In our previous JDJ article - Rich Internet Components with JavaServer Faces
- we discussed how JavaServer Faces can fulfill new presentation requirements
without sacrificing application developer productivity building Rich Internet
Applications (RIA). We discussed how JSF component writers can utilize
technologies, such as AJAX and Mozilla XUL, to provide application developers
with rich, interactive and reusable components.
In order to use AJAX and Mozilla XUL with JSF, component writers have to make
sure to provide any resource files need by these technologies, such as
images, style sheets, or scripts. The standard approach to providing resource
files for a JSF component library is to serve them directly out of the web
application root file system. These resources are... (more)
Can a client-side AJAX solution and server-side Faces solution co-exist and
play well together? Or are they each solving a similar problem in a different
and incompatible way? The authors of Pro JSF and Ajax, Jonas Jacobi and
John R. Fallows, will discuss how the JavaServer Faces framework can be used
to embrace AJAX today, while protecting Web applications from radical
re-architecture ... (more)
In our last article - "JSF and AJAX" (JDJ, Vol. 11, issue 1) - we discussed
how JavaServer Faces component writers can take advantage of the new Weblets
Open Source project (http://weblets.dev.java.net) to serve resources such as
JavaScript libraries, icons, and CSS files directly from a Java Archive (JAR)
without impacting the application developer.
In this article we'll address the need... (more)
This is our last article in a series of four that have been introducing the
concepts of creating AJAX-enabled JavaServer Faces (JSF) components. In this
article we are going to summarize and encapsulate the concepts that were
introduced in the three previous JDJ articles starting with the "Rich
Internet Components with JavaServer Faces" (Vol. 10, issue 11), and design a
Google-like JDJ I... (more)
In an effort to provide developers with a productive environment, Oracle has
been working on a very rich UI component framework for several years. This
framework - ADF Faces - has now been donated to the open source community.
More precisely, it has been donated to the Apache Software Foundation and is
currently hosted in the Apache Incubator -
