Which faces technology for use with GlassFish 2.1 and NetBeans 6.7?
- by SteJav
I'm running GlassFish 2.1 and using NetBeans 6.7. I'd like to create a web interface to my data using JSF 1.2. Trouble is, I'm not sure which 'faces' technology to learn (that includes some good documentation). JBoss/RichFaces seem pretty good on documentation, but I'm using GlassFish.
Any thoughts? The choices appear overwhelming:
Tomahawk
Tobago
Trinidad
ICEfaces
RCFaces
Netadvantage
WebGalileoFaces
QuipuKit
BluePrints
Woodstock
JBoss RichFaces
Ajax4jsf
ILOG
Oracle ADF
G4JSF
Simplica
Backbase
jenia4faces
VisualWebPack
DynaFaces
IBM Impl
Dinamica
Mojarra
PrimeFaces
jQuery
OpenFaces
ZK
ExtJS
Anybody had any experience with any of the above and found the documentation to be clear to a beginner? Being a JSF/Web beginner, I tried some ICEFaces, Mojarra tutorials and had a go at getting RichFaces working with NBeans and GlassFish, but no luck. Lots of XML complaints. I'm clearly missing some huge chunks of configuration, but I can't find any documentation to help me.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated :-)
