The Plan Is Simple1) Ajax features in JSF 22) The new RichFaces 4 – orwhat you need to build coolenterprise applications withJSF

JavaServer Faces™ (JSF) is the standard component- based user interface (UI) framework for the Java EE (5 & 6) platform JSF 1.2 Java EE 5 JSF 2 Java EE 6

JSF 2 is a major upgrade over JSF 1.x Many features, ideas takenfrom projects such as Seam, RichFaces, and others

JSF 2 new features● Facelets ● New scopes● Composite ◦ Flash, View, components custom● Implicit ● Configuration navigation via annotations● GET ● Bean Validation support support ◦ h:link, h:button ● Basic Ajax● Resource loading

JSF 2 <f:ajax>● Very basic Ajax functionality● Greatly inspired by RichFaces 3 <a4j:support> tag● Ajax in JSF in 3 easy steps: 1. Sending an Ajax request 2.Partial view processing 3.Partial view rendering

<h:form> <h:form> <h:input value="#{bean.word}"/> <h:input value="#{bean.word}"/> <h:commandButton> <h:commandButton> <f:ajax event="click" 1 <f:ajax event="click" execute="@form" 2 execute="@form" listener="#{bean.ajaxListener}" listener="#{bean.ajaxListener}" render="out1 out2"/> 3 render="out1 out2"/> </h:commandButton> </h:commandButton></h:form> </h:form>

<h:form> <h:form> <h:input value="#{bean.word}"/> <h:input value="#{bean.word}"/> <h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.selected}"> <h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.selected}"> <f:selectItems value="#{bean.items}"/> <f:selectItems value="#{bean.items}"/> <f:ajax event="change" 1 <f:ajax event="change" execute="@form" execute="@form" 2 listener="#{bean.ajaxListener}" listener="#{bean.ajaxListener}" render="@form"/> 3 render="@form"/> </h:commandButton> </h:commandButton></h:form> </h:form>

Attribute ValueImportant Event on which to fire the<f:ajax> event Ajax requestattributes @all @this (default) @form execute @none ids EL @all @this @form render @none (default) ids EL

Thats good, but thats all you get.Where do you get rich components and more? A rich component framework isstill(?) needed to build real-world Ajax applications.

RichFaces 4 is a lightweight,open source framework for JSF 2

RichFaces 4 – rich JSF frameworkUI components a4j:* tag library (core) rich:* tag library (UI)Components JavaScript APISkinsClient-side validation (Bean Validationbased)CDK – Component Development Kit

100% built on top of JSF2,just extends functionality in JSF 2

JavaScript is now entirelybased on the popular jQuery library

RichFaces 4 is a lot faster, consistent,and optimized All components are reviewed for consistency, usability Redesigned following semantic HTML principles Server-side and client-side performance optimization Strict code clean-up and review

New client-side validationbased on Bean Validation (JSR 303)Quickly and easily validate input on the client

New, and easy to use CDK (Component Development Kit), allows quickly to build yourown custom rich components

Pick your server:Tomcat 6/7, Resin, JBoss AS 6/7, GlassFish 3.x, WebLogic[any server where JSF 2 application can be deployed]

Deploy and run in the cloud:Google App Engine AmazonEC2, CloudBees, OpenShift

Pick JSF implementations you like: Mojarra or MyFaces

Run in any browser

Pick your favorite tooling: JBoss Tools, IntelliJ, NetBeans

Easy to start. Zero-configuration, just drop RichFaces into the application

RichFaces versions Version JSF 1.1 JSF 1.2 JSF 2RichFaces 3.1.x •RichFaces 3.3.3* • •RichFaces 4 •* Note: RichFaces 3.3.3 has basic JSF 2 support

RichFaces history2005: started by Alexander Smirnov2005-2007: Developed by Exadel Ajax4jsf - open source, free RichFaces - commercial2007: JBoss takes over Exadel team continues to develop the framework, project is known as RichFaces

Lets see what coolcomponents, and features you get with RichFaces...

