Hi,
I'm the creator of AjaxAnywhere (http://ajaxanywhere.sourceforge.net) , an
Apache 2 licensed solution for partial page refresh that turns any set of
existing JSP or JSF components into AJAX-aware components without complex
JavaScript coding. It also provides a default graceful fallback possibility
to keep the application operational with older browsers.
Since the latest release, AjaxAnywhere includes a pure JSF implementation
for a partial page refresh. Since this point, we consider the project
interesting enough for the JSF world.
Would you be interested in some kind of collaboration/partnership between
our projects? Today AA is able to integrate into MyFaces application without
changing its Renderers, however some JavaScript tricks are still required.
What do you think of discussing MyFaces + AjaxAnywhere integration
possibilities? Of course, AjaxAnywhere is able to coexist with other AJAX
solutions.
For example: It's difficult to support client state saving with partial page
refresh; a new component that indicates where to save state on the client
page would be helpful.
Another example: adding more events/hooks/callbacks to allow third party
components intercepting user clicks inside MyFaces components.
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks.
Vitaliy Shevchuk.
