Overview of this book

This book is written as a tutorial, leading you through examples to illuminate the main theory and get you working with the Entity Framework as quickly as possible. This book is for C# developers who want an easier way to create their data access layer. You will need to be comfortable with ADO.NET, but you don't need to know anything about the Entity Framework. Along the way we will create some ASP.NET applications, so being familiar with this will also help.

Developing Our first JSF Application

From an application developer's point of view, a JSF application consists of a series of JSP pages containing custom JSF tags, one or more JSF managed beans, and a configuration file named faces-config.xml. The faces-config.xml file declares the managed beans in the application, as well as the navigation rules to follow when navigating from one JSF page to another.

Creating a New JSF Project

To create a new JSF project, we need to go to File | New Project, select the Java Web project category, and Web Application as the project type.

After clicking Next>, we need to enter a Project Name, and optionally change other information for our project, although NetBeans provides sensible defaults.

On the next page in the wizard, we can select the Server, Java EE Version, and Context Path of our application. In our example we will simply pick the default values.

On the next page of the new project wizard, we can select what frameworks our web application will...
