Ques 1

What is RichFaces?

RichFaces is a JSF component library that consists of two main parts: AJAX enabled JSF components and the CDK (Component Development Kit). RichFaces UI components are   divided into two tag libraries a4j: and rich:. Both tag libraries offer out-of-the-box AJAX enabled JSF components. The CDK is a facility for creating, generating and testing you own rich JSF components.
  • A full set of AJAX enabled components in two libraries
    • a4j: page centric AJAX controls
    • rich: self contained, ready to use components
  • Client-side validation, expanding JSR 303 Bean Validation all the way to the browser.
  • Advanced queueing to match the high performance requirements of real world enterprise applications.
  • Push component upgrades including JavaMessaging Service (JMS) integrations, and various transport mechanisms based on browser support.
  • Our own Component Development Kit (CDK).
  • Comprehensive documentation covering development best practices, and component details.
  • Detailed and automated testing facilities for components, actions, listeners, and pages.
  • Broad cross-browser support
  • Large and active community at its foundation!!

Ques 5

What is a4j:commandLink in RichFaces?

The a4j:commandLink combines the standard h:commandLink with our own a4j:ajax. This not only reduces typing, but also inherits all a4j:ajax special options.
<a4j:commandLink value="#{constants.Label_DateUploaded}" action="#{handler.tableHeaderListener}" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="claimDocTable" onclick="loadClaimDocs()" styleClass="tableHeaderTxt" oncomplete="completeClaimRender()">
       <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{handler.sortField}" value="#{constants.Label_DateUploaded}"/>                                            
 </a4j:commandLink>
