I need to write an application that requires some custom Jquery, stylesheets and some HighCharts. I'd like to use JSF2/PrimeFaces. But the feeling I get is that JSF/Primefaces is meant for developers that DO NOT want to deal with Jquery and stylesheets.

So my question is, if you're a programmer who enjoys getting dirty with Jquery & Stylesheets, is it possible to use JSF/PrimeFaces? Does JSF/PrimeFaces give you the option to customize the CSS and javascript files

  • Surely. As an example, http://zeef.com is developed in JSF/PrimeFaces, but uses an entirely custom design and has a bunch of specific scripts. JSF is, as it is intented to, solely there to eliminate the duplicated Java/Servlet/HTML/CSS/JS boilerplate code so that the final Facelet/Backingbean source code is pretty slick.

primefaces by default uses jquery file so you can directly write jquery methods in file
