richfaces and dojo

rooky Apr 5, 2007 9:19 AM

I am working on an application that uses ajax4jsf + richfaces, but there is a Dojo editable table component that I want to use. Since I am new to ajax, I am not sure if this is possible or recommended. Any ideas?
Thanks

You say you are new to ajax. How about JSF. Are you familiar with it?

I am new to jsf also, but I am familiar with the JSF lifecycle.

rooky, i've tried doing that, a4j, richfaces, and dojo. It's just too much hassle, getting the table's data back to your beans, and keeping track of the UI. Also the dojo table will not reRender with a4j (at least with JSF1.1), and you will have to reinitialize widgets via JS. My advice is, use the datatable that comes with richfaces, with a little work it can have the same functionality as the dojo widgets, and you wont have to do any hacking to get things working with each other.
