ICEfaces is…
Easy Ajax for Java developers
ICEfaces is an Ajax framework that allows developers to easily create rich Internet applications (RIA) in pure Java.
• Open source
• Standards-based
• Extends JavaServer Faces
• Develop rich Web Applications in pure Java, not JavaScript
• Integrated with GlassFish and Friends– Provides NetBeans IDE Plugin
• Endorsed migration for Woodstock users
– Supports Ajax Push applications via Grizzly
– Leverages enterprise capabilities of GlassFish• Security, Scalability: Clustering, Load Balancing and Failover
– Integrates with 3rd Party frameworks and middleware• WebSpace, WebStack

What is Ajax Push For?
• Distance learning• Collaborative authoring• Auctions• Shared WebDAV filesystem• Blogging and reader comments• SIP-coordinated mobile applications• Hybrid chat/email/discussion forums• Customer assistance on sales/support pages• Multi-step business process made collaborative• Shared trip planner or restaurant selector with maps• Shared calendar, “to do” list, project plan• Games• Enterprise shared record locking and negotiation

Ajax Programming, Ideally.
public class PageBean { String message;
public String getMessage() { return message; }
public void setMessage(String message) { this.message = message; }
}
<f:view xmlns:f=“http://java.sun.com/jsf/core” xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html“ >
<html> <body> <h:form> <h:inputText value=“#{pageBean.message}” /> </h:form> </body> </html>
</f:view>

Asynchronously and elsewhere in the application ...
To keep track of groups of users:
SessionRenderer.addCurrentSession(“GlassFishTV”);

Ajax Push Techniques
• Poll– send a request to the server
at some interval– response is “empty” if there is
no update
• Http Streaming– send a request and wait for
response– write “endless” response in
chunks
• Long Poll – send a request to the server
and wait for response– indistinguishable from “slow”

• Automatic Ajax updates
• No JavaScript Development
• Easy Ajax Component Suite
– No JavaScript component wiring
– No manually defined update regions
• Ajax transport handled by ICEfaces
• Woodstock conversion: utilities and compatible components
• ---
– Asynchronous application-driven browser updates
– All 50+ components are Ajax Push aware
Ajax Components with ICEfaces
www.icefaces.org
A Thread for Every Client?
• Blocking requests with Servlet 2.5 consumes threads
• GlassFish/Grizzly, Tomcat 6, Jetty, and Servlet 3.0 provide asynchronous request processing
• Many connections handled with a small thread pool
www.icefaces.org
GlassFishSuspend with Grizzly.
CometContext context = CometEngine.getEngine().register(contextPath); context.setExpirationDelay(20 * 1000); SuspendableHandler handler = new SuspendableHandler(); handler.attach(response); cometContext.addCometHandler(handler);
class SuspendableHandler implements CometHandler { public void onEvent(CometEvent event) { response.getWriter().println(event.attachment()); cometContext.resumeCometHandler(this);}
presentation.setSlide(7);cometContext.notify(message);

Security for Ajax Push
• Build security in layers– Java– JavaServer Faces– SSL
• Script injection– JavaScript– SQL
• Cross-site request forgery• Cross-site scripting
www.icefaces.org
Custom Components (JSF 1.2)
• Implement MyComponent.java extending UIInput
• Implement MyComponentRenderer.java
• Implement MyComponentTag.java
• Add component and renderer to faces-config.xml
• Add MyComponentTag to TLD
www.icefaces.org
Facelets in JSF 2
• Facelets now part of JSF standard
• Also know as the Page Declaration Language (PDL)
• First non-JSP PDL designed for JSF
• Some differences from JSP:– Pages compiled to abstract structure
– Builds JSF component view when executed
– Don't need TLD for tag attributes
– Page templating
• Opens the door for easier component development
www.icefaces.org
Custom Components in JSF 2
• Components built via markup templates
• Also known as composite components
• Composite Component: any Facelet markup file that resides in a resource library
• Custom components can also be developed in Java as per JSF 1.2

Ajax in JSF 2
• Standard JavaScript API– jsf.ajax.request, jsf.ajax.response– jsf.ajax.addOnError, jsf.ajax.addOnEvent– jsf.getProjectStage, jsf.getViewState
• Standard Response Format– XML based– “instruction set” for:
– updating DOM, attribute changes, script execution– inserting into DOM, deleting DOM nodes, extensions
• Standard Subtree Execution and Rendering– frameworks may also plug in their own traversal strategy
• Declarative Ajax (f:ajax)• Net result is Ajax component interoperability
www.icefaces.org
Enhancements in JSF 2
• System Events– Represent specific points in time for a JSF application– For example, listen for:
– when a component was added to parent– when a component is about to be rendered
– Listeners implement javax.faces.event.SystemEventListener
• “view” scope– allows attributes to be associated with a view– attributes persist until a new view is navigated to– can be accessed via EL (like request or session)
• Annotations– An alternative to XML configuration– @FacesComponent, @FacesConverter, @ManagedBean– @RequestScoped, @SessionScoped, @ApplicationScoped
www.icefaces.org
Enhancements in JSF 2
• Resources– Facility for serving resources (CSS, JavaScript, images, etc..)– Can be packaged under web application
– Under “resources” directory– Or into classpath under META-INF/resources
– Typically reside in libraries– Resources can be versioned
• Exceptions– Exception handling facility allows queuing of exceptions– Also leverages System Event facility– publish ExceptionEvent(s); subscribe to ExceptionEvent(s)

SummaryThe Asynchronous Web Revolution is Now
• Ajax Push will revolutionize human interaction
• Ajax Push is the key to enterprise collaboration for the Web
• JSF 2.0 is the language for developing web applications
• Ajax Push can scale on GlassFish with Asynchronous Request Processing
• ICEfaces provides the high-level capabilities for enterprise collaboration features in your application
