Scripting JavaServer Faces

With increased emphasis on scripting technologies, the Java platform is evolving to accommodate dynamic languages at all levels. While JavaServer Faces (JSF) provides a powerful UI component model, an adequate IOC framework, navigation, and several other features, it is not obvious how to build JSF applications using dynamic languages. This session examines how to integrate JSF with languages such as Ruby and Groovy.

We will look at how you can leverage Spring's scripting support for JSF managed beans. In addition, we will examine the native Groovy support currently available in Mojarra, the JSF reference implementation, as well as upcoming Groovy integration in MyFaces. Finally, we will discuss the future of scripting in JSF 2.0.
