Ajax4jsf extends JavaServer Faces to add AJAX capability to JSF applications without requiring the writing of any JavaScript.
On March 5, 2007, Red Hat and Exadel announced a strategic partnership to open source and bring Exadel's Ajax4jsf, RichFaces, and Studio Pro products to JBoss as JBoss Ajax4jsf, JBoss RichFaces, and Red Hat Developer Studio, respectively.
The Ajax4jsf framework is implemented using a component library that adds AJAX capability to your existing pages without having to write any JavaScript code or replace existing components with new AJAX widgets. Ajax4jsf also takes full advantage of the benefits of the JSF framework including lifecycle, validation, and conversion facilities, along with the management of static and dynamic resources.
Ajax4jsf differs from other AJAX approaches by enabling page-oriented AJAX support instead of the traditional component-oriented support. This means you can define an event in the page that invokes a particular AJAX request and then you can also define those areas of the page that need to be synchronized with the JSF Component Tree after this particular AJAX request is processed on the server.
