Java Server Faces widget library (JWL)

Java Server Faces widget library (JWL) is a IBM JSF-based Web widget library that integrates widgets from a number of sources. The IBM JSF-based Web widget library is deprecated, however, we can obtain the latest version from Rational Application Developer version 6 (RAD) to work with JSF 1.2.

JWL includes the JSF components from Rational Application Developer with the exception of the base JSF components, which are included in the appserver runtime. This includes the IBM extended JSF components and the extended FacesClient Component. JWL also extends JSF with client-side features for rich browser-based experiences in the form of the FacesClient Component.

 

JWL Java archive files

JWL is packaged into two JAR files, odc-jsf.jar and jsf-ibm.jar, which are located in...

${WAS_HOME}\optionalLibraries\IBM\jwl\2.0

To include JWL in the application, we can use the JWL shared library named JWLLib, which is created at install time. To assign the library to an application, see the topic, Use installed optional packages.
