ICEfusion - ICEfaces on AppFuse

[rainwebs]

I've started a new project that tries to combine ICEfaces with the AppFuse JSF Basic Archetype:

http://icefusion.googlecode.com/

The code is developed during writing an ICEfaces book and used as a code base for the book samples.

Latest Release: 1.0-SNAPSHOT (3):

* Multi-lingual support
* Static and dynamic menu creation and all necessary action management
* Bugfixes

For those using JSF, I encourage you to take a look at this project.
If you like what you see, I'd be fine with replacing the JSF version
of AppFuse with the ICEfaces version.

The book is right before print. I updated ICEfusion (http://icefusion.googlecode.com/) and ICEcube (http://icecube-on-icefusion.googlecode.com/), the examples project based on ICEfusion, is also online. ICEcube is the official source code of my book "ICEfaces 1.8: Next Generation Enterprise Web Development" (http://blog.rainer.eschen.name/icefaces/)

Thanks Rainer!

What are your thoughts about replacing the default AppFuse JSF version with ICEfusion?

What about others - would you like to see a more feature-rich JSF framework out of the box, or do you prefer AppFuse's bare-bones mentality that allows you to use your preferred JSF framework?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

I got the stuff running, but the maintenance of the current implementation is not what I expected. I tried to keep as much as possible of AppFuse 2.0.2 to use all the magic that is done by Maven in the background. But, for the book examples there was too much stuff in it. Maybe I took the wrong AppFuse distribution code finally. For example, you still get xfire exceptions. I had to skip the security part because my extensions didn't work like expected with it.

I've to admit that I did not study all the AppFuse details because of limitation in time. It seems to me that it would be a good idea to have the possibility to choose what should be part of the stack. I didn't use Web Services in my examples - so xfire was useless to me.

ICEfaces and also RichFaces should be part of AppFuse - and selectable. Although, the Maven archetypes are pretty nice I think it would be more useful to have a generator (Spring has one) that I can tell what I want to combine, before a corresponding archetype / or Maven project is generated. Maybe we can have a core for persistence and the upper layers are selectable.

Meanwhile, there are other full stacks in Open Source, like the edoras framework, that are advanced in ICEfaces integration. I will have a deeper look at edoras when the 1.3 release is available.

ICEfusion and also ICEcube are written independent from the AppFuse stack. I only need some links in the web.xml to get a Spring and JSF bridging. Because of this I plan to port the code to other fullstacks. This will also help to port it to the new AppFuse, if it will supports ICEfaces.

You can study my implementation to get inspirations for the new AppFuse release. But I don't recommend to use my code as a base implementation.

Maybe this helps a bit.
