At long last, we got this true community effort out to the bookshelves. It’s been a long time coming and a good bit more delayed than anyone might have expected. Regardless, the additional time spent has resulted in a book of much higher quality and applicability. For users getting into MyFaces and Facelets - this book is the only one to give you full exposure into all the sub-projects, their uses and common pitfalls.

Special thanks goes to the two late entrants into the book - Hazem Saleh & Allan Lykke Christensen - both of whom contributed tirelessly to improve the book’s content and quality. I could not have finished this project without their late injection of enthusiasm!

I thank Richard Monson-Haefel for this opportunity!
