Chapter 9. JSF front-end scenario
This chapter discusses the design and implementation of the Web-based
front-end part of the ITSOMart application. In particular, the chapter focuses on
the use of JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology. The chapter will use the practical
example of the ITSOMart front-end, to illustrate many of the theoretical concepts
introduced in Chapter 6, “Technology options” on page 101 and Chapter 7,
“Application and system design guidelines” on page 139.
It is expected that you are familiar with the business scenario, a basic structure of
the ITSOMart application, described in Chapter 8, “Business scenario and
design” on page 229.
In addition to reviewing some of the key characteristics of a JSF Web-based
application, we also focus on the use of Rational Software Architect to develop
JSF applications.

available in Rational Application Developer and Rational Web Developer as
