Well, this was a pretty heavy chapter, but many of the important aspects in JSF were touched upon here. You learned how to create, extend, and configure several of the main JSF 2.x artifacts and how they have been improvised upon by JSF 2.2, especially with the dependency injection mechanism.

There are still a lot of things that were not discussed here; however, in the next chapter, we will continue this journey and cover other things, such as renders, handlers, and factories.
