             Summary: POC: Using JSF
                 Key: OFBIZ-9469
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9469
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: James Yong
            Priority: Minor


JavaServerFaces (JSF) can be used to build Rich Internet Applications which is suitable for business-facing part of an ERP system.

Some Advantages
==============
JSF is similar to OFBiz widget; both can use declarative XML UI. 
JSF can map directly to a backing bean and doesn't requires any request mapping.
JSF also allows the direct coding of HTML within the XML, while OFBiz widgets need to link to external FTL file.

I have done some initial work to add JSF capabilities for developers to evaluate its suitability further. It is also possible to render OFBiz Widgets (for reuse) and programmatically placed within JSF, but I haven't go into it yet.
