Seam+Richfaces have a fair amount of overlap. I am using Tomahawk tags in my app:
1. dataTable
I will be switching these out asap to Richfaces. I currently have no problem with them,
but the Richfaces on looks better. I will see how this process goes. If I have to
makes substantial changes to my code. I will try to see if I had been taken down the
wrong track as SmokingAPipe stated. I have had this feeling before.
2. buffer
I use this to buffer a error message for an input field and then write it into the title
of input field for easy mouse over without javascript. I am sure there is an easy Seam or
Facelets way to do this. If any one has suggestions, I welcome them.
3. inputCalendar
Seam now has a date picker and there is no reason not to switch to that. This is all
encapsulated in a Facelets tag so the upgrade with be a snap. In theory ;)
4. panelTabbedPane
Richfaces has tabPanel and I will switch this out as well.
5. jscookMenu
I have no problems with this tag. It provides the majority of the navigation to my
application. I do not plan on changing this until there is an equivalent in richfraces.
I doubt that all tomahawk components are bad. If Richfaces or Seam had overlapping
functionality the why not go with those.
There should be documentation on the compatibility of different individual components with
Seam. It should be easy to find this information. Possibly there could be a section on
the wiki that list component sets and each component. Then users could comment on
individual components and the Seam team could even comment on compatibly. I think that
this would give people a chance to collaborate regarding their experience in a more
organized fashion than the forums. The bottom line is that Seam rocks and the move
component that I can use it with the better. I think if the component respects the JSF
spec then it should work with Seam. If it does not then it should be fixed or not used.
Users need motivation to comment on their experiece with different tags in an organized
fashion that will benefit everyone.
If this is going to rival M$ then there should be a large number of OS components
compatible with Seam.
