New tools make it easier for you to develop Ajax applications in the Faces framework. New Ajax components include:
You can now design pages that use only standard JavaServer Faces tags and features. In the standard JSF mode, the IBM components are not used.
You can now take advantage of many new JSF components, including the following components:
Third party JSF tags are now recognized by Properties view and JSF Validator. The tools attempt to render their appearance at run time.
You can now create pages with templates applied dynamically on the server. You create the template and instance pages with wizards, and you edit the content areas in the editor.
As you work in the Web Diagram Editor, the editor now keeps your Web application artifacts (Web pages, configuration files, etc.) synchronized with your Web Diagram.
The Web Diagram Editor now displays some of the significant internal structure of the nodes. For example, a Web page now now shows the links that it contains and the data that it accesses.
