The web application using JSF 2, PrettyFaces, Spring and JPA.

• Spring
• JPA/Hibernate
• Apache Tomcat 7 server
• PrettyFaces for pretty URLs.
• Zurb Foundation 5

• The project uses the H2 embedded database. So no additional DB configuration required.
• shema.sql file contains the database creation script
• test-data.sql creates some data fixtures
• both schema.sql and test-data.sql are referenced in datasource-tx-jpa.xml, their declaration order is IMPORTANT !

• add CRUD for Comment resource
• add flash messages for succes and validation errors
• tests

Run mvn clean install to download all the dependencies and initialize the project.

To run on Tomcat server:

• either copy the generated war (it is in the project's target directory) into Tomcat's webapp folder
• or deploy it in a standard way via Tomcat's application manager interface.
• or run the project directly from your favorite IDE (usually via Project-Run menu).

JSF processes all the actions as POST requests. So all the postingtags like h:commandLink or h:commandButtonshould be placed inside a h:form element, that requires some extra work with CSS. That's why the links to delete a post are not so nicely aligned :).

It seems like it is not possible to process several views in the same bean (controller) like Ruby on Rails does. That's why edit/update actions were extracted into a separate PostEditBean class.
