Using JSF and Flex components together

This session will demonstrate a simple way to use JSF and Flex components on the same page and application while binding them to the same data model (like JSF managed beans).

JSF and various rich component libraries enable the building of sleek and sophisticated AJAX-based RIA applications. To kick it up a notch, Flex components can be used to create a user experience beyond what the browser allows. Flex applications run inside a Flash player virtual machine plug-in and provide far richer experiences than the browser alone. However, using JSF components and Flex components on the same page is a challenge today without some "plumbing" layer underneath.
