[boston] * Reminder * - Going Above and Beyond with RichFaces (November 9th, 2010 @ 6 PM)

[Jesper Pedersen]

Hi all,

A friendly reminder about our meeting next week:

Going Above and Beyond with RichFaces
by Jay Balunas, JBoss by Red Hat

Date: November 9th, 2010 @ 6 PM

Location:

Boston University
111 Cummington St
Boston, MA 02215

MCS 135 (Math and Computer Science Building)
1st floor

Abstract:

In this session, Jay Balunas will review several new features in JSF 2.0, 
focusing on the sufficiency and shortcomings of each. Then he'll also review 
how RichFaces 4 and Seam 3 are enhancing JSF to solve these shortcomings by 
prototyping functionality for the future of JSF.

The JSF 2.0 specification (JSR-314) addresses a substantial number of long 
standing pain points that JSF users have come to accept as a hard-knock life. 
At last, JSF is a true contender amongst Web frameworks. However, JSF 2.0 is 
not the end of the story as, thankfully, the expert group has once again left 
the door open for projects like RichFaces and Seam to extent, prototype, and 
improve the specification. RichFaces led the industry with Ajax support for 
JSF1.2, played a significant role in the development of JSF 2.0.  In a similar 
way Seam revolutionized dependency injection, conversation scopes, and other 
pain points of JSF 1.2.  These lead directly to features in JSF 2.0, and these 
projects continue to lead and prototype the future of the JSF standard for the 
RIA ecosystem.
