Every trinidad component use partiial page refresh feature which is a basic ajax functionality. Single page apps whitout a one full page reload are possible in trinidad (I'm working on such a project). If You're looking for some cool looking components trinidad is not a good option. You have to skin components for You self, cos default trinidad skins are just ugly. Trinidad laks also some cool "ajax" components like context menu, dropDown menu, drag and drop support etc. If You want things like that rich faces are a far better option with some dhtml animation effects and build in JQuery support. And lastly if You are looking for something very cool looking full ajax web 2.0 bla bla bla go for ext http://extjs.com/ and incarnation of ext in gwt http://code.google.com/p/gwt-ext/ To sum it up trinidad is very mature and stable technology build on oracle adf faces code without a cool looking new age components and with ugly skins out of the box so u have to skin it for Your self to get something looking good. refards Tomek > > > About the skin: I don't know what it takes to build a skin.

Skining in trinidad is quite easy if you know the selectors for css in components found here: http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin-selectors.html Don't even touch skining withut ie developer toolbar or firebug, just in case when You don't know what css clasa is used in specified component html. > > ,chris > > > On Dec 28, 2007 10:47 AM, Matthias Wessendorf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > this question was already asked (in a similar way) in the past. > > Please check out: > > > > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02323.html > > > > > > > Maybe I mean Oracle ADF Faces.
