FacesClient

One of the big problems with developing web application is creating good interactivity for the user without having to refresh the page. Using multiple technologies like AJAX it is possible to enhance this interaction but the work required for developers to achieve this is great. Therefore using the Model View Controller (MVC) concepts from Java Server Faces the FacesClient has been developed. IBM has an implementation of this JavaScript library and components and is available from their AlphaWorks site in the Emerging Technologies Toolkit (ETTK). If you would like to just have a read then below is a link to the FacesClient developer guide.
