About the Book
As you probably know, PrimeFaces is a very popular framework and the ultimate UI framework for Java EE. At the same time, OmniFaces is the most comprehensive JSF utility library that aims to make JSF life easier. In this book, you can exploit a suite of examples that combines these two libraries for obtaining more powerful, robust and less verbose applications. As you will see, there are many situations when the PrimeFaces UIs can take advantage of the OmniFaces help.
