Using jQuery with Seam

If you are using RichFaces with your Seam application then jQuery is already there and ready to use. The only thing to remember is to use jQuery() function to refer to jQuery rather than using $(). $() is used to refer to prototype.js functions which RichFaces uses heavily.

Below is an example you can use to test jQuery. This should pop up a box on your page.

<script type="text/javascript" >
  jQuery(document).ready(function() {
      alert("hello seam: " + jQuery(window).height());
  });
</script >

RichFaces Webinar Series

Recently Exadel had a 4 part webinar series on RichFaces. I attended most of them and thought they were pretty good. The series was pretty simple but did a good job highlighting RichFaces features. Definitely worth checking out.

Today JBoss announced a new RichFaces in Production wiki page. It looks like it will be pretty helpful when trying to find information on RichFaces. Be sure and check it out.

Welcome to the wiki for the RichFaces project! This is a general ad hoc collection of information resources about RichFaces. Users are encouraged to donate meaningful documentation and information (like tips and tricks). Material on this wiki can be migrated to be part of the more formal documentation over time.
