Library Contracts enable resource libraries to reside in the contracts directory of the web-app root directory, or in the META-INF/contracts entry name in the JAR file. Read section 10.1.3 of the specification for more details.
- JSF 2.2 also introduced the ability for applications to use stateless views. Read section 7.8.1.1.
- JSF 2.2 can handle HTML5 attributes through pass-through elements and pass-through attributes. Read section 10.1.4 for more information.
