ICEfaces Becoming Integral To Sun's RIA Technology Stack
« Woodstock To ICEface Migration Support Now Available | Main | Ajax Push - ZK versus ICEfaces »In the run-time space, ICEfaces has always maintained basic integration with Glassfish, but with the introduction of the Grizzly ARP mechanism we have gone way beyond the basics. ICEfaces is tightly integrated with Grizzly and delivers centralized Ajax Push capabilities to the Glassfish Server, making the deployment of scalable collaborative Web 2.0 applications a snap. And as the pioneers of Ajax Push for JSF, ICEfaces offers the most sophisticated solution available for asynchronous push-style web applications. The combination of ICEfaces and Glassfish/Grizzly is unparalleled in the industry.
On the development side, we have always strived to integrate with the Sun IDE of choice. Our efforts started with Java Studio Creator, and have continued with several releases of NetBeans, up to our current integration with NetBeans 6.5. Because Woodstock has been a primary consideration in the NetBeans JSF strategy, integrating ICEfaces into this model has been a major challenge, but we have succeeded in delivering both Visual JSF and Facelet support for ICEfaces in NetBeans.
With Sun's acknowledgment that they are discontinuing development of Woodstock, we are about the enter a new era of integration, with ICEfaces becoming a first-class citizen of the Sun stack. ICEfaces is the most natural replacement for Woodstock, and to that end we have begun to piece together a comprehensive migration strategy for Woodstock developers to move to ICEfaces. It starts with support for the coexistence of ICEfaces and Woodstock in the same web application, and will culminate with a variety of porting utilities that will partially automate the porting process. You can read all the details about what is available now and what you can expect to see in subsequent releases here.
With ICEfaces becoming integral to the Sun RIA solution, we are excited about the future integration that is possible. We envision an end-to-end solution for the development of rich collaborative web applications that are completely secure and scalable. Across the spectrum from run-time support to development tools, developer productivity will be enhanced and time to market for next-generation collaborative applications will be reduced. A good deal of this vision has already been realized, but given a tighter relationship with Sun we are in a position to accelerate our integration effort and get to the next level sooner. We are poised to deliver a solution that will be unrivaled in the industry, and that is pretty exciting to me. I will keep everyone posted as we progress.

auch weiterhin JSF/RichFaces wie gehabt vorantreiben. Man fragt sich aber schon ob JBoss mit JSF/Exadel/RichFaces so richtig glücklich ist. Auch bei Sun gab es im Dezember auch
