Infragistics NetAdvantage for JSF について

ツリー、グリッド、メニュー、タブ、入力の各コントロールをJavaServer Faces (JSF)アプリケーションに追加

NetAdvantage for JSF is a set of rich, easily-styled AJAX Web UI components. The components include tree, grid, menu, tab, and numerous input controls. The core of the framework is AJAX-enabled and UI element-based for styling simplicity. You can quickly and easily deliver a polished, professional look and feel your users expect. Use the built-in UI styles simply by instantiating the components in your Web applications. The components deliver high performance and seamless data transfers to and from your end users. Leveraging AJAX technology with the convenience of effortless application styling, the collection of JavaServer Faces (JSF) components included with NetAdvantage for JSF ensures a great user experience.

NetAdvantage for JSF Key Features:

  • AJAX Integration:No code AJAX: AJAX is transparently integrated into NetAdvantage to allow code-free component updates without a full page submission. (This means developers don’t need to know how to code AJAX, it’s turned on by default.) This integration also enables NetAdvantage to “play well” with other products that follow the AJAX specifications.
  • Input Components: NetAdvantage’s input components extend those available in the JSF core tag libraries. We include a calendar, several numeric types, email and regular expression entry.
  • Trees: Tree structures can be tedious to code, NetAdvantage provides a bean-driven component which removes any need for dealing with the details of correctly rendering a tree in HTML.
  • 2D and 3D Charting: NetAdvantage creates 2D and 3D charts in real time.
  • Web Styling: A single entry in the web.xml file controls all styling across your application. NetAdvantage ships with over a dozen attractive styles, each of which is modifiable to your application’s needs.
  • Data Binding: Data is bound to NetAdvantage components via standard JSF Expression Language statements.  This means that your components can be bound to any Java Bean that’s been placed in the application, whether the bean is managed by Java Server Faces or not.
  • Plug-in for IBM’s RAD 7: NetAdvantage is integrated with RAD 7 as a plug-in.
  • Plug-in for Net Beans:  NetAdvantage is integrated with NetBeans as a plug-in.

Components Included:

WebTree performs very much like a desktop tree component. Eliminate postbacks, reduce network traffic and deliver top-notch performance – all as a result of the Smart Refresh technology built into the core of WebTree. Your users may not realize they are using a Web application.

Be Ready to Handle Large Amounts of Data - As with WebGrid, WebTree has also been designed from the ground up to efficiently handle large amounts of data found in many data-driven Web-based applications. It's fueled with Smart Refresh and Smart Data Binding. The built-in AJAX engine makes WebTree a highly scalable, high-performance tree component.

Automatic Paging - AJAX-Enabled - WebTree automatically displays and handles the First, Previous, Next, and Last buttons. Simply set one property to specify the number of tree nodes you want your users to page through in a click, and WebTree does the work. For additional programming convenience, the pager will automatically display if the tree has more nodes than is specified in the page size. Furthermore, it leverages Smart Refresh technology (automatically performs AJAX requests behind the scenes), eliminating postbacks, reducing network traffic and delivering high-performance Web pages.

Fully-Customizable Look and Feel - Quickly and easily apply a polished, professional appearance to your application. Choose from the selection of professionally designed, built-in styles, or you can further customize the look you want down to every detail. WebTree allows you to easily style the tree itself, tree nodes (default, hover, and selected nodes), or you can individually style nodes at the node level. Icons can be displayed and/or overridden for the collapsed and expanded node states.

Section 508 Accessibility - Built-in full keyboard support, so your applications can satisfy the requirements of Section 508 quickly and easily.

WebGrid is a  highly functional, AJAX-enabled table that allows you to display your data in the style and manner that best fits your needs. WebGrid provides the following funtionality:

Automatic Sorting - Built-in automatic sorting in WebGrid simplifies your work - just set a flag to tell WebGrid if you want to sort on a column and you’re done. WebGrid automatically sends AJAX requests based upon the capabilities of the client browser for a rich, responsive user experience.

High Performance - WebGrid has been designed from the ground up to handle the load of your most demanding data-driven Web-based applications. It's fueled with Smart Refresh and Smart Data Binding, making it a highly scalable and high-performance grid component.

Fully Customizable Look and Feel - You can customize the look you want down to every detail because WebGrid is built on the AJAX-and UIElement based framework. A UI element is any granular element of the WebGrid component, such as a row, column, hover, select column, etc. Every UIElement can be styled with your CSS styles, or you can choose from the many styles included.

Bound and Unbound Mode - Based on a Model Viewer Controller architecture, WebGrid (and all of the bound components) supports binding to a JSF DataModel, and can therefore be bound to Java arrays, Java Lists, ResultSets or JavaBeans. Simply set WebGrid for bound or unbound data rendering.

WebMenu supports features such as checkmarks, grouped menu items, a rich object model and much more, to allow you to design the most advanced navigation systems.

Fully Customizable Look and Feel - You can customize the look you want down to every detail. WebMenu provides you with easy access to style each element, such as a menu, menu item (default and hover appearance), etc.

Bound and Unbound Mode - Based on a Model Viewer Controller architecture, WebMenu (and all of the bound components) supports binding to a JSF DataModel, and can therefore be bound to Java arrays, Java Lists, ResultSets or JavaBeans. Simply set WebMenu for bound or unbound data rendering.

Section 508 Accessibility - Built-in full keyboard support, so your applications can satisfy the requirements of Section 508 quickly and easily.

WebTab leverages Smart Refresh technology (automatically performs AJAX requests behind the scenes), eliminating postbacks, reducing network traffic and delivering high performance Web pages. Transparently and automatically end AJAX requests to fetch TabItems on demand.

Fully Customizable Look and Feel - Choose to apply a professionally designed style provided with WebTab to create the appearance of your application quickly, or you can further customize the look you want down to every detail. WebTab provides you with easy access to style the TabView, TabItems, and Hover or Selected TabItems.

Nested TabView - WebTab fully supports a nested TabView, providing the capability to display tabs within tabs, for the most complex configurations your application may require.

Scrollable TabItems - Easily and automatically display scrollbars in your TabItems.

  • CheckBox
  • CheckboxList
  • DropdownList
  • DateChooser
  • InputEmail
  • InputNumber
  • InputRegularExpression
  • RadioButton
