xulfaces (XUL render kit for JSF)

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

xulfaces integrates JSF with XUL

It satisfies the following goals:

  • Rely on JSF power to offer a better experience to the user
  • Light deployment.

Mozilla and Firefox have an integrated XUL engine, so you can use your favorite web browser to run an XUL application.

  • Keep the business layer on the server side.

JSF and AJAX are used to build a bridge between the client and the server.

  • Rich UI features.

XUL offers a rich UI for business applications. XUL is a simple XML language.

There are trees, tabbed panes, list boxes, wizards and so on. You have the ability to refresh the entire screen or a part of it.

Add power to xulfaces via this Tapestry-like framework based on JSF.

xulfaces is a JSF custom RenderKit and generates pure XUL.
