ICEfaces – Open Source Ajax application framework for developing Ajax apps for web and iPhone

ICEfaces is an open source Ajax Java application framework that allow Java EE application developers to create and deploy server-based rich Internet application (RIA) using the Java language.

ICEfaces leverages the entire standards-based Java EE ecosystem of tools and execution environments. Rich enterprise application features are developed in pure Java, and in a pure thin-client model. There are no Applets or proprietary browser plug-ins required.

The applications are JavaServer Faces (JSF) applications, so Java EE application development skills apply directly and Java developers are isolated from doing any JavaScript related development. ICEfaces is completely open source and is provided under the Mozilla Public License.
