Creating JSF user interfaces
We shall input data for the EDITION, SECTION, and ARTICLE tables from JSF interfaces. In this section, we shall create the edition.jsp, section.jsp and article.jsp JSFs. We shall use the backing beans from the JSFs as EJB 3.0 clients. In the backing beans, we shall lookup the session bean remote interface and invoke the createEdition, createSection, and createArticle methods to create and persist Entity, Section, and Article entities. First, we need to create the JSFs for the entities. We shall create the JSFs in the ViewController project. Select the ViewController project node and select File | New. In the New Gallery window, select Web Tier | JSF in Categories and JSF Page in Items. Click on OK:
