This is a simple Hello World application with Spring 3 MVC. Like the default Apache HTTPd welcome page, it displays " It works! " when successfully deployed. The sole purpose is to show the minimum elements needed to setup Spring 3 MVC.
I use Maven since it's so much easier than downloading the dependencies manually.

Behavior for functions substringBefore and substringAfter are well defined when the string to look for exists. But what happens when the substring is not found? Do they return the whole string or empty string?
Code:
<p>substringBefore('a.b', '.'): #{fn:substringBefo...
Result:
substringBefore('a.b', '.'): a

This facelet fragment will never print anything:
<ui:repeat var="person" value="#{myBean.theJTeam}"... because the test condition always returns false, even though the person var is not null. The same happens even when I define another variable with ui:param : <ui:repeat var="person" value="#{myBean.theJTeam}"... What's happening? The c:if test condition is evaluated before the ui:repeat tag had a chance to set the value! Both facelet ui tags and JSTL c tags are evaluated at the Render Response phase of the JSF lifecycle. But within the Render Response cycle, there are two sub-phases (so to speak): the first builds the UI element tree, the second renders the UI tree. The JSTL c:if tag is evaluated when the tree is built, but the facelet ui:repeat tag is evaluated when the UI...

Using the c:forEach tag in JSF:
<c:forEach var="person" value="#{myBean.people}">
...
failed with OutOfMemoryError :
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

The problem? The c:forEach tag gets the iteration collection from the item attribute, not the value attribute (as ui:repeat does). But still, OutOfMemoryError for using a wrong attribute is gross!

Using JSTL tags in JSF facelets is quite simple: just add the XML namespace for the JSTL tags and use them in the page.
An example of using the <c:if> tag:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Trans...

JSTL was built for Java Server Pages (JSPs). With the coming of JSF 2.0, facelets, instead of JSP , is the preferred page rendering technology.
Facelets exposes a subset of the JSTL Core tag library and the entirety of the JSTL Function tag library.
The JSTL tags available in facelets are:
c:set
c:if
c:forEach
c:choose
c:when
c:otherwise
c:catch

Implicit variables are always available to JSTL - you don't need to set them before using them. Page context: pageContext pageContext properties: Name Type Description page javax.servlet.Servlet The current servlet request request javax.servlet.ServletRequest The current servlet request response javax.servlet.ServletResponse The current servlet response servletConfig javax.servlet.ServletConfig The servlet config servletContext javax.servlet.ServletContext The application session javax.servlet.http.HttpSession The current HTTP session Note: request , response etc., is not directly available, you access them with pageContext.request , pageContext.response , etc. Scope variables: pageScope, requestScope, sessionScope, applicationScope Name Type Description pageScope java.util.Map Name-value pair of page scoped variables requestScope java.util.Map Name-value pair of request scoped variables sessionScope java.util.Map Name-value pair of session scoped variables applicationScope java.util.Map Name-value pair of application scoped variables Parameters, HTTP headers and cookies: param, paramValues, header,...

This is a bare bones, no frills, just the facts tutorial on JSTL. I will not bother you with theories, principles, best practices, anecdotes, or any other junk, because JSTL is shallow and simple, and I don't want to make it sound deep or complex.

The tags XML transform tags apply XSLT to XML documents. The XML document may be specified as the doc attribute or enclosed as the body of the <x:transform> tag. Optional <x:param> tags may be used to specify parameters for the XSLT. <x:transform> Syntax:
