Icesoft Technologies on Tuesday is making its Icefaces AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) development platform for Java available under an open source license.
Specifically, Icesoft is using the Mozilla Public License.
Icefaces is an integrated AJAX application framework for Java EE. It extends JavaServer Faces technology to enable Java developers to more easily build thin-client rich Web applications, Icesoft said. AJAX push technology allows for building of rich enterprise applications that provide instant feedback to users when server-side application events occur.
Also new to Icefaces is tighter links with IDEs. Integration with the JBoss Seam application framework also is featured.
Additionally, Icesoft is announcing Icefaces.org, which provides technical resources and fosters communication among the Icefaces community.
Enterprise support options are available for Icefaces, starting at $2,500 per year.
