I am migrating an old application from Icefaces 1.8 to Icefaces 4.2. I am getting numerous compilation issues as following component classes are no longer available:

  1. HtmlCommandLink (com.icesoft.faces.component.ext.HtmlCommandLink)
  2. HtmlGraphicImage (com.icesoft.faces.component.ext.HtmlGraphicImage)
  3. HtmlOutputLabel (com.icesoft.faces.component.ext.HtmlOutputLabel)
  4. HtmlOutputLink (com.icesoft.faces.component.ext.HtmlOutputLink)
  5. HtmlOutputText(com.icesoft.faces.component.ext.HtmlOutputText)
  6. HtmlPanelGrid (com.icesoft.faces.component.ext.HtmlPanelGrid)
  7. HtmlPanelGroup (com.icesoft.faces.component.ext.HtmlPanelGroup)
  8. MenuBar (com.icesoft.faces.component.menubar.MenuBar)
  9. com.icesoft.faces.component.IceExtended
  10. com.icesoft.faces.component.paneltabset.TabChangeEvent
  11. com.icesoft.faces.component.ext.taglib.Util
  12. com.icesoft.faces.context.effects.JavascriptContext (includeLib)
  13. com.icesoft.faces.component.DisplayEvent
  14. com.icesoft.faces.component.ext.RowSelectorEvent

This is just a small list of elements which are no longer available in icefaces 4. I have lot more other elements as well.

So, the question is, where I can get the list of java implementation of the new components in icefaces 4 which will be substitute for the old Icefaces components?

Please note that I am not using html tag directly inside the xhtml page. I am just using the parent tag and pushing all the rest of the components on the page through java.

<f:view xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:ice="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component"
    contentType="text/html">  

   <ice:portlet styleClass="box1">
        <ice:panelGroup styleClass="testPanelGroup"> 
           <ice:outputText value="#{test.Load}" visible="false"/>
           <ice:panelGroup binding="#{table.view}"/>
        </ice:panelGroup>
   </ice:portlet>
</f:view>

My sample java file where i am overriding the java implemenetaion of these tags an then using them in my code

public class HtmlGraphicImage extends
    com.icesoft.faces.component.ext.HtmlGraphicImage {

    @Override
    public Object getValue()
    {

   Object o = super.getValue();
   if (o == null || String.valueOf(o).isEmpty())
       return "/images/clear.gif";

   return o;
  }
}
}

I got the list of the updated components but not their Java implementation.

  • In think you need to try to find the sources of the intermediate versions and start comparing. – Kukeltje May 31 '18 at 12:20
  • I was trying the same. I read the release notes of all the intermediate releases. Although I found some replacements (not included in above list) but icefaces 4.2 examples are very limited on web and are mostly based on xhtml icefaces component. I was looking for examples of replacement of old icefaces java components (mentioned above) with latest icefaces 4.2 java components implementation. – Rishi Singhal May 31 '18 at 14:26
  • Did you ever find any solution to this ? i am in charge of an old app migration but i cannot find the replacement / alternative for IceUserObject – jmiguel77 Jul 21 '21 at 20:14
