Preface

PrimeFaces Extensions is a light-weight, community-driven component suite, built on top of the PrimeFaces library for the enhanced JSF 2.x applications. It provides newly created, advanced, and improved components along with useful converters, validators, utility functions, and Maven plugins to make web development easier. At the time of writing this book, the latest version of PrimeFaces Extensions was 1.2.1, which works very well with PrimeFaces 4.0 and the JSF 2.x libraries.

This book will guide you through the process of setting up, configuring, and applying the PrimeFaces Extensions components in your PrimeFaces-based applications. The components and its features are explained through sample use cases and practical examples from the web application in a step-by-step procedure. This is the first book written on the PrimeFaces Extensions technology to greatly extend your PrimeFaces applications. By the end of this book, you will be able to use the enhanced Extensions components in your PrimeFaces applications.
