This article is based on, and contains excerpts from, the book Pro JSF:
Building Rich Internet Components by Jonas Jacobi and John Fallows, published
by Apress. Book is available on fine bookstores and Amazon.
In our previous article - "Rich Internet Components with JavaServer Faces"
(JDJ, Vol. 10, issue 11) - 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

components.
To use AJAX and Mozilla XUL with JSF, component writers have to make sure
to provide any resource files needed by t... (more)
This is our last article in a series of four that have been introducing the

Internet Components with JavaServer Faces" (Vol. 10, issue 11), and design a
Google-like JDJ I... (more)
A fast-moving Comet is about to impact the Internet. When it hits, it will

allow a new World Wide Web to evolve.
This new Web will include applications that are instantly on and always on,

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)
