My top performing post this year was about #RichFaces. Fast forward and we're performing more #RichFaces -> #PrimeFaces migrations using #OpenRewrite and #AI, and also upgrading apps to the most recent, secure versions of #JarkartaEE, #Spring (Boot), and #Java without completely rewriting the app. Alternatively, we help teams migrate to a JavaScript framework (#React, #Vue, #Angular, etc.) if that's what they want; we map out a strategies for doing this incrementally. Fun!
Anyone remember #RichFaces? I had forgotten about it until the last couple of years, when we starting getting inquiries for migrating RichFaces applications to #PrimeFaces. We're building tools on top of #openrewrite to automate parts of this process, and it's working well for large, mission-critical, "legacy" apps. It allows them to move to recent, more secure versions of #Java, #JarkartaEE, and #Spring without completely rewriting the app.
