Chapter 1 Creating Direct-to-DOM Renderers for Custom Components Tutorial

This tutorial guides you through a two-part tutorial that describes how to create Direct-to-DOM (D2D) custom renderers using ICEfaces. For more information on Direct-to-DOM rendering, refer to "Key Concepts" in the ICEfaces Developer's Guide.

Note: This is an advanced topic and we recommend that you only read this tutorial if you are building custom components or porting existing component renderers.

The files used in this tutorial are organized in the directory structure shown in Figure 1-1. Before starting this tutorial, we recommend that you read "ICEfaces Getting Started" in the ICEfaces Developer's Guide to ensure that ICEfaces is installed properly and that your environment is configured to deploy and execute ICEfaces applications on your J2EE application server.
