Meeting....: Silicon Valley Java Users Group (SVJUG)

Time.......: April 13,2005 (second Wednesday of each month)

Cost.......: Always FREE to all!

Topic......: Wireless Development with JSF

Speaker....: Jonas Jacobi, Oracle Corporation
(http://www.oracle.com)

Description:

One of the key differentiators of JavaServer
Faces (JSF) is that it can be markup agnostic,
allowing you to attach any available render kit
(HTML, WML, Telnet/Character mode etc.) to a
set of components. Using custom JSF components
a developer can build applications targeted for
different agents (browsers, PDAs, etc.) with a
common programming model - JSF and Java. To
illustrate this flexibility the session will
introduce the concept of mobile development and
how this can be improved upon using JSF. As a
foundation for this session ADF Faces components
(a rich set of JSF components) will be used to
illustrate that this is something very real
and that this technology will be available to
developers later this summer.
