Have you ever wanted to create a rich web application? One that looks and acts like a desktop thick application,
yet runs totally in the browser using html and JavaScript. The problem is you don.t want to get your hands dirty with
JavaScript. Well, there is a solution. It.s called ICEFaces.
ICEFaces has a complete set of rich Ajax enabled JSF controls. Each control also allows you to specify a .Server push.
capability that is basically a process on the server that keeps track of objects for you. If any of those objects member
variables happen to change, for example an event callback that updates an object, the server push process automatically packages
up the data that has changed and ships it off to your web client using the DOM object which then gets updated in place without a
page refresh. Bingo, you have a super rich web app that will dazzle your users and will make you happy because all the heavy
lifting is encapsulated!
