Rich Internet Applications tools: JSF/RichFaces, Flex, and JavaFX
This session will cover three different technologies and delivery platforms for building Rich Internet Applications: JSF/RichFaces, Flex, and JavaFX. The pros and cons of each technology will be discussed.
JSF/RichFaces components allow one to easily and quickly build pure browser-based applications. Although JSF/RichFaces has proven itself at the enterprise level, two other technologies, Flex and JavaFX, are also on the radar for Rich Internet Applications. Flex is a framework for building applications that run inside a lightweight, powerful Flash player virtual machine, which installs as a plug-in into any browser. JavaFX is a new open-source, scripting language that runs inside the new, more lightweight, but still familiar, Java runtime environment. Technical examples will be shown.
