Java Web Application Plugins

Question

Java

Good day.

Faced the following problem: Is it possible to write separate plugins in Java for a web application written using jsf? In fact, there is a basic module with basic functionality, additional functionality needs to be transferred to plugins. I don’t fully understand how to formulate the question correctly, but the requirements are as follows: plugins should not depend on each other, and the base module should not depend on them either. I don’t even know what points to clarify and in which direction to dig. I would be grateful for any literature and examples on the topic.

Answer 1

Since the question is not clearly formulated, I will try to help with general recommendations.
First, think about the interfaces between the application and the plugins,
think about how the plugins should hook into the application, for example through some kind of configuration file,
or the plugin should call some method in the application, implementing something like a subscription.
I don’t know which book to recommend, because I don’t know what you need,
there is a good book on jsf by Horstman link here
I think if you formulate the question in more detail, it will be easier to answer.
