Oktober 12, 2007: JBoss RichFaces used in new
version
-
During the last weeks, a couple of JSF-related
frameworks and component libraries have been
evaluated in order to find the future directon for
the Explorer. Dropping JSF in general has never been
an option, but a little bit more Web 2.0 would be
nice. However, finally JBoss RichFaces became the
component library of choice which is intended to
solve some issues. First of all, the navigation
should be changed to a nice Explorer-like tree view.
Furthermore, the GUI should get a facelift and
become a little bit more robust. Not really
required, but definitely nice to have and useful is
the built-in AJAX support that comes with RichFaces.
So far, the integration runs pretty smoothly so that
the release of RichFaces-powered JCR-Explorer 0.9.6
can hopefully roll out soon.
