What this book covers

Chapter 1, Using Standard and Custom Converters in JSF covers the standard and custom converters in JSF. We start with implicit and explicit conversion examples, then move on to creating and using custom converters, and we end up with client-side converters using MyFaces Trinidad.

Chapter 2, Using Standard and Custom Validators in JSF continues with standard and custom validators. We see how to use a standard validator, how to create and use custom validators, and how to use RichFaces and Apache MyFaces validators. We also present the new JSF 2.0 validators, such as f:validateRegex and f:validateRequired.

Chapter 3, Security covers some security issues. You will see how to use the JSF Security project without JAAS Roles, use secured managed beans with JSF Security, and use Acegi/Spring security in JSF applications.
