Using J2Page with Java Server Faces (JSF)
Java Server Faces is the (relatively) new
component-based GUI technology from Sun Microsystems for building dynamic web applications. While J2Page can
be used by itself to create pure Ajax web interfaces without any server-side component, we are also working on JSF integration. Specifically we
are interested in enabling the ability to create Ajax-enabled JSF components without needing to write any JavaScript.
That is, using J2Page it should be possible to write both the server and client-side portions of an Ajax-enabled
component in Java.
Unfortunately this integration is not yet ready for release and it is only possible to use J2Page in "standalone"
mode at the moment. Stay tuned to the RSS feed or visit the News page to receive
announcements about JSF integration as it becomes available.
In the meantime, those interested in finding out more about JSF are recommended to visit Kito Mann's
excellent JSF Central
