Comparison Project context › PHP user interface › JSF user interface › Comparison › Conclusion 17 Volume per service By the controller 3 modules : Proxy Interface (heavy) Methods to manage types (very heavy) By the controller 2 short files : Interface JSF (easy) Controller Java

Comparison Project context › PHP user interface › JSF user interface › Comparison › Conclusion 18 Types Management Very Easy Not so simple ! It Needs some learning !

Comparison › Results JSF 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

Conclusion JSF 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. Project context › PHP user interface › JSF user interface › Comparison › Conclusion 20
