2. Re: Conversion of an application that uses IBM JSF to RichFaces implementation?
kokliang Nov 3, 2011 5:09 AM (in response to lyarham1)Hi all,
Has anyone converted IBM JSF to RichFaces before? For example, the following IBM JSF components:
hx:scriptCollector
hx:commandExButton
hx:inputHelperSetFocus
hx:sortHeader
hx:commandExRowAction
hx:panelBox
hx:pagerDeluxe
hx:dataTableEx
hx:columnEx
hx:convertDateTime
hx:inputHelperDatePicker
hx:convertNumber
hx:inputHelperAssist
hx:graphicImageEx
hx:inputHelpSpinner
hx:inputRowSelect
hx:outputSelectMenu
hx:fileUpload
hx:fileProp
hx:panelRowCategory
odc:tabbedPanel
odc:bfPanel
hxx:dataTableEx
What is the corresponding counterpart in RichFaces?

lyarham1 Nov 3, 2011 5:26 AM (in response to kokliang)Hi there,
From my attempts to perform a similar conversion, I'd not found any coreresponding components within RichFaces to match these - although I have not performed an extensive search. I actually had to stop the conversion because I was finding that I had to rewrite behaviour of pages to use the RichFaces implementation - too much effort and risk being involved.
What I did find for some is that there are workarounds - for example scriptcollector - if you're using page load begin events, then these would need to be recoded as a javascript function that runs when the page is loaded into the browser - running an Ajax style query back to the server for example to fetch data. Otherwise, I had to change the page flow to avoid this type of workaround.
If I gain further information I'll happily share it. From research, it doesn't look as though this type of conversion is performed much at all.
Kind regards
