Serverside reported ADF to be donated to the Apache Software Foundation… can’t wait to have all those components availlable in MyFaces!
[from the announcement]
Why should J2EE / Web application developers care?
This is going to give a boost to the JavaServer Faces technology as well as the MyFaces project. The donated code comes with great functionality out of the box such as: file upload support, client-side validation, partial rendering of a page (AJAX-style), data tables, hierarchical tables, color/date pickers, progress indicators, menu tabs/buttons, internationalization and accessibility. This donation starts with more than 100 components which have already been thoroughly tested and come with high quality documentation.
