I have done the NetBeans tutorial on JSF and it works. Only, I'm trying to grow the concepts (nitty-gritty JSF) from Geary/Horstmann up to NetBeans. In NetBeans 6.1, lots of work is done behind the scenes, but if I grok something at the low level, I don't always know how to relate (or do) it at the Visual Web JSF level. I'm thinking once I've gone from the bottom up after having gone from the top down, some important notions might begin to click.

The login example at netbeans.org is for version 5.5 and much has changed since then (or so it appears to me) and that tutorial didn't get me very far.

I hope someone has a good suggestion.
