WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.287 --> 00:00:02.726 Hey welcome back. 2 00:00:02.726 --> 00:00:04.988 So in this video, I'm gonna show you how to set up 3 00:00:04.988 --> 00:00:09.155 your development environment for Java Server Faces. 4 00:00:10.227 --> 00:00:12.282 So we'll actually cover the required software 5 00:00:12.282 --> 00:00:14.480 for our JSF development environment 6 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.380 and we'll also discuss the high level steps 7 00:00:16.380 --> 00:00:18.797 on getting everything set up. 8 00:00:20.657 --> 00:00:22.581 Now before we get down to all the gory details 9 00:00:22.581 --> 00:00:24.703 of the JSF requirements, 10 00:00:24.703 --> 00:00:27.243 the one bare bones essential thing 11 00:00:27.243 --> 00:00:28.935 that you'll need is that you'll need to have 12 00:00:28.935 --> 00:00:31.093 the Java Development Kit installed. 13 00:00:31.093 --> 00:00:33.895 So not the JRE, but the actual JDK 14 00:00:33.895 --> 00:00:35.742 or the Java Development Kit. 15 00:00:35.742 --> 00:00:37.321 You can check out my YouTube video 16 00:00:37.321 --> 00:00:38.632 that'll take you through the steps 17 00:00:38.632 --> 00:00:39.945 on how to install Java. 18 00:00:39.945 --> 00:00:44.407 So you can simply go to luv2code.com/install-java 19 00:00:44.407 --> 00:00:45.640 and that'll take you through all the steps 20 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.139 on installing the Java Development Kit. 21 00:00:48.139 --> 00:00:49.568 But at this point I'll assume that you have 22 00:00:49.568 --> 00:00:51.757 the Java Development Kit already installed 23 00:00:51.757 --> 00:00:55.257 and I'll move forward with the next steps. 24 00:00:56.549 --> 00:00:58.405 All right, so once you have the JDK installed, 25 00:00:58.405 --> 00:01:00.552 then we'll go through the required software 26 00:01:00.552 --> 00:01:02.970 for building JSF applications 27 00:01:02.970 --> 00:01:04.735 so you're gonna need the following. 28 00:01:04.735 --> 00:01:05.901 The first thing you're gonna need is a 29 00:01:05.901 --> 00:01:07.862 Java Application Server. 30 00:01:07.862 --> 00:01:09.205 Now, there's a lot of different 31 00:01:09.205 --> 00:01:10.998 Java Application Servers out there 32 00:01:10.998 --> 00:01:15.168 like Tomcat, GlassFish, Jboss, WebLogic, WebSphere 33 00:01:15.168 --> 00:01:17.674 and so on, the list goes on and on. 34 00:01:17.674 --> 00:01:19.729 However to keep things simple and straight forward, 35 00:01:19.729 --> 00:01:21.545 we're gonna make use of the Tomcat server 36 00:01:21.545 --> 00:01:22.543 and the following videos 37 00:01:22.543 --> 00:01:24.855 will show you how to install the Tomcat server. 38 00:01:24.855 --> 00:01:26.215 The next thing you're gonna need is 39 00:01:26.215 --> 00:01:29.609 a development environment or a Java IDE. 40 00:01:29.609 --> 00:01:31.380 Now when you make use of an IDE 41 00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:33.142 or a development tool really, 42 00:01:33.142 --> 00:01:35.386 you can really use any tool that you want. 43 00:01:35.386 --> 00:01:38.845 You can use a text editor like TextPad or Notepad or VI. 44 00:01:38.845 --> 00:01:40.605 You can use NetBeans or whatever, 45 00:01:40.605 --> 00:01:42.441 but again, to keep things simple 46 00:01:42.441 --> 00:01:44.824 I'm gonna focus on the one tool and we're gonna make use 47 00:01:44.824 --> 00:01:46.548 of the Eclipse development environment. 