JavaServer Faces Antipatterns and Best Practices - 1
No matter how good a framework is, it can always be used incorrectly. This holds true for JavaServer Faces (JSF) as well as any other framework.
In this session, we'll look at real-world examples of antipatterns for developing JSF applications. These range from specific issues, like hard-coding component IDs in backing beans and accessing the database in getter methods, to more systemic problems, such as lack of common-sense standards and usage of the wrong APIs. Along the way, we'll discuss best practices that will help ensure that your JSF applications are performant, well-designed, and easily comprehensible to new team members.
