Best Practices

[Aaron Bartell <aa...@gmail.com>]

Just curious if there are any good "JSF Best Practices" books out there. 
I have been developing JSF for about 3 months now and am guessing there 
are many things I could improve upon. For instance, most of my 
applications have been small in size (15 to 30 page sites) so I have 
found it very easy to have one "controller" program that stores all of 
the necessary backing beans and controls program flow.

I have been reading core JavaServer™ Faces

By DAVID GEARY, CAY HORSTMANN and JavaServer Faces By Hans Bergsten, 
<http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/catalog/view/au/138?x-t=book.view> both of 
which are excellent books, but they cover JSF from the perspective of 
somebody just picking up the concept and not the implementation 
practices I was hoping for.

Note that my Java has mostly been in the web service world and not in UI 
design, so I am not a UI programmer by trade.

THanks for any references,

Perhaps you look at:
https://bpcatalog.dev.java.net/nonav/solutions.html

That url I saw at James Holmes' website.
(http://www.jamesholmes.com/JavaServerFaces/)

Haven't looked into the document, but perhaps
it is that what you are looking for...

HTH,
Matthias

I found 'JavaServerFaces in Actions' from Kito Mann (Manning) usefull. 
They show you how to implement a project tracker in JSF.
