Currently Being Moderated

We're glad to announce the first early access milestone of the new OpenFaces 3.0 version featuring JSF 2.0 compatibility. Now developers creating JSF 2.0 based applications have access to rich possibilities provided by all kinds of OpenFaces components, ranging from DataTable and TreeTable for flexible data display, to BorderLayoutPanel and Window for creating various layouts, and Validation framework for client-side validation and additional validators.

 

OpenFaces 3.0 will be maintained in parallel with OpenFaces 2.0 and both of them will have the same set of features, but they will target different versions of JSF: 2.0 and 1.2 respectively. The final release for the OpenFaces 3.0 version is expected in June.

 

You can download the new version and the demo package that runs on Tomcat and GlassFish v3 here (see the OpenFaces 3.0 Early Access 1 section).

 

As JSF 2.0 support is currently on an intermediate stage, some functionality is limited yet and there are the following known issues in OpenFaces 3.0 EA1:

- State saving during OpenFaces Ajax requests has some issues when using the built-in Ajax capabilities in certain OpenFaces components. Most notable consequences are: a) impossibility to use Ajax node folding in TreeTable, so only client-side node folding works fine yet, and b) DataTable paginator's "next" button which can't be used more than once.

- The CompositeFilter component doesn't work in this Early Access version.

 

Feel free to share your feedback and ask any questions on the product's forum. Stay up to date with the latest OpenFaces news by following us on Twitter.

Awesome!

 

But, the first release couldn't run a simple project, when will 3.0 have nightly builds?

 

Anyway, totally sold on OpenFaces, it will become the high-class JSF component of choice!

 

Dimitry is it possible to send you an e-mail?

Do you mean that you can't run a simple project with 3.0.PREVIEW or 3.0.EA1? Please provide the details on the problem that you're having (if you're still having it with 3.0.EA1) in a separate thread or e-mail. OpenFaces support e-mail is support@openfaces.org, and my e-mail is dmitry.pikhulya@teamdev.com.

P.S. We'll roll out 3.0 nightly builds in about a week or two.

Hi Guy,

 

I have  this problem in my aplication in Production  DataTable paginator's "next" button which can't be used more than once, What Do I Do, when do you release v3.0 PLEASEEE...!!
Jun 18, 2010 1:08 PM Dmitry Pikhulya Dmitry Pikhulya    says in response to Juanca:

We'll release an update soon where this is already fixed. Actually, this is already fixed in the latest nightly build though there's currently another unresolved issue (paginator itself not being updated).

Are you guys posting bug issues anywhere so that we can know the status of certain bugs and more importantly so that we can possibly help? Also does the on demand loading on the DayTable work in the current nightly?
Jun 30, 2010 12:27 PM Dmitry Pikhulya Dmitry Pikhulya    says in response to Ray White:

You can see the OpenFaces issue tracker where you can submit issues and track their status. For now, we don't post issues ourselves there though, but we'll consider doing it in the future. The on-demand loading for DayTable is already fixed and works in the current nightly build.
