RichFaces is a JSF-based framework of GUI components that can easily be integrated into web applications, allowing rich user interfaces to be built up easily. RichFaces provides AJAX support for these components without the need for the developer to write JavaScript. RichFaces also provides skinning support, allowing the look and feel of RichFaces components to be quickly changed via a single configuration setting. All of this functionality is, of course, provided in a cross platform manner and works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
RichFaces comes bundled with each Seam release, so if you are developing Seam applications and wish to use RichFaces, there are no additional downloads needed. Sometimes, however, RichFaces is updated outside of the release schedule for Seam. So newer versions of RichFaces may be available, other than those supplied with Seam. In such a case, RichFaces can be downloaded from http://www.jboss.org/jbossrichfaces...