RichFaces <a4j:ajax> ● 100% based on standard <f:ajax> ● Just replace f: with a4j: and get exactly the same functionality ● But, you get extra features...<h:commandButton> <h:commandButton> <f:ajax execute="@form" render="output"/> <f:ajax execute="@form" render="output"/></h:commandButton> </h:commandButton><h:commandButton> <h:commandButton> <a4j:ajax execute="@form" render="output"/> <a4j:ajax execute="@form" render="output"/></h:commandButton> </h:commandButton>

<a4j:ajax> attributesFeature/Attribute Description JavaScript to execute before Ajaxonbegin request JavaScript to execute after responseonbeforedomupdate comes back but before DOM updateoncomplete JavaScript to execute after DOM update Allows to skip JSF phases whenbypassUpdates validatinglimitRender Turns off all auto-rendered panelsstatus Status to display during Ajax requestAjax queue Advanced RichFaces client queue

Components to send Ajaxrequest● <a4j:ajax>● <a4j:commandButton>● <a4j:commandLink>● <a4j:jsFunction>● <a4j:poll>● <a4j:push>

<a4j:commandButton/Link> –button and link with built-in Ajaxbehavior<a4j:commandButton value="Save" <a4j:commandButton value="Save" action="#{bean.action}" action="#{bean.action}" render="output" /> render="output" /><a4j:commandLink value="Save" <a4j:commandLink value="Save" action="#{bean.action}" action="#{bean.action}" render="output" /> render="output" />

When using standard JSF button:<h:form> <h:form> <h:inputText> <h:inputText> <h:selectOneMenu> Need to set <h:selectOneMenu> <h:commandButton> <h:commandButton> execute=”@form” <f:ajax execute="@form"/> <f:ajax execute="@form"/> (or execute=”id1 id2”) </h:commandButton> </h:commandButton><h:form> <h:form>When using RichFaces button:<h:form> <h:form> RichFaces default <h:inputText> <h:inputText> <h:selectOneMenu> value for <h:selectOneMenu> <a4j:commandButton/> <a4j:commandButton/> button/link<h:form> <h:form> execute=”@form”

<a4j:jsFunction> – fire Ajax requestfrom any JavaScript function, HTMLevent<table> <table> ... ... <td onmouseover="update(yellow)"/> <td onmouseover="update(yellow)"/> ... ...</table> </table><h:form> <h:form> <a4j:jsFunction name="update" <a4j:jsFunction name="update" action="#{bean.change}" render="..."> action="#{bean.change}" render="..."> <a4j:param value="param1" assignTo="#{bean.color}"/> <a4j:param value="param1" assignTo="#{bean.color}"/> </a4j:jsFunction> </a4j:jsFunction></h:form> </h:form>

If you had to pick just one Ajaxcontrol, you would want<a4j:jsFunction><h:commandButton action="#{bean.change}"> <h:commandButton action="#{bean.change}"> <a4j:ajax render="id"/> <a4j:ajax render="id"/></h:commandButton> </h:commandButton>Is the same as: <h:commandButton onclick="sendAjax();"/> <h:commandButton onclick="sendAjax();"/> <a4j:jsFunction name="sendAjax" <a4j:jsFunction name="sendAjax" action="#{bean.change}" render="id"/> action="#{bean.change}" render="id"/>

<a4j:poll> – periodically send anAjax request<a4j:poll interval="1000" <a4j:poll interval="1000" action="#{bean.count}" action="#{bean.count}" render="output" render="output" enabled="#{bean.pollEnabled}" /> enabled="#{bean.pollEnabled}" /><h:panelGrid id="output"> <h:panelGrid id="output">... ...</h:panelGrid> </h:panelGrid>

<a4j:push> ● Server-side events are pushed to client using Comet or WebSockets. ● Implemented using Atmosphere ● Providesexcellent integration with EE containers, and advanced messaging services<a4j:push address="topic@chat" <a4j:push address="topic@chat" ondataavailable="alert(event.rf.data)" /> ondataavailable="alert(event.rf.data)" />

Advanced rendering features● <a4j:outputPanel>● limitRender attribute● render=”{bean.renderList}”

<a4j:outputPanel> – auto renderedpanel<a4j:commandButton value="Save" action="#{bean.save}"> <a4j:commandButton value="Save" action="#{bean.save}"><a4j:commandButton value="Edit" action="#{bean.edit}"> <a4j:commandButton value="Edit" action="#{bean.edit}"><a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true"> <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true"> <h:panelGrid> <h:panelGrid> ... ... </h:panelGrid> </h:panelGrid></a4j:outputPanel> </a4j:outputPanel><a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true"> <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true"> <rich:dataTable> <rich:dataTable> ... ... </rich:dataTable> </rich:dataTable></a4j:outputPanel> </a4j:outputPanel>

