RichFaces - Open Source Rich JSF Components

Welcome to the Rich Faces - Ext JS Integration Demo!

#### About RichFaces

RichFaces is a rich component library for JavaServer Faces. It allows easy integration of AJAX capabilities into enterprise-level business application development.

RichFaces enriches the JSF framework in two important ways. First, it expands a number of visual ready-to-use components. Secondly, it fully implements the skinnability feature including a large number of predefined skins. Using skinnability, it is much easier to manage the look-and-feel of an application.

#### About Ext JS

Ext is a client-side, JavaScript framework for building web applications. In early 2006, Jack Slocum began working on a set of extension utilities for the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) library. These extensions were quickly organized into an independent library of code and distributed under the name "yui-ext." In the fall of 2006, Jack released version .33 of yui-ext, which turned out to be the final version of the code under that name (and under the open source BSD license). By the end of the year, the library had gained so much in popularity that the name was changed simply to Ext, a reflection of its maturity and independence as a framework. A company was formed in early 2007, and Ext is now dual-licensed under the LGPL and a commercial license. The library officially hit version 1.0 on April 1, 2007. Read ExtJS FAQ for more information about this library.
