JBoss RichFaces 3.3 by Demetrio Filocamo
Enhance your JSF web applications using powerful AJAX components
JBoss RichFaces is a rich component library for JavaServer Faces and an Ajax framework that allows easy integration of AJAX capabilities into complex business applications. Do you wish to eliminate the time involved in writing JavaScript code and managing JavaScript-compatibility between browsers to build an Ajax web application quickly?
This book goes beyond the documentation to teach you how to do that. It will show you how to get the most out of JBoss RichFaces by explaining the key components and how you can use them to enhance your applications. Most importantly, you will learn how to integrate AJAX into your applications without using JavaScript, but only standard JSF components. You will learn how to create and customize your own components and add them to your new or existing applications.
This book is more than a reference with component example code; it's a manual that will guide you, step by step, through the development of a real Ajax JSF web application.
