I think this would be a great idea. From what I've seen, the new trinidad ajax code would be the best place to start. On 8/3/07, Andrew Robinson < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Related to the email I just sent asking about A4J and Trinidad, I am wondering if there is an opening for a new MyFaces project. MyFaces has no standard AJAX support. Sandbox fairly recently got some ppr functionality and Trinidad has its own. It would be really nice to see one common library for AJAX for myfaces. The idea would be to have MyFaces AJAX. Then Trinidad, Tobago, Tomahawk (and sandbox), and any new component libraries could leverage this AJAX library. If done in a very abstracted way (interfaces, factories, etc.), this library could even be more like the commons logging project, meaning that it could use another technology under the hood just like commons logging supports log4j as well as java logging. The reason I'd love to see this is so that people could use a combination of MyFaces component libraries and have them all work together. There may even be room for using A4J or even ICEFaces under the hood if done right, so that all these libraries can be compatible. I know this is a tricky area and hard to solidify one API that we can agree on, but I think I would be a great step. It would be nice to be able, as a tomahawk committer to write controls that would be AJAX'd and work with Trinidad if someone wanted to use that library as well for example. If people think it is a good idea, we could start by moving code from Trinidad for example. Opinions? -Andrew -- Grant Smith
