The JSFOne conference is being held from Thu 9/4/2008 - Sat 9/6/2008 in the Washington, DC area. Specifically, the event is being held at the Sheraton Premier Hotel in Vienna, VA.

I have the great privilege of speaking at the conference, and will be doing a talk titled "Filthy Rich Portlets with ICEfaces and Liferay." To that end, I recently committed a new portlet to the Liferay Plugins trunk: sample-icefaces-ipc-ajax-push-portlet.

It's actually one web archive (WAR) that contains two portlets. The Customers portlet simply shows a list of customers:

When the user clicks on a customer, ICEfaces initiates an Ajax-Push event which updates the Bookings portlet with travel plans of the selected customer:

But wait! There's more -- the IPC is bi-directional in the sense that if I change the first name or last name in the Bookings portlet, then the name will be updated in the Customers portlet too, all thanks to ICEfaces Ajax Push.

See you at JSFOne!
