Are there any JSF components for implementing breadcrumb navigation?
- by kazanaki
As far as I know there are two "kinds" of breadcrumbs.
The static/hierarchy one
Works like a stack
Entries are pushed when a user goes "deeper" into the site
Entries are poped when user goes "up" into the site
Is the same for all users (for a given page)
Shows location rather than history
A simple Example would be HOME - BIG CATEGORY - SMALL CATEGORY - ARTICLE
The dynamic/historical one
Works like a queue
Entries are pushed at the end when a user goes to another page
Entries are removed from the front when the maximum size is reached
Is different for each user, since it is personalized.
Shows timeline/history instead of location.
A simple example would be SMALL CATEGORY - HOME - BIG CATEGORY - HOME
The question is:
Are there any ready-made JSF component for these types of navigation?
