Javalobby: JavaOne Day 2 Special Report 2005
Tuesday, June 28, 2005
Report filed by Rick Ross, founder of Javalobby

"The coolest thing I have seen at JavaOne 2005 is ICEfaces from ICEsoft. This product is a standard extension to JavaServer Faces that provides rich user interaction without the hassle of most of the AJAX kits I have seen. They have taken a really intriguing approach by injecting changes directly into the DOM tree structure of your web page, which pretty much allows them to isolate you from the need to do a lot of Javascript programming. You get all the benefits of an AJAX user interface, but you don't have to hassle with tricky, browser-dependent script code that may be harder to debug than your actual Java. ICE faces is basically a RenderKit for JSF that you can get started with quickly. I know I said everything is available right now just a moment ago, but ICEfaces Direct-to-DOM technology is still prelimary. You can, however, download it right now for free from ICEsoft's web site, and I will certainly be doing so as soon as I get a few moments free."
