Running RichFaces and Ajax4JSF applications in fast-jsf mode

Fast JSF

Resin allows running your JSF applications in fast jsf mode. Fast JSF mode is applied to JSP code generator making it bypass JSP tags and use the component classes directly to construct component tree defined in the JSP flie. To enable fast JSF mode for a particular library Resin needs to know which components the tags bind to. For example, in a standard JSF library a h:message component would bind to javax.faces.component.html.HtmlMessageand Resin knows it from the following binding included in Resin's distribution.

<jsf-taglib xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin">
  <uri>http://java.sun.com/jsf/html</uri>
   ...
  <jsf-tag>
    <name>messages</name>
    <component-class>javax.faces.component.html.HtmlMessages</component-class>
  </jsf-tag>
  ...
</jsf-tablib>

Switching the Fast JSF mode on and off

Fast JSF mode can be turned on globally or for particular context by setting fast-jsf flag to true in $RESIN-HOME/conf/resin.xml or my-app/WEB-INF/resin-web.xml.
