Hello,
I'm pleased to announce another installment in JSF Central's "In the
Trenches" series about real world projects that use JavaServer Faces. This
article examines how a software development firm in Nashville, Tennesee
used JSF to build a Point of Sale system.
Here's a quote:
Late last year, a Tennessee-based software development company, located in
Nashville, was approached by a major client in the home improvement
industry interested in simplifying the selling process for their retail
employees. The client needed a system up and running quickly, and with over
1,000 stores averaging ten sales associates each, it had to be stable,
scalable and responsive. Based on the business requirements and time
estimates, Senior Software Engineer and Presentation Lead Ray Daniel and
his co-workers realized that they would encounter some of the same issues
that one of their Struts-based projects had faced. This time, however, they
had the luxury of evaluating other web application frameworks that would
reduce both development and maintenance costs.
"I approached the project manager about the possibility of using JavaServer
Faces [JSF] for our presentation layer. I explained that I just finished
porting a Struts applications to JSF and found it much easier to use and
code against, that it promotes a cleaner separation of concerns with the
other layers of an application, removes the need to riddle a JSP with
scriplets, and reduces the number of lines of code needed on a JSP through
the effective design and use of the JSF tag libraries," says Daniel.
