Kito D. Mann's Blog: Community: Java Enterprise Archives

A few months ago at JSFDays '08 in Vienna, Austria, Ed Burns, JSF co-spec lead, asked me to put up a blog that would provide updates on our progress with JavaServer Faces 2.0.

Now that it's July, I figured it was time. The JSF 2.0 Group blog is now up and running, and it's intended to be a resource to help you track our progress with the JSF 2.0 specification. You can expect to see regular posts from me, and possibly other EG members. Check it out, and please give us your comments!

Geronimo and Pluto, believe it or not...

Believe it or not, I managed to write an article about something other than JavaServer Faces. IBM developerWorks has just posted my article "Write and deploy portlets to Apache Geronimo with Apache Pluto". Geronimo is a pretty impressive application server, and you can use it with Pluto (the portlet API reference implementation) if you're willing to do a little tweaking. This article shows how…

New Course: JSF in Action: JavaServer Faces (JSF) with Struts, Shale and Facelets

Posted by kito75 on March 03, 2006 at 01:34 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)

I'm currently working with the good folks over at Skills Matter to develop a course based on my book, JavaServer Faces in Action. I'm pretty excited about this, as it will open up a specific version of my customized courses for use in the UK. In addition to covering the basics of JSF, the four day course will also several JSF products and technologies, such as IDEs, components, and open source projects like Facelets and Shale. It will be based on the case study application used in my book, called ProjectTrack.

You can view the full course outline at the Skills Matter site. I'm currently scheduled to deliver the first public course on the 9th of May, so if you're in the UK, be sure to sign up soon!

JavaOne BOF: Exploring the JavaServer Faces Ecosystem

Posted by kito75 on March 31, 2005 at 11:48 AM | Permalink | Comments (4)

I suppose all of my networking over the past year has payed off, because my session for JavaOne in June, 2005 has been accepted. Last year I wasn't so lucky, so I was pleasantly surprised to get a confirmation e-mail a couple of weeks ago. The session will be a Birds-of-the-Feather (BOF) called "Exploring the JavaServer Faces Ecosystem". It'll be in the WebTier track. Here's the summary:

This session examines the ecosystem that is growing around JavaServer™ Faces (JSF) technology. We start with a discussion of why JSF is significant and explain how it lays the foundation for a range of new products. We then look at the IDE offerings from major industry players, such as Sun, IBM, and Oracle. Next, we examine the products from smaller vendors and open source organizations, such as component suites and alternative runtimes, delving deep into the specific features and benefits that these products provide. Finally, we look at other potential product opportunities and examine ways to get involved.

The session is currently scheduled for Monday, June 27th at 9:30pm. I'm looking forward to drawing from my involvement with the JSF community through my book (JavaServer Faces in Action), the JSF 1.2 and JSP 2.1 expert groups, and my role as editor-in-chief of JSF Central (www.jsfcentral.com). I think we'll be able to have a very productive discussion about where JSF is now, where it can go, and how everyone can get more involved.
