A Cool JSF and Maps Mashup

Posted by Chris Schalk, Google API Team

We're always excited when we see new tools that make it easier for different groups of developers to use the Google Maps API. Matthias Wessendorf, a server-side Java expert, recently posted a cool mashup showing how easy it is to integrate server-side Java technologies with Google Maps.

In this mashup, Matthias has combined JavaServer Faces technologies, Facelets and Apache Trinidad with Google Maps. The end result is a datagrid component with an embedded Google map. This is done without requiring the JSF developer to code in JavaScript.
