In this final installment in his four-part JSF for nonbelievers series, Rick Hightower shows you the time-saving moves that will convince you, for once and for all, that JSF component development is easier than you think. Editor's note: Since publication, Sun has open sourced JSF 1.2 under their CDDL license. See Resources for a link to the new project page. For details on getting started with JSF 1.2, now integrated in JEE 5, see Richard Hightower's tutorial series.
