I recently discovered this very useful Netbeans tutorial for creating a simple JSF 2 CRUD application http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/jsf20-crud.html. The final product has somewhat limited usability as one is confronted with a myriad of web pages. I would like an example of how to consolidate the Create and Edit forms (using the same project if possible). This seems more in keeping with how a person would actually enter such information and would reduce the risk of data entry mistakes. Why enter a client and their billing address on separate screens? One should be able to add or remove addresses, if need be, on the client's edit form. Or if a new client has multiple addresses, enter them all on the client's create form. The application just seemed 开发者_如何学Cincomplete with no further tips on how to improve it. If one has knows of a useful book that covers this, then I would gladly read that as well. Thanks.
I didn't realize the complexity of my problem and found that I couldn't get what I needed using JSF2 with the information resources available. Through my searches, I also found that many others were asking about Master-Detail CRUD applications, which I then learned was what I needed, but in slightly different ways and not getting any solid examples. A problem properly stated is half solved and I didn't know the problem statement. Armed with more knowledge, I was shocked to find that the answers were not readily available outside of some videos on YouTube showcasing Oracle ADF. In the end, I was able to quickly build the application I desired using the Play! Framework. In a way, by not having my question answered I was able to find a solution that would prove to be a better fit for my needs; though I would have gladly bought a cookbook if someone had pointed one out.
