JavaServer Faces Forum Drop in to the JavaServer Faces forum to discuss how to build web applications using JavaServerFaces technology.

Join us in the chat room at irc.freenode.net Converse with members of the team working on JavaServer Faces technology by joining our public chat room on freenode.net. After you access freenode with your IRC client for the first time, you register yourself with the following command:

/msg NickServ REGISTER <your password>

The password should be one that you don't mind others accessing. In other words, don't use a password that you already use for something else important.
Every time you log in thereafter, you need to identify yourself to the NickServ:

/msg NickServ IDENTIFY <your password>

Finally, after you've registered your password or identified yourselfe, you join the channel:

/join ##jsf

(Note the two ##). Happy chatting!
