Getting Started

In a Backbase JSF web application, the JSF Edition is an integral part of the application. For new JSF Edition development projects, different installation (deployment) options are available:

  • The JSF Edition package contains a blank directory that includes the sources and the build script necessary to produce a blank application for any of the supported application servers.
  • Eclipse IDE—the JSF Edition includes an Eclipse plugin with project facets, page templates, tools and starter kits that can be installed into and managed by the Eclipse IDE.
  • WAR (Development)—the JSF Edition starterkits and Client Runtime are delivered as WAR files ready for deployment in application containers in your development environment. Client-side developer tooling is available.
  • WAR (Production)—the JSF Edition includes a WAR file for the Client Runtime optimized for a production environment. The binding files in this WAR are optimized for performance. Client-side developer tooling is not available when using the optimized WAR.

For more information, please refer to the Deployment Guide. Installation instructions for the Backbase Eclipse plugin can be found in the Application Development Guide. Note that all JSF Edition documentation is available here.
