RichFaces 4.0

INTRODUCTION

RichFaces 4.0 is an advanced JSF 2.0 based framework that provides a complete range of rich Ajax enabled UI components, as well as other features such as a component development kit,dynamic resource support, and skinning. The 4.0 version brings complete JSF 2.0 support to the project. RichFaces is made up of two component tag libraries. “a4j:” represents core Ajax functionality, and page wide controls. While the “rich:” component set represent self contained and advanced UI components such as calendars, and trees.

Hot Tip

No filters or other updates to your web.xml areneeded to install RichFaces 4.0.

Page Setup
To use RichFaces components in your views add:
xmlns:a4j=”http://richfaces.org/a4j” xmlns:rich=”http://richfaces.org/rich”

JavaServer Faces 2.0
The second version of JSF added many features such as, core Ajax functionality, integrated Facelets support, annotations, view parameters, and more. RichFaces 4.0 has been specifically redesigned to notonly work with these new features, but to extend them.

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.richfaces.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=richfaces-archetype-simpleapp -DarchetypeVersion= -DgroupId=-DartifactId= -Dversion=
