Well, this was a pretty heavy chapter, but JSF's important aspects 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 improved by JSF 2.2, especially with the dependency injection mechanism. There are still a lot of things that were not discussed in this chapter, such as state management, facelet factory, and so on, but keep on reading.

See you in the next chapter, where we will discuss about working with tabular data in JSF.
