• JSF frameworks: Shale and Seam by Daniel Rubio   - [Clicks: 314]
  JSF (JavaServer Faces) was created to address many of the shortcomings present in its Java Web-tier predecessors: JavaServer Pages (JSP) and servlets. But although JSF incorporates many novel approaches to developing Web-based applications from earlier technologies, bringing in a fresh approach to developing Java on the Web tier also comes with its share of challenges. To this end, two frameworks are already being used to streamline the use of JSF components in combination with other Java elements: Shale, developed by the Apache Software Foundation, and Seam, developed by JBoss. This article describes the value these two frameworks bring to your developments with JavaServer Faces.

• All Hail Shale: Anatomy of a Shale application by Brett McLaughlin   - [Clicks: 122]
  Brett McLaughlin continues his introduction to Shale with an in-depth look at the framework's application directory structure. Using the Shale starter application introduced in the first article in this series, Brett walks you through the core directories, from src/ to dist/. He shows you how Shale stores its libraries, where custom files go, and where you can insert specialized behaviors into your Shale applications. Along the way, he gives you some important tips about managing the Shale directories and gets you started with an example application (based on the Shale starter application) that serves as the basis of his discussion for the remainder of the series.
