I'm quite overloaded this week, so I won't have too much time to make a detailed answer :-(
>From my understanding G4JSF is dead and replaced by ajax4jsf, which is quite different. It makes no use of GWT. If you want a clean and powerful way of keeping state in a GWT/Jsf mixed appication , seam is really a nice answer. You can really use seam as a "glue" between facelets pages and GWT modules. Basicaly, seam provides "components" (beans in fact) , which can be used from GWT modules and from JSF pages. >From a facelet view, it's really easy to get values and call methods with EL. >From GWT, seam remoting enables the use of seam components instead of OOTB GWT services. I hope to get some tme to make a little example. It's not easy to extract a sample from my current project... I do agree that it's not easy to see the light in all these frameworks... but here is the solution I use.... I' don't know if it's the best, but well it works for me. We use EJB3 & Glassfish. 2008/12/14 will.dutt <will.d...@gmail.com> > > The jboss doc link gives heaps of food for thought. > > Just wondering, am i correct to say that G4JSF became ajax4jsf which > then became richfaces ? > > This kinda makes it quite confusing when i have jsf and gwt and no > idea what i can use to glue it together :P > > An example would be very helpful :) on the seam application, and maybe > on the other ways of pulling information. :) > > I have used spring in the past, tho not starting out and it already > had a very structured hierarchy and as i'm a fresh out of uni, and > this is mostly a green feilds type project, there is way to many > technologies to look at and yet not enough time in the day. :/ > > The jsf website that i'm now working on had a pre existing database > backend in oracle.
