Practical RichFaces, Second Edition

CHAPTER 1 THE BASICS
Figure 1-1. RichFaces tab panel and calendar (blueSky skin)
If you are reading an electronic version of this book, then Figure 1-1 will appear in light blue color.
By changing just one parameter, we can render the page in the ruby skin, as shown in Figure 1-2.
Another difference in Figure 1-2 is that it is also showing an optional control to select time. Each
component offers a large number of customization options.

The tabs can be switched via Ajax, as well as previous/next month in the calendar. Let’s look at one
more rich component, shown in Figure 1-3. It shows a rich inplace input component displayed three
times. Inplace input renders initially as a label (first component); when clicked, it switches to an input
(second component); and then back to a label when editing is done (third component).
