Just a short post to note that we've now shipped Mojarra 2.0.1. This version fixes a very serious bug when running on Tomcat.
I've had a few requests for request aggregation, ala RichFaces queues, in JSF 2. This was deliberately not included in JSF 2.0, but it will be considered for JSF 2.1. The reason why is simple -...
I've posted the slides for the talk that Andy Schwartz and I did at Oracle Open World up on Slideshare.
Check 'em out.
Unlike most of my blog posts, where I try to describe the easiest possible way to do things, in this posting, I'll instead go over a Java-based custom JSF component that responds to the Ajax tag...
I've placed my slides for my JSF 2 and Ajax talk up on slideshare.
Check 'em out, and ask questions in the comments....
JSF 2.0 makes ajax pretty easy - but it can't hide everything from you... It's tempting to just add a few ajax tags into your page, and not worry too much about interactions - here's one example...
Just a reminder that while you are developing a JSF 2.0 project, you really, really, really should enable the Development Project Stage. Doing this enables better error messages, including...
Today we're going to talk about two features of JSF 2.0's f:ajax tag: the event attribute and the listener attribute.
The use of both of these is really, really simple - so I'll just briefly...
I'll be speaking at the Herbstcampus next week, on topics such as JSF 2, JSF and Ajax, and Comet.
If you're in Nuremburg next week...
Even though it's considered bad practice, it's often handy to eval code in JavaScript. And in my case, it was simply necessary, since the JSF specification requires eval of scripts. And it'...
The Open Ajax Alliance is a standards organization with the mission of ensuring interoperability within Web based Ajaxified applications.
I've had a few requests on how to write a busy status indicator - you know, the little spinning ball that's there while an Ajax call is active, and which goes away once the request is complete....
A few weeks ago, I blogged about ways to execute scripts on the client which you were writing out from...
A nice feature of Facelets is the ui:repeat tag, which iterates over a supplied list of values to do a full list on your page. One problem: it'll add an index to the generated id's, which can make...
A recent user question, which has been repeated enough times to warrant a blog posting.
In my last blog entry, I went over getting a YUI widget working on JSF2. This time, let's go over what'...
About a year ago, I gave a talk at JavaOne (and blogged about) writing a Comet powered TicTacToe (naughts...
Since I mentioned the other two parts of his article, it's worth pointing out the third. Go check it out, lots of great...
The Mojarra team are proud to announce the release of our Beta 2 version of Mojarra 2.0, implementing the PFD...
Today, I'd like to take a look at two different ways to create a poll component. Poll components are a way to periodically update a page with new information. We'll take a look at examples of...
Just a quick note that we've now added automatic compression of the jsf.js file served by JSF 2.
Not too long ago, I heard someone complain that the JSF tutorial wasn't ready yet. Now, that's not surprising - the tutorial writing process (for that matter, the book writing process) doesn't...
One of the talks I attended at JavaOne was Ben Galbraith speaking on UI design. While not a blockbuster talk, there was a lot of good information in...
Last night, Ryan Lubke and I gave a BOF on creating components with JSF 2.
If you've been reading my blogs, none of this will be especially new, but I did...
