It's seems lots of vcp components are lost!

Compare to richfaces 2.0...
A lot of components are lost::::
dialog window(not model window), panel menu, menu, calendar, speedometer, debug components, header components...

And the skin seems not as beauty as richfaces 2.0....

Is there any plan to do this???

[sergeysmirnov]

for starter, what new components are added:

rich:dataTable
rich:subTable
rich:column
rich:columnGroup
rich:dataDefinitionList
rich:dataFilterSlider
rich:dataGrid
rich:dataList
rich:dataOrderedList
rich:datascroller
rich:dragIndicator
rich:gmap
rich:modalPanel
rich:simpleTogglePanel
rich:tree

Technically, we have created the 3.0 set using our new Component Factory (Ajax4jsf Component Development Kit). It was not so much different what to do - new component or re-factor the old one. On the priority bases, some of the old components are moved to the next release or removed

To your list:
dialog window was based on the iframe and has it own conversation context. So, it has to be re-factored to be flexible. For example, to use Seam Conversation context

panel menu, menu, calendar need to be refactoring toward improving their models

speedometer. Such component should developed as a complete set of industrial-like components.

debug components. a4j:log from ajax4jsf core library has the similar behavior. We have a plan to have more sophisticated client-side monitor of the server-side data.

header components. Ie. h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6. As soon as facelets as well as jsf 1.2 allow to use just pure html h1-h6, those header components just do not make any sense

Thank you very much, SergeySmirnov:
It's a good message.
Hope richfaces become stronger and stronger!
And hope can see the next release soon. ^_^

Hi
What about the skin issue? will it be possible to customize the skin as in v 2.0?
We are especially missing the round corner option:

panelRadiusCorner=10px

[sergeysmirnov]

In general, the skins are expendable. You can create your own skin and have what even parameters you want there.

We refused the idea to have a cornered panels, because the components with heavy layout are killers for Ajax (the traffic issue).
I also wrote about it here:
