Practical RichFaces

In this definitive RichFaces 4 book, instead of using JBoss Tools, the author bases all examples on Maven so that any IDE can be used-whether it's NetBeans, Eclipse, JBoss or even Spring. 

Practical RichFaces also describes how to best take advantage of RichFaces-the integration of the Ajax4jsf and RichFaces libraries-to create flexible and powerful programs. Assuming some JSF background, it shows how you can radically reduce programming time and effort to create rich AJAX-based applications.
