Hi in this post we will see the overview of JasperReports and how to integrate into JSF application. JasperReports is the world's most popular open source reporting engine. It is entirely written in Java and it is able to use data coming from any kind of data source and produce pixel-perfect documents that can be viewed, printed or exported in a variety of document formats including HTML, PDF, Excel, OpenOffice and Word. In Primeface library also use this JasperReports to generate the PDF, CSV and DOC formats with single line of code. see here. but its not flexible and we cant change template. so here we see the how to use JasperReports for create the template and integrate JSF 2.0. We are using iReport tool for crating template.

NetBeans IDE 7.2.1 One advantage that Facelets has over JSP is its templating mechanism. Templates allow us to specify page layout in one place, then we can have template clients that use the layout defined in the template. Since most web applications have consistent layout across pages, using templates makes our applications much more maintainable, since changes to the layout need to be made in a single place. If at one point we need to change the layout for our pages (add a footer, or move a column from the left side of the page to the right side of the page, for example), we only need to change the template, and the change is reflected in all template clients.

NetBeans IDE 7.2.1 A very nice JSF 2.0 feature is the ability to easily write custom JSF components. With JSF 2, creating a custom component involves little more than creating the markup for it, with no Java code or configuration needed. Since custom components are typically composed of other JSF components, they are referred to as composite components.

JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0, is an MVC web framework which focus on simplifies building user interfaces (comes with 100+ ready UI tags) for Java web application and make reusable UI component easy to implement. Unlike JSF 1.x, almost everything is declared in faces-config.xml, with JSF 2.0, you are allowed to use annotation to declare navigating, managed bean or CDI bean, which make your development easier and faster. In this tutorial, it provides many step by step examples and explanations on using JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0 framework. Happy learning JSF 2.0 :)

NetBeans IDE 7.2.1

public void someMethod() { FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); Application application = facesContext.getApplication(); ProjectStage projectStage = application.getProjectStage(); if (projectStage.equals(ProjectStage.Development)) { //do development stuff } else if (projectStage.equals(ProjectStage.Production)) { //do production stuff } else if (projectStage.equals(ProjectStage.SystemTest)) { // do system test stuff } else if (projectStage.equals(ProjectStage.UnitTest)) { //do unit test stuff } }

Warning: This page calls for XML namespace http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui declared with prefix p but no taglibrary exists for that namespace Solution: change the old tag and instead use the following: xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
