Call web service with WSDLCall methods

Classes Courses / MenusUse their own proxy ObjectOne file for each functionnality

Easy to call a method (by generic function) Complex to receive parameters

Java-based Web Application framework JSF uses a component-based approach

Comparison Comparison › Results› ResultsJSF is reliable (it’s a standard made by Sun)

JSF is lighter than PHP to build interfaces.

JSF is easier and lighter to use than PHP for managing types (int, String…) .

JSF isn’t trivial to use, learning is needed.

We have chosen JSF

Project context › PHP user interface › JSF user interface › Comparison › Conclusion 19

ConclusionConclusionJSF will be used to implement the

user interfaces of the project jSeduite.

In our report we had made a tutorial about JSF and how to use it.

It was interesting to compare two great technologies.
