Ajax4jsf. AJAX for Java Server Faces Framework

November 17th, 2007 Arsen Posted in Patterns - Java |

Ajax4jsf is an open source framework that adds AJAX capability to existing JSF applications without using Javascript.

Ajax4jsf fully leverages the benefits of the JavaServer Faces framework including lifecycle, validation, and conversion facilities and management of static and dynamic resources. Using Ajax4jsf, rich components with built-in AJAX support and a highly customizable look-and-feel can easily be incorporated into JSF applications.

The framework is implemented using a component library that adds AJAX capability to your existing pages without needing to write any JavaScript code or needing to replace existing components with new AJAX widgets. Ajax4jsf enables page-wide AJAX support instead of the traditional component-wide support. This means you can define the event on the page that invokes an AJAX request and the areas of the page that should be synchronized with the JSF Component Tree after the AJAX request changes the data on the server according to the events fired on the client.
