The main goal was to take an out of the box Faces (formerly JSF) application (PrimeFaces Showcase) and run it in both a Java EE Server and in Quarkus. Some addition goals:
- See how much we can improve performance by incorporating various optimization tricks for JSF applications
- See if Quarkus is a viable option for Faces and migrating to Docker containers
- OpenJDK 17.0.5
- JBoss Wildfly 18.0.1
- Quarkus 2.16.3.Final
- JSF Production Mode
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @2.21 GHz 16GB RAM
- Apache MyFaces (Quarkus) instead of Jakarta Mojarra (Wildfly)
- PrimeFaces MOVE_SCRIPTS_TO_BOTTOM
- Quarkus Compression quarkus.http.enable-compression=true
- OmniFaces CombinedResourceHandler
- PrimeFaces Extensions CombinedResourceHandler Helper
- jQuery Hide Page Until Complete
The following client and server metrics were captured while hitting the exact same page /datatable/crud.xhtml
Using Incognito Mode and pressing CTRL+F5 so it forced the browser to load all resources from the server with nothing cached.

To run the example in Dev mode:
git clone https://github.com/melloware/quarkus-faces
cd quarkus-faces
mvn quarkus:dev
Then open your web browser to http://localhost:8081/
To run the example in HotSpot Production mode:
git clone https://github.com/melloware/quarkus-faces
cd quarkus-faces
mvn clean package
java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar
Then open your web browser to http://localhost:8081/
Builds a Docker image running as a standard JVM application.
mvn clean package -Ddocker
docker run -i --rm -p 8081:8081 melloware/quarkus-faces:latest
Builds a native Docker image running as a GraalVM (Mandrel) application.
mvn -Pnative
docker run -i --rm -p 8081:8081 melloware/quarkus-faces:${version}
We have a WIKI page where we are keeping track of known issues while developing with Quarkus/MyFaces/PrimeFaces. Please feel free to contribute to that page if you find anything you think others should know!
