Developing Ajax-based Java applications

ABSTRACT:

This Tech Talk provides an overview of the ICEfaces framework, which is designed to add AJAX to JSF based on a technology called Direct-to-DOM Rendering. This approach allows a web application to be rendered entirely on the server side. The browser essentially acts as a remote control to a server-side rendering of the DOM – making the AJAX capabilities transparent to the developer. Developers can work in a pure JSF programming model, have no exposure to JavaScript development or any of the low-level intricacies of AJAX and still get the full rich web capability.
