Description
There's a need to have (at least) one good demo application that shows:
- how well ICEfaces 2.0 integrates with JSF 2.0
- the added value that ICEfaces features bring
The application could be something built from scratch or could be an re-imagined version of our of our existing applications like Auction Monitor.

As of Beta2 we have auction sample and ace-showcase which are new. However, we still require one or more new samples to clearly illustrate the specific features of ICEfaces 2.
First target application is ICEfaces 2.0 client to ICEpushPlace web service. Start with a standard table view, and then add a map view. We can put navigation in place between the 2 views to test JSF 2.0 navigation. Probably will need other application examples as well.

There are a few reasons that we'd like to see a brand new application developed for ICEfaces 2:
• The existing apps that we have (auction, showcase) have been around for a long time so there's some marketing value in having a fresh new application to show off.
• The current apps are basically ports from ICEfaces 1.x to 2.x so have some baggage and other things that have been carried forward over the years. Building a clean JSF 2/ICEfaces 2 application allows us to move away from some of these previous workarounds or non-best practices.
• The applications that we have are very useful for testing the components and features in both JSF and ICEfaces. Currently, there are some things not covered in the existing apps. For example, we don't really exercise navigation that thoroughly so that would be one thing we could make sure we emphasize. Other features like composite components and other new JSF 2 functions could also be incorporated.
• We can learn from the development process itself. The act of building the application always tends to uncover things we could improve as far as integration goes.
There's easily more here that we could discuss, but I think it's a valid pursuit to apply some time and resources to coming up with a new application that showcases both JSF 2 and ICEfaces 2.
