Book Review: JSF 1.2 Components

Some time ago, I was given a copy of JSF 1.2 Components by Ian Hlavats and asked if I’d write a review for it. It’s long overdue, but here are my thoughts on this book.

New Components in Mojarra Scales: Part IV – sc:combo

Yesterday brought us Part III in our look at some new components in Mojarra Scales. Today, Part IV brings us sc:combo, combination, if you can imagine that, of a h:selectOneMenu and h:inputText.

New Components in Mojarra Scales: Part III – sc:imageZoomer and sc:lightbox

In Part II of this series, I introduced the new auto complete component in Mojarra Scales. In this installment, we’ll take a look at two new closely related components, sc:imageZoomer and sc:lightbox.

New Components in Mojarra Scales: Part I – sc:dataTable

The migration of Mojarra Scales to JSF 2, adding new components has become much easier due to JSF 2′s new composite component feature.

Late last night, I published Mojarra Scales 1.3.2. This is mostly a bug and performance fix, but here are some highlights from the release: <sc:links /> (and related supporting classes and components) was modified to allow files only from /scales to fix a pretty glaring security hole in some scenarios When multiple, local requests for [...]

Mojarra Scales 1.3.1 Has Been Released

Early this morning, I published Mojarra Scales 1.3.1. I’ve been remiss in making good updates where when I make release, so, rather than creating a new post for each release long after the fact, I’ll try to being everyone up to the current state in just one.

The GlassFish webinar series is, I think, a pretty valuable resource for regular readers of my blog, as it covers a lot of topics that I cover here. Today’s webinar, “From Ajax Push to JSF 2.0: ICEfaces on GlassFish,” is particularly relevant, as it’s a JSF-related session. Here’s the abstract: Ted will provide details on [...]
