xulfaces integrates JSF with XUL
It satisfies the following goals:
- Light deployment.
Mozilla and Firefox have an integrated XUL engine, so you can use your favorite web browser to run an XUL application.
- Keep the business layer on the server side.
JSF and Ajax are used to build a bridge between the client and the server.
- rich UI features.
XUL offers a rich UI for business applications. XUL is a simple XML language.
There are trees, tabbed panes, list boxes, wizards and so on. You have the ability to refresh the entire screen or a part of it.
Add power to xulfaces via this Tapestry-like framework based on JSF.
xulfaces is a JSF custom RenderKit and generates pure XUL.
