Rich Faces Multiple Window environment

[jcharnet]

Hello,

I'd like to know if it is possible to use JBoss Rich Faces  to work with an application that needs to have multiple windows opened as a functionality.

Like a client/server model of UI.

Each functionality (selected from the menu) appears as a window (with it's own control, minimize, maximize and close), and all the UI components for that functionality will be in that window. It should be able to open more that one window, and navigate back and forth on the opened windows.

Does anybody know if it's possible ?

Thanks a lot.

Sincerely,

John

Fortunately, JSF has the capability of using many components from different providers. For dialog I would recommend these:

Primefaces Dialog: http://www.primefaces.org:8080/prime-showcase/ui/dialog.jsf (I have been using this almost a year and works very well with Richfaces together).

Openfaces Window: http://www.openfaces.org/documentation/developersGuide/window.html (I haven't used this but seems good component, although it seems you cannot customize controls and have to put these components betweeen h:form).

Hope these helps.

Hi Juan. Thanks for the response. I had already looked at primefaces. Openfaces Window, I did not know.

Do you have any examples in integrating primefaces with richfaces ? Can I mix two different jsf components on a same jsf page ? What will happen with jsf lifecycle ?

Thanks a lot for your response.

Sincerely,

John
