Can we use the richfaces taglib's alone instead of adopting the complete framework

Hi all,

Whether it is possible to use the tag libraries alone instead of adopting the complete framework?

Can you please help me ASAP.

Thanks and regards,

Sri

Hi Sri,

Most RF components refer framework API (resources, AJAX, etc.). Can you please clarify more on your question; what do mean by "adopting the complete framework" and what are you trying to avoid?

I mean instead of adopting the complete MVC, can we just use the richfaces taglib's in our view (JSP) ?

In my JSP I need to implement sortable column headers i.e the content of the table should get sorted when we click on the column header. I found that this feature can be implemented by using Richfaces, So I am wondering whether we can use the taglib's alone instead of completely adopting the MVC.

Also can you suggest how to implement this sortable column headers apart from using richfaces. I am a newbie and I am in great need of help.

Thanks,

Sri

JSP as in using JSF without facelets? I would strongly advise against this. And if you mean using the richfaces taglibs (which are in fact jsf components) without using JSF (the MVC) then then answer is unfortunately no.

Without JSF I would look at e.g. extjs or whatever similar framework