Turning off auto rendered panels<a4j:commandButton value="Save" action="#{bean.save}"> <a4j:commandButton value="Save" action="#{bean.save}"><a4j:commandButton value="Edit" action="#{bean.edit}" <a4j:commandButton value="Edit" action="#{bean.edit}" render="edit" limitRender="true"> render="edit" limitRender="true"><a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true"> <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true"> <h:panelGrid> <h:panelGrid> ... ... </h:panelGrid> </h:panelGrid></a4j:outputPanel> </a4j:outputPanel><h:panelGrid id="edit"> <h:panelGrid id="edit"> <rich:dataTable> <rich:dataTable> ... ... </rich:dataTable> </rich:dataTable></h:panelGrid> </h:panelGrid>

Advanced execute features● <a4j:region>● bypassUpdates attribute

<a4j:region> – defining executeregion declaratively<h:form> <h:form> <a4j:region> <a4j:region> <h:inputText /> <h:inputText /> <h:inputText /> <h:inputText /> <h:selectOneMenu /> <h:selectOneMenu /> <a4j:commandButton /> <a4j:commandButton /> <a4j:region> <a4j:region></h:form> </h:form>

Even more advanced featuresand tags● JavaScript callbacks● Queue● <a4j:status>● <a4j:param>● <a4j:log>

Easily use JavaScript callbacksduring Ajax request<a4j:commandLink value="Link" <a4j:commandLink value="Link" onbegin="ajaxOnBegin()" onbegin="ajaxOnBegin()" onbeforedomupdate="ajaxOnBeforeDomUpdate()" onbeforedomupdate="ajaxOnBeforeDomUpdate()" oncomplete="ajaxOnComplete()"> oncomplete="ajaxOnComplete()"></a4j:commandLink> </a4j:commandLink>

JSF 2 queue● JSF2 has very basic queue functionality● Events are queued and fired one at a time● Only one request is processed on the server at a time

<a4j:queue> – “combining” eventsfrom the same component While a request is executing on the server, all requests from button A or button B will be combined (merged) if the last event in the queue is of the same type.<a4j:queue /> <a4j:queue />... ...<a4j:commandButton id="buttonA" value="Button A"/> <a4j:commandButton id="buttonA" value="Button A"/><a4j:commandButton id="buttonB" value="Button B"/> <a4j:commandButton id="buttonB" value="Button B"/>

<a4j:queue> – “combining” eventsfrom different components While a request is executing on the server, all requests from button A or button B will be combined (merged).<a4j:queue /> <a4j:queue /><a4j:commandButton id="buttonA" value="Button A"> <a4j:commandButton id="buttonA" value="Button A"> <a4j:attachdQueue requestGroupingId="ajaxGroup"/> <a4j:attachdQueue requestGroupingId="ajaxGroup"/></a4j:commandButton> </a4j:commandButton><a4j:commandButton id="buttonB" value="Button B"> <a4j:commandButton id="buttonB" value="Button B"> <a4j:attachdQueue requestGroupingId="ajaxGroup"/> <a4j:attachdQueue requestGroupingId="ajaxGroup"/></a4j:commandButton> </a4j:commandButton>

<a4j:queue> – setting request delayallows “waiting” for requests fromsame component in order to mergeevents<a4j:queue requestDelay="1000"/> <a4j:queue requestDelay="1000"/><a4j:commandButton id="buttonA" value="Button A"> <a4j:commandButton id="buttonA" value="Button A"> <a4j:attachdQueue requestDelay="2000"/> <a4j:attachdQueue requestDelay="2000"/></a4j:commandButton> </a4j:commandButton><a4j:commandButton id="buttonB" value="Button B"/> <a4j:commandButton id="buttonB" value="Button B"/>

<a4j:queue> – ignoring “stale”responses<a4j:queue requestDelay="2000 <a4j:queue requestDelay="2000 ingoreDupResponses="true"/> ingoreDupResponses="true"/><h:inputText value="#{bean.state}"> <h:inputText value="#{bean.state}"> <a4j:ajax event="keyup" listener="#{bean.load}" <a4j:ajax event="keyup" listener="#{bean.load}" render="states"/> render="states"/></h:inputText> </h:inputText>

<a4j:status> – Ajax request status<a4j:status name="ajaxStatus"> <a4j:status name="ajaxStatus"> <f:facet name="start"> <f:facet name="start"> <h:graphicImage value="ajaxStatus.jpg"/> <h:graphicImage value="ajaxStatus.jpg"/> </f:facet> </f:facet></a4j:status> </a4j:status><h:form> <h:form> <a4j:commandButton status="ajaxStatus"/> <a4j:commandButton status="ajaxStatus"/></h:form> </h:form>

<a4j:param> - like <f:param>, butsimpler as it also assigns the value toa bean property automatically<a4j:commandButton value="Save"> <a4j:commandButton value="Save"> <a4j:param value="1009" assignTo="#{bean.product}"/> <a4j:param value="1009" assignTo="#{bean.product}"/></a4j:commandButton> </a4j:commandButton>public class Bean { public class Bean { private String product; private String product; public void setProduct (String product) {...} public void setProduct (String product) {...}}}

Another great feature is that<a4j:param> value can contain anyJavaScript expression or JavaScriptfunction, when noEscape="true"<a4j:param name="width" <a4j:param name="width" value="(jQuery(window).width()/2)" value="(jQuery(window).width()/2)" assignTo="#{bean.screenWidth}" assignTo="#{bean.screenWidth}" noEscape="true" /> noEscape="true" />

<a4j:log> – Ajax request/responseinformation, logging

Client-side validation based on Bean Validation (JSR 303) New in RichFaces 4

Bean Validation (JSR 303)JSF 2 has support for Bean Validation(validation done on server)Bean:public class Bean { public class Bean { @Pattern(regexp="...") @Pattern(regexp="...") private String email; private String email;}}JSF page:<h:inputText id="email" value="#{bean.email}"> <h:inputText id="email" value="#{bean.email}"> <a4j:ajax event="blur"/> <a4j:ajax event="blur"/></h:inputText> </h:inputText><rich:message for="email"/> <rich:message for="email"/>

Client-Validation Based on BeanValidationValidation is performed on the client. If no clientimplementation available, validation automatically fallsback to standard, server validationBean:public class Bean { public class Bean { @Pattern(regexp="...") @Pattern(regexp="...") private String email; private String email;}}JSF page:<h:inputText id="email" value="#{bean.email}"> <h:inputText id="email" value="#{bean.email}"> <rich:validator /> <rich:validator /></h:inputText> </h:inputText><rich:message for="email"/> <rich:message for="email"/>

Object validation with<rich:graphValidator>@Size(min=5,max=15) @Size(min=5,max=15)private String password1; private String password1;@Size(min=5,max=15) @Size(min=5,max=15)private String password2; private String password2;@AssertTrue(message="Passwords dont match") @AssertTrue(message="Passwords dont match")public boolean checkPassword() { public boolean checkPassword() { return password1.equals(password1); return password1.equals(password1);}}<rich:graphValidator value="#{bean}" id="crossField"> <rich:graphValidator value="#{bean}" id="crossField"> <h:inputText value="#{bean.password1}"/> <h:inputText value="#{bean.password1}"/> <h:inputText value="#{bean.password2}"/> <h:inputText value="#{bean.password2}"/> <rich:message for="email" for="crossField"/> <rich:message for="email" for="crossField"/></rich:graphValidator> </rich:graphValidator>

Rich miscellaneous● <rich:componentControl>● <rich:hashParam>● <rich:jQuery>

<rich:componentControl> ● Allows to call JS API on a component in declarative fashion<h:outputLink id="openLink" value="#"> <h:outputLink id="openLink" value="#"> <h:outputText value="Open" /> <h:outputText value="Open" /> <rich:componentControl event="click" <rich:componentControl event="click" operation="show" operation="show" target="popup" /> target="popup" /></h:outputLink> </h:outputLink><rich:popupPanel id="popup"> <rich:popupPanel id="popup">... ...</rich:popupPanel> </rich:popupPanel>
