Can a client-side AJAX solution and server-side Faces solution co-exist and play well together? Or are they each solving a similar problem in a different and incompatible way? The authors of Pro JSF and Ajax, Jonas Jacobi (pictured) and John R. Fallows, will discuss how the JavaServer Faces framework can be used to embrace AJAX today, while protecting Web applications from radical re-architecture each time there is a change in direction of client-side technology.

Jacobi and Fallows will present a session entitled, "AJAX and Faces: Friends or Foes?" as part of the Real-World AJAX Seminar at the SOA Web Services Edge and Enterprise Open Source Conference and Exhibition in New York June 5-6. The two have written a book on the subject, and provide a glimpse of their presentation in an exclusive SYS-CON interview that can be found at: http://www.sys-con.tv/read/209169.htm
