RichFaces (fully JBoss RichFaces ) is an extensive component library for JavaServer Faces (JSF), with which rich client -based Java EE applications (often also called Web 2.0 applications ) can be created. It is based on the open source framework Ajax4jsf and enables simple use of Ajax for the development of software for business applications. The RichFaces project ended in June 2016, i.e. In other words, no further development takes place.

properties

Ajax4jsf Framework is extended by RichFaces in two ways:

  • it provides further visual components for direct use
  • it implements the skinnability feature of the Ajax4jsf framework and contains a large number of ready-made skins .

RichFaces differs from other AJAX approaches through the page-oriented support of AJAX instead of the traditional component-oriented support. This means that an event that can trigger an AJAX request and an area of ​​the page that is to be updated after the AJAX request has been processed can be specified independently of the components contained on the page.

Primefaces, Apache MyFaces and ICEfaces are an alternative to RichFaces as a component library .

history

Like Ajax4jsf, RichFaces is a freely available open source class library from JBoss , a Red Hat business unit . However, it was originally developed by Exadel, Inc., but then brought to the JBoss open source community as part of a strategic partnership with Red Hat.
