This tutorial explains and demonstrates the use of JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology to develop XForms applications. The JSF API (JSR-127) allows enterprise Java developers to build user interfaces for their server-side applications. XForms (a W3C recommendation) is an XML application that provides a framework for designing XML-based data entry forms. This tutorial covers XForms authoring requirements in a server-side Java application. It provides the inside-out picture of the JSF technology and shows how XForms authoring requirements fit into the JSF architecture.

We will also develop a sample application (XForms-JSF shopping cart) so you can see the concepts put to w
