Apache MyFaces 1.1.1 Released

The Apache Software Foundation has recently released version 1.1.1 of its MyFaces Java Server Faces (JSF) implementation.

Apache MyFaces is a free open source implementation of JavaServer(tm) Faces, a web application framework, standardized by the Java Specification Request 127.

This release addresses over 60 defects, as well as some new features and improvements.

Some of the most notable new features are:

  • The ability to have JSCookMenu be a child component of a form.
  • A new component, <s:fieldset>, this component eases the creation of HTML fieldsets in the rendered HTML.
  • New attributes for <t:datatable>, rowStyleClass and rowStyle, these two attributes allow data specific styles for the rendered <tr> element.
  • The ability to specify layout width for HtmlSelectManyCheckbox rendering.

Here at Ensode.net, we wish to congratulate the MyFaces team on their latest release of their excellent JSF implementation, keep up the good work.

We encourage all Java EE/J2EE developers to give this release a try, we have used previous releases of MyFaces in some of our projects and have no hesitation recommending it for all of your JSF needs.
