Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “The param-value tells PrimeFaces that we want to use the omega theme for the project.”

A block of code is set as follows:

<context-param>
   <param-name>primefaces.THEME</param-name>
   <param-value>saga</param-value>
</context-param>

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

mvn compile

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “If a quick fix can be applied, you can do so by right-clicking the incident and choosing Apply All Quickfixes.”
