Configuration A JSF web application needs to be configured in the application's web.xml deployment descriptor and comes with its own configuration file.
Web application configuration 2 questions Identify and write correct XML fragments for configuration of a JSF application in the web.xml deployment descriptor. This includes configuration of the JSF servlet and the standard configuration parameters.	3	45	8	Add a question Beta questions

Managed beans
Managed bean configuration 2 questions Identify and write correct XML fragments for configuration of managed beans. This includes managed properties, bean scope and map and list configuration.	6	17	10	Add a question Beta questions
Managed bean classes 2 questions Know that managed bean classes need to conform to the JavaBeans specification (in particular where it concerns the constructor and property accessors) or be an implementation of one of two interfaces from the Collections Framework. Identify and write Java classes that conform to the JavaBeans specification and can therefore be used as managed beans by a JSF implementation.	4	7	17	Add a question Beta questions

Method binding syntax 2 questions Identify and write correct method binding expressions for invoking action methods on managed beans. Note that action listener methods, validator methods and value change methods are not part of this exam!	3	2	5	Add a question Beta questions
JSF pages The main usage of JSF is in authoring web pages using JSF custom tags. This exam requires knowledge of part of the custom tags that are defined by the JSF specification.
JSF standard JSP tags 2 questions Identify and write correct JSP fragments using the following custom tags: from the core tag library: param, selectItem, selectItems, view content interweaving using `<f:verbatim>` from the standard html renderkit tag library: commandButton, commandLink, form, inputHidden, inputSecret, inputText, inputTextarea, outputFormat, outputLabel, outputLink, outputText, selectBooleanCheckbox, selectManyCheckbox, selectManyListbox, selectManyMenu, selectOneListbox, selectOneMenu, selectOneRadio The focus lies not with the pass-through html attributes, but with the JSF-specific value binding and method binding attributes.	2	94	13	Add a question Beta questions
JSF standard converter and validator tags 2 questions Identify and write correct JSP fragments using the following custom converter and validator tags from the core tag library: convertDateTime, convertNumber, validateDoubleRange, validateLength and validateLongRange.	1	17	14	Add a question Beta questions
