| <h4>What do you do at ICEsoft?</h4> |
| I'm a senior architect on ICEfaces. |
| <br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>As a partner, how has your company contributed to the NetBeans |
| Project?</h4> |
| ICEsoft has contributed to NetBeans by providing modules |
| for easily working with ICEfaces applications within |
| the IDE. One module supports the developer at the |
| project level by automatically configuring the Servlets |
| in the application for the Ajax features of ICEfaces. |
| Another module supports the developer at the design level |
| by providing drag-and-drop design with ICEfaces components |
| with the Visual Web Pack. We're also working on integrating |
| ICEfaces seam-gen capabilities with Petr Pisl's Seam |
| Integration module. <br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>Please tell us about your NetBeans Day Presentation.</h4> |
| The theme of talk is how using an IDE, |
| specifically NetBeans, makes it easy to develop Ajax applications. |
| There are a variety of ways to do this with NetBeans, and it's very |
| effective for that. We'll also explain the technique for making |
| multi-user applications called Ajax Push and say a few things |
| every Ajax developer needs to know about security.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>Why is your session important for developers?</h4> |
| Ajax applications are tedious to develop by hand, but by combining |
| NetBeans with current Ajax frameworks such as DynaFaces, jMaki, and |
| ICEfaces, you can develop Ajax and Ajax Push applications very |
| effectively.<br> |
| <br> |
| It's exciting because Ajax is the new way to develop applications on |
| the web, and users are expecting Ajax capabilities more and more. By |
| attending |
| this talk, developers will see how they can easily develop Ajax |
| applications |
| within the Java standards.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>Is there a main message you want developers to get from |
| your session?</h4> |
| Ajax and Ajax Push applications can be readily developed using |
| DynaFaces, jMaki, or ICEfaces with the NetBeans IDE.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>Is this your first time holding a talk at NetBeans Day or JavaOne?<br> |
| </h4> |
| We presented in 2005, explaining the underlying Direct-to-DOM mechanism |
| used by the underlying Ajax technology ICEfaces. This session is quite |
| different, focusing on how developers can develop Ajax applications |
| themselves.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>What features do you enjoy working with in NetBeans?</h4> |
| Most interesting is the Visual Web PackĀintroduced by Creator, but |
| inconvenient because it was part of a non-mainstream IDE. Visual |
| Web Pack really fulfills |
| the promise of JSF by allowing developers to work with components in a |
| visual way.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>How does working in Java compare with other technologies?</h4> |
| Java is the most effective software platform. It promotes secure |
| software and promotes practices that allow developers to work together |
| as a team. JSF is easy to get started on when you see how well the |
| design and |
| development are separated with the beans and the pages.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>What are the benefits of your project to the community?</h4> |
| ICEfaces.org has a thriving community since ICEfaces is open source |
| under the Mozilla Public License. It lets people develop Ajax |
| applications with server-side rather than client side technologies |
| (clearly |
| important to the Java developer) entirely with open source.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>Are there any other messages you would like to highlight in this |
| interview?</h4> |
| Using NetBeans in combination with DynaFaces, jMaki, or ICEfaces you |
| can effectively develop Ajax and Ajax Push applications.<br> |
