Event Driven Updates

Event Driven Updates (EDU) helps decoupling components of AJAX heavy JSF UIs.

EDU does so by allowing components to request being re-rendered/updated based on an event. An event in terms of EDU is just a name through which it can be referenced by a triggering component, e.g., configuration-changed.

Demo

There is an integration test based on Mojarra. It can be launched running the maven command mvn wildfly:run from within the module folder and viewed in a browser at http://localhost:8080/edu-it-mojarra.

Usage

For usage instructions see module edu.

Integration

In order to use EDU in a web application the edu.jar must be present on the classpath.

EDU has no transitive dependencies. It expects javax.javaee-web-api to be present on the class path.

Maven

Add the following dependency to the <dependencies> section of your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.encoway</groupId>
    <artifactId>edu</artifactId>
    <version>X.Y.Z</version>
</dependency>

Releases are hosted on Maven Central. Additionally releases and snapshots are hosted by Sonatype at https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public. In order to use snapshots make sure their repository is defined in the <repositories> section of your pom.xml:

<repository>  
    <id>Sonatype repository</id>  
    <name>Sonatype's Maven repository</name>  
    <url>http://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public</url>  
    <releases>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
    </releases>
    <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
    </snapshots>
</repository>
