Jump to Comments

Alright, Let the game begin.

In this lesson, you will see how to create a JSF Hello World Login page using JDeveloper and ADF Faces.

Open you JDeveloper and Create a new Application as below.

In the “Create Application Dialog”, set the application’s properties as the following

The created new “HelloWorld” application will look like this. It has two Projects: “Model” and “ViewController”, which are automatically created for you by JDev when you choose the Web Application template in last step.

Then we will create a JSF page on the new “ViewController” project.

Choose the JSF JSP for the file type.

Give the page a new and choose the .jspx file type instead of the .jsp type. (.jspx is a xml like JSP file type, which is for JSP 2.0 standard)

Choose “Do Not Automatically Expose UI Component In a Managed Bean”, we will come to that later.

You need to select the JSP Tag Libraries you will use in your page, so its defination will be added to the JSP page header for you.

Give it a title.

Finish it.

You now finished creating your first JSF page. You can see it in the Application Navigator under the “Web Content” folder.
