Happy Friday!Today's freebie is for the coders out there - an AJAX/JSF open source toolkit that lets you develop cool Web 2.0 applications without JavaScript... Ajax4jsf is a component framework that extends the benefits of JSF to AJAX development. Ajax4jsf 1.0 allows developers to add AJAX capability easily, even to existing JSF applications. The unique benefits of release 1.0 include:
AJAX Support within JSF for asynchronous communication and partial page updates AJAX
100% compatibility with JSF utilizing all JSF features during the AJAX request/response lifecycle including event listeners, validation, transformation, and messages
Capability to make existing JSF components AJAX-enabled with no changes to the components themselves
Zero JavaScript AJAX: Taking full advantage of AJAX features without the need for any JavaScript coding
Open architecture and support for industry standards allows the mixing and matching of components from different libraries within an application (even on the same page). THIS SENTENCE FROM THE PRESS RELEASE IS CRAFTED TO IMPLY COMPATABILITY BUT IS LIKELY HYPE. THERE ARE NO INDUSTRY STANDARDS FOR AJAX, UNLESS YOU COUNT ECMA AND JAVASCRIPT, AND WHILE YOU COULD OSTENSIBLY SUPPORT COMPONENTS FROM TWO DISPARATE AJAX LIBRARIES, DON'T EXPECT THEM TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE - LIVING ON THE SAME PAGE != SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE
Ajax4jsf is sponsored on Java.net by Exadel, Inc., a provider of software, services and support that enable companies to create mission-critical business applications based on open source and Java??? technologies.
You can download version 1.0 of Ajax4jsf here.Happy coding!
