The RichFaces 4 conference road trip continues. It started with TheServerSide Java Symposium in Las Vegan in March. Then it was CONFESS_2011 in Vienna in April and JAX 2011 in Mainz in May. Now RichFaces 4 comes to JAX and JSF Summit in San Jose, CA June 20-23. I will be doing a general RichFaces 4 session as well as a full day RichFaces 4 workshop. Jay Balunas from Red Hat is doing another RichFaces session called: RichFaces 4.0 Component Deep Dive . If you are in the Bay Area, you don’t want to miss this conference.

Ajax Applications with JSF 2 and New RichFaces 4
Monday, June 21, 2011
RichFaces is a JSF framework with Ajax components, client-side validation, cloud deployment, skins, and a component development kit (CDK). This session will briefly cover JSF2 Ajax features and then the extra value the new RichFaces adds on top of JSF2 through its advanced features. Examples will include partial table updates, Ajax queues, client-side validation, GAE deployment, and skins.

RichFaces 4 workshop
Sunday, June 20, 2011
Attendees will learn everything they need to begin developing applications with JSF 2 and RichFaces. We will first start with basic Ajax features in JSF 2 such as sending an AJAX request, partial view rendering, partial view processing using the f:ajax tag. We will then move to the new RichFaces 4 and demonstrate advanced features, tags, customization and richness it adds on top of JSF 2. You will learn how the a4j:ajax extends the standard f:ajax tag as well as how to use other a4j: tags, rich: tags and skins in RichFaces. Hands-on example will be used to demonstrate most concepts and features. Workshop will cover: standard JSF 2 Ajax features (f:ajax), a4j: tags, rich: tags, client-side validation, cloud deployment, Skins.
