I've seen the following UI on various e-commerce websites to select a certain item from a hierarchical group of categories like movies, books, travel, outdoor, sports, electronic and more where each category has nested categories. This has been the inspiration for the new MultiSelectListbox Component for PrimeFaces 4.0 codename Sentinel. The component receives a collection of SelectItemGroup instances where each instances has children SelectItemGroups and/or SelectItems. Component only allows SelectItems to be selected not groups as SelectItemGroup...

Prior to 2.2, JSF had a problem with keeping component values in case validation fails, the problem has been described in detail at; JAVASERVERFACES_SPEC_PUBLIC-1129 https://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-2576 JSF 2.2 Reset Values During JSF 2.2 Specification process, I brought this up the EG hoping for a standard solution and with the help of Ed Burns, Kito Mann and other members, we came up with a new attribute called resetValues for f:ajax and f:resetValues for non-ajax requests. Thanks to Thomas Andraschko, PrimeFaces 4.0 also has...
In JSF API, UIComponent#findComponent only accepts id expressions. In the render/execute attribute of f:ajax, you can also reference components by some special keywords: @this @form @parent @all @none In PrimeFaces 3.x, we already improved the findComponent logic by adding some new features like @namingcontainer and PrimeFaces Selectors. PrimeFaces Selectors aka provides the ability to reference components by JQuery selectors e.g. (@(:input:disabled), @(.ui-datatable .ui-panel)). For PrimeFaces 4.x, we have taken this to the next level. Thomas Andraschko completely over-worked our search expression logic and created a modular framework with...
ConfirmDialog is handy when you want to provide a fancy confirmation instead of javascript confirm box, however there is one to one relationship between the confirmation source and the dialog itself meaning page author needs to create a separate confirmDialog for each action that requires confirmation. As the page grows, it becomes quite to maintain and page is bloated with confirmDialogs. To improve this in PrimeFaces 4.0, we are introducing a Global ConfirmDialog that is a singleton...
