Answer 3

If you are using JSF, I hope you are using facelets. It's the future of Faces and much easier than JSF in JSP. Following are Facelets and JSF links.

facelets: https://facelets.dev.java.net/nonav/docs/dev/docbook.html

facelets-users mailing list: https://facelets.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectMailingListList

expression language: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JSPIntro7.html

essential blog post: http://www.ilikespam.com/blog/c:foreach-vs-ui:repeat-in-facelets

jsf-ri docs: http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/reference/api/

I would seriously avoid roseindia. I think they went for quantity over quality. For instance the totally useless entry on the ui:decorate tag, which can be a very useful tag. http://www.roseindia.net/jsf/decorate.shtml The roseindia entry has no useful information about parameters, or why you would want to use the decorate tag, just a demo of a case you would never actually want to do.

I will also second the IBM and balusc links.
