It has been a year now since ICEfaces was open sourced and the ICEfaces.org community was created. And what a year it has been! With over 370,000 product downloads and community enrollment approaching 25,000 developers, ICEfaces has quickly become the Java EE industry standard enterprise Ajax solution.
Genuitec, provider of the MyEclipse integrated development environment and a founding member of the Eclipse Foundation, announced a new partnership with ICEsoft Technologies.

Teach a man to fish and he'll never go hungry. Tell programmers that they'll have to go through any kind of a learning curve to reap the benefits of a new developer tool, however, and they'll just might leave it on the shelf. That's because all too often, new tools and paradigms create project delays. Fortunately, at ICEsoft they know that new tools and technologies have to be both easy to learn and easy to use, and that?s what you get in ICEfaces, their AJAX solution for Java EE.
As was hoped, the entry of ICEfaces into the open source market created a huge stir. Adoption of the ICEfaces platform exploded in terms of both users and influence. Users were attracted across the board, from dozens of industries and thousands of mid- to large-scale enterprises. Three out of four users downloaded ICEfaces for the purpose of creating new JSF applications, reflecting the fast-growing nature of AJAX as well as the appeal of ICEfaces to Java developers. Initial production rollouts of applications using ICEfaces started to occur within weeks of launch.
The iPhone is a very impressive piece of engineering; and even more impressive is that it's great for running ICEfaces Ajax applications, including the use of Ajax Push. All of the ICEfaces sample applications work, including a mobile chat page created specifically for mobile devices. Read Ted's blog for more information.

ICEsoft's ICEfaces framework provides a way to Ajax-enable standard JavaServer Faces (JSF) applications without writing custom client-side Javascript code. This is a short introduction to using the ICEfaces tooling add-on for BEA WebLogic Workshop. This tutorial covers installing the ICEfaces tooling, creating an ICEfaces-enabled project, and using ICEfaces and JSF to easily create an Ajax-enabled application to display and enter data. Because ICEfaces is adding Ajax capabilities to the regular JSF programming model, it is assumed that you have some familiarity with JSF.
ICEfaces 1.6.0 offers complete integration with JBoss Seam 1.2.1 GA. Other notable fixes and enhancements included in ICEfaces 1.6.0 are; Integration with Liferay Portal, Enterprise Production Suite (EPS) has been open sourced, support for JSF 1.2, early integration with Spring Web Flow and much, much more.
Developing enterprise AJAX applications can raise security concerns. By applying server-centric approaches that leverage the inherent security of Java and JavaServer Faces, you can deliver AJAX-enriched presentation to the client, but restrict the client's role to just that - presentation.
Featuring improved Integration with NetBeans Visual Web Pack (VWP), Jetty WebServer, JBoss Seam, and Improved Application Error Handling and Reporting.
