One of the improvements coming in JSF 2 is the vast simplification of component development, but JSF 2 is months away, and you want that functionality NOW, so what's an impatient developer to do?
Enter JSFTemplating and JSF Extensions. Using these two libraries, it is possible to use an approach very similar to what JSF 2 will offer, but can be done using JSF 1.2. In this presentation, we'll peek under the hood of Mojarra Scales, a component set that uses this approach, and see what it has to offer.

Presentation Information
Spring Web Flow is a core module of the Spring Framework that is a strong fit for web applications with demanding page flow requirements. The system lets you capture a logical page flow as a self-contained module that can be reused in different situations in a consistent fashion. The system is ideal for web applications that execute business processes over a series of steps spanning HTTP requests, and those demanding wizards, dynamic flows, and/or flows whose executions need to be audited or annotated. The system exists at a higher-level of abstraction, building on base Model 2 frameworks like Struts and Spring MVC, capturing your application's page flow explicity in a declarative fashion.
In the presentation, we will discuss the following:
- What is Spring Web Flow?
- Why consider using it?
- Architectural Overview, i.e. how does it work?
- How to integrate it into your existing web applications, e.g. Struts or Spring Web MVC.

Synopsis: Ever since JDBC was introduced to the Java community,
providing access to relational databases via SQL and metadata, there has
been a quest to transparently integrate access to these databases in
Java. Hibernate paved the way as an open source answer to this quest.
Later, JPA was introduced officially as a first-class citizen using
annotations. Today, Hibernate remains agile with its use of annotations
and criteria.

Presentation Information
Spring has been one of the most exciting frameworks to emerge in the past few years. With Spring you can decouple your application's objects, enrich them with AOP, and apply transactional boundaries and security to them declaratively. It simplifies data access, remoting, web services, and JMS. It comes with its own web framework. And, even though Spring eliminates much of the need for EJBs, it will still integrate nicely with any EJBs you may have lying around. What's not to love?
Everyone's favorite Java framework continues to improve, with significant enhancements in Spring 2.0 and many more slated for the upcoming Spring 2.1 release. Maybe you've already seen or read about Spring and perhaps you've even developed applications using Spring. But have you seen the latest that Spring has to offer.
In this example-driven presentation, I'll lead a guided tour through the key features of Spring, with an emphasis on what's new in Spring 2.0 and what is to come in Spring 2.1. Whether you're a Spring newbie or a seasoned Spring developer, there'll be something new for nearly everyone.
