Neil Griffin

Neil recently finished working on the 2nd Edition of the JSF Complete Reference with Ed Burns in which he helped bring the book up-to-date for JSF 2.0 and contributed an Appendix on JSF Portlets and PortletFaces.
Presentations
Social Networking with ICEfaces and Liferay
This talk will demonstrate how easy it is to develop social networking portlets with ICEfaces and Liferay. Attendees will learn the fundamental techniques through code walkthroughs of ICE Friends and ICE Chat portlets, leveraging Facelets composite components and real-time status updates via Ajax Push.
Social networking is a natural addition to the portal, already a meeting place for applications. Diverse systems and users can be brought together for web-based communication and collaboration. When introduced to Ajax Push, portlets provide real-time communication features such as presence, chat, and new forms of application-specific interaction. Attendees will also learn about PortletFaces, a new open source project that enables a more JSF-centric approach to building portlets that use vendor-specific features of Liferay Portal.
