Infragistics Announces NetAdvantage for JSF 2009 Volume 1

Complete User Interface toolset enables developers to build robust Web 2.0 applications

Princeton, N.J. & Elstree, United Kingdom — March 16, 2009 — Infragistics, the world leader in user interface development tools and  experts in the User Experience (UX) market, announced today the immediate availability of Infragistics NetAdvantage® for JSF 2009 Volume 1, a complete set of User Interface (UI) components based on JavaServer™ Faces that enables developers to build robust Web 2.0 applications.

"Infragistics AJAX-enabled JSF components are pre-built, quality-tested components that leverage the power of the Java™ EE platform to help developers quickly and easily create compelling Java UIs,"  said Jim Cook, Java product manager at Infragistics. "We continue to build out an industry-leading JSF component toolset that combines customer feedback and recommendations matched to market trends."

With NetAdvantage for JSF 2009 Vol. 1, developers are freed from coding the entire interface layer and can focus on the business logic of their applications, significantly improving the application’s time-to-market. Developers can take advantage of a host of new features including:

• Client Side Object Model (CSOM) enables developers to more easily program components on the client-side (inside the user's browser) without going to the server.  CSOM improves performance, and makes the components more powerful because developers can add their own Javascript that will be processed when events take place.
• Enhanced WebGrid includes full export to CSV mode, locale-aware sorting (for globalization) and easier row selection.
• New Icon Functionality enables developers to Change WebBar™ Stackbar Group Icon based on the state of that Group.  It also provides an easy way to add different icons according to the state of the stackbarGroup component (expanded or collapsed).

NetAdvantage for JSF 2009 Volume 1 fully supports the JavaServer Faces 1.2 standard and can be deployed on the most popular frameworks.

NetAdvantage for JSF 2009 Volume 1 IDE design-time support includes Eclipse and IBM® Rational® Application Developer.  It runs on all major application servers including BEA® WebLogic™, IBM WebSphere®, Sun® ONE,  JBoss® and Apache Tomcat™.  It also supports AJAX in the portal environments of BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere and JBoss.

As with all Infragistics product offerings, and as requested by customers, source code is included in NetAdvantage for JSF 2009 Volume 1 and enables developers to modify or extend components on an as needed basis.  Additionally, Infragistics offers developer support to all subscribers. Training and consulting services on JSF and NetAdvantage for JSF are available to help its customers get up to speed quickly and start delivering applications without delay.
