Woodstock to ADF Faces Rich Components Matrix

Oracle ADF Faces Components is a set of over a 150 Ajax-enabled JSF components that let you build a richer user interface for your Java EE applications. Oracle ADF Faces also includes many of the framework features most needed by JSF developers today. The following matrix will show you the equivalences between the woodstock components and the ADF Faces Rich Components.

With the recent announcement from Sun that they will no longer be developing the Woodstock set of JSF components, developers might be looking for alternative component sets. Oracle ADF Faces offers a rich set of components that match and exceeds the functionality provided by the woodstock components. Follow the resource on this page to learn how the woodstock components compare to the ADF Faces components and about the additional functionality you can get with the ADF Faces components and the free development environment offered by Oracle JDeveloper 11g.

The following matrix maps the woodstock components with it's related ADF RC, although ADF Faces provides more components and capabilities for creating Rich UIs for enterprise java applications.
