This book illustrates how to use the RichFaces, a JSF component library that makes it easy to add Ajax to Java applications. JSF is the Java standard for component-based frameworks on the web, and libraries like this bring JSF's capabilities up to what users expect from modern web applications. The focus is on how to quickly use the RichFaces capabilities to radically change the look and responsiveness of application.
