For example, when I open a [JSF] page in a browser on mobile phone or tablet, I should 'not' have to zoom-in or zoom-out, but the page will be rendered appropriately on/per device. So, responsive != 'little data in presentation layer'. it is 'always' best to render as little data as possible in/on any device (mobile phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, etc...). why render 1,000s of rows of data on a page that is displayed on a laptop/desktop and force your users to continuously scroll up and down the page to view/modify the data? of course, on a mobile device, your HTTP response should be as small as possible, just in case the mobile device does not have a fast [internet] connection. when someone else asked this question in the primefaces forum, someone responded with twitter bootstrap. i looked at some of the demos [briefly], and bootstrap gave me the impression that pages 'can' look good on a mobile device without zooming in/out, and page can primarily be a page of any length, but fits/renders well on the mobile device without zooming in/out. since i have been a primefaces mobile user, i was not really impressed with twitter bootstrap. if you are good with html, css, javascript, jquery, etc..., then go for twitter bootstrap (or jquery mobile). if you want primefaces tags and less html/css, then go for primefaces mobile. > > This means some tricks like lazy loading, paging table data in database > [1], using autocomplete instead of lengthy select boxes, etc. > autocomplete on a mobile device can be tricky. i don't think anybody should have lengthy select boxes...even on desktop/laptops. > > I´ve started working with JSF using richfaces 2-3 years ago and now I am a > primefaces big fan.
