-----------------------------------
Hi [~mbrohl],
I wanted to do complex forms like the picture below.
Since JSF is also using declarative UI and has functions similar to OFBiz
Widget's decorator-screen & action tags, I think it may get better acceptance
from the developer community than using a purely javascript framework. Another
good thing is that there is no request/view mapping required for JSF.
I am also open to other alternatives to allow OFBiz to build forms that are on
par with other ERP system.
At the end of the day, I hope to focus more on contributing business-related
functionality rather than the UI framework.
Best Regards,
James

> POC: Using JSF
> --------------

> Key: OFBIZ-9469
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9469
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: James Yong
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: OFBIZ-9469.patch
>
>
> JavaServerFaces (JSF) can be used to build Rich Internet Applications which
> is suitable for business-facing part of an ERP system.
> Some Advantages
> ==============
> JSF is similar to OFBiz widget; both can use declarative XML UI.
> JSF can map directly to a backing bean and doesn't requires any request
> mapping.
> JSF also allows the direct coding of HTML within the XML, while OFBiz widgets
> need to link to external FTL file.
> I have done some initial work to add JSF capabilities for developers to
> evaluate its suitability further. It is also possible to render OFBiz Widgets
> (for reuse) and programmatically placed within JSF, but I haven't go into it
> yet.
