Chapter 1. Introducing PrimeFaces Extensions

PrimeFaces is a leading lightweight, open source User Interface (UI) component library for web applications based on JavaServer Faces (JSF). It provides a set of more than 100 UI components with a single JAR that requires zero configuration and no dependencies. Just as JSF (the Apache MyFaces implementation) has some extension packages, PrimeFaces has also come up with a community-driven extension and a new components set called PrimeFaces Extensions. It is a community-driven open source library that has been founded by Thomas Andraschko and Oleg Varaksin. This project aims to be a lightweight and fast JSF 2 component library in addition to PrimeFaces. It contains various components that are neither available in PrimeFaces nor in any other JSF UI library.

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • An introduction to PrimeFaces Extensions and its features

  • Installing and configuring PrimeFaces Extensions

  • Creating a simple HelloWorld application using PrimeFaces Extensions

  • Working with PrimeFaces Extensions project resources

  • Community support and a showcase for PrimeFaces Extensions