48 00:01:46.548 --> 00:01:49.881 It's the most popular Java development environment. 49 00:01:49.881 --> 00:01:51.036 And I'll show you how to install that 50 00:01:51.036 --> 00:01:52.360 in the following slides. 51 00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:53.737 And then the third thing you're gonna need 52 00:01:53.737 --> 00:01:55.788 is the JSF JAR files. 53 00:01:55.788 --> 00:01:58.430 So JSF is an API, they have a number of classes 54 00:01:58.430 --> 00:02:00.093 and interfaces that you have to use 55 00:02:00.093 --> 00:02:01.969 and you'll have to download those JAR files 56 00:02:01.969 --> 00:02:04.066 and include them in your project. 57 00:02:04.066 --> 00:02:05.987 Now you can manually download the JAR files 58 00:02:05.987 --> 00:02:09.570 from Oracle's website and manually include them, however, 59 00:02:09.570 --> 00:02:11.827 I wanna show you this really cool trick in Eclipse 60 00:02:11.827 --> 00:02:14.443 where Eclipse will actually automatically download 61 00:02:14.443 --> 00:02:18.641 the JSF JAR files for you, and include it into your project. 62 00:02:18.641 --> 00:02:22.808 So, you'll see this information in the following videos. 63 00:02:24.979 --> 00:02:28.297 Now this is a lot of information to cover in just one video, 64 00:02:28.297 --> 00:02:30.955 as far as getting all this software installed. 65 00:02:30.955 --> 00:02:32.954 So what I'm gonna do, I'm actually gonna break it up 66 00:02:32.954 --> 00:02:34.584 into multiple videos. 67 00:02:34.584 --> 00:02:36.859 The first thing I'll do is I'll show you how to install 68 00:02:36.859 --> 00:02:39.920 the Java Application Server or Tomcat. 69 00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:41.275 And I'll show you how to do it for 70 00:02:41.275 --> 00:02:42.615 the different operating systems. 71 00:02:42.615 --> 00:02:45.868 So I'll show you how to install Tomcat for Microsoft Windows 72 00:02:45.868 --> 00:02:47.969 and also for the Macintosh. 73 00:02:47.969 --> 00:02:51.548 Then, we'll move forward to our Java IDE, Eclipse, 74 00:02:51.548 --> 00:02:54.328 and again, I'll show you how to install it for Windows 75 00:02:54.328 --> 00:02:56.501 and also how to install it for the Mac. 76 00:02:56.501 --> 00:02:59.049 And then finally I'll show you how to pull all this together 77 00:02:59.049 --> 00:03:00.868 by making use of Eclipse. 78 00:03:00.868 --> 00:03:02.728 We'll have Eclipse run Tomcat 79 00:03:02.728 --> 00:03:04.859 and also I'll show you how to have Eclipse 80 00:03:04.859 --> 00:03:07.514 download those JSF JAR files for you. 81 00:03:07.514 --> 00:03:10.023 So all this is coming up in the following videos. 82 00:03:10.023 --> 00:03:13.124 So for Tomcat and Eclipse just follow the appropriate 83 00:03:13.124 --> 00:03:15.111 videos for your operating system 84 00:03:15.111 --> 00:03:19.278 and then everything else will merge up after those videos. 85 00:03:21.045 --> 00:03:22.817 All right, so let's do a quick summary. 86 00:03:22.817 --> 00:03:25.108 In this video, we discussed the required software 87 00:03:25.108 --> 00:03:27.212 that's required for JSF development 88 00:03:27.212 --> 00:03:30.169 and we also covered the high level steps. 89 00:03:30.169 --> 00:03:31.986 Stick around, in the following videos 90 00:03:31.986 --> 00:03:34.068 I'll show you how to go through each one of those steps 91 00:03:34.068 --> 00:03:36.758 as far as installing the app server, the IDE 92 00:03:36.758 --> 00:03:40.925 and getting the JSF JAR files installed in your project.
