How to Create a Simple Java Server Faces (JSF) Application WAR File for J2EE/JEE5 Deployment

Part II of a three part tutorial, this tutorial demonstrates how to put together a basic JSF war file for deployment to a Tomcat 6 server, although the simple WAR file can be deployed to any Servlet Engine, be it WebSphere, WebLogic, Glassfish, Oracle, etc.

This tutorial demonstrates how to create a proper war structure, do a basic web.xml deployment descriptor configuration for the FacesServlet that implements the FrontController Design Pattern, and it shows a simple faces-config.xml file.

A HelloWorld Java Server Page (JSP), helloworld.jsp, is created that is then invoked through the JSF framework on the Tomcat6 server to ensure the JSF1.2 environment is configured properly.

Is it just me or he just keeps right clicking in windows explorer to create new folders, copy, paste, open in wordpad..... boring

@igor86SRB If you are using jsp only, is like using php only, as well, just scripting.

so you should try looking for information on a specific framework (jsf, spring, struts).

Too much talk, almost nothing informative... What a fail.

Thak you for the video. It was really helpful. Are you planning to post the 3rd part any time soon. ?

I liked that you didn't use an IDE. Keep doing your tutorials this way, because thus we'll really understand how things work.
