ICEfaces Components
RIAs are built from rich components. ICEfaces provides an industry-leading array of 125 rich JSF components from which to craft your user interfaces.
ACE Components
The all-new ACE* component library is entirely open-source and features over 40+ new components including a new industry-leading data table. The ACE components utilize a blend of server-side and client-based rendering techniques, and are fully optimized to leverage the advanced new capabilities of JSF 2. Refer to the ACE Component FAQ for more.
ICE Components
The ICE Components have been re-engineered to ensure ICEfaces 1.X compatibility providing easy migration of ICEfaces 1.x applications to JSF 2. In contrast to the ACE Components, the ICE Components predominantly leverage server-side rendering techniques providing superior performance on older web browsers with less efficient JavaScript engines.
EE Components
The Enterprise Edition Components are derived from the ICEfaces 1.8 EE Composite Components and have been upgraded to take advantage of the improved JSF 2.0 Facelet architecture. The EE components are commercial, and included in all ICEfaces EE Subscription.
* The ACE components are further supported by an Advanced Development Environment (ACE) of utilities, tools, and APIs, which enable developers to implement a consistent approach to component authoring, meta-data management, and automation and optimization of common component development tasks.
See the ACE and ICE components in action in the ICEfaces Showcase . A demo of the EE components is available here . More information on all the ICEfaces components is available on the ICEfaces wiki.
