Two of the core components driving Java EE web applications are servlets (Java classes that can listen for and respond to HTTP requests) and JavaServer Faces (JSF), a framework for constructing server-side user interfaces. This course shows how to create basic servlets and Facelets (Faces' view templates) and build simple data-management applications with Java EE. Author Patrick Royal also shares parallel-processing tips that save you time on both ends of servlet transactions, along with tricks for extending servlets and increasing your Java application's cross-compatibility.
