Examples of usage of JSF

Question

Are their any good websites (characterized by high usage), that use JSF for their back-end? I have just started working with the basics of the framework. If I see some websites using JSF, may be I will be able to better appreciate the use of the technology.

Also could you mention the benefits of using JSF validation viz a viz the browser side validation of content using JavaScript.

Answer 1

See here for a list of JSF sites.

In addition see the references for two famous JSF component frameworks:

• Richfaces
• Icefaces

As for the validation - it better be on both sides - on the client side (javascript) for better usability, and on the server side for better security.
