JavaServer Faces widget library (JWL)
JavaServer Faces widget library (JWL) is an IBM JSF-based web widget library that integrates widgets from a number of sources. The IBM JSF-based web widget library is deprecated, however, you can obtain the latest version from Rational Application Developer version 6 to work with JSF 1.2.
JWL includes the JSF components from Rational Application Developer except for the base JSF components, which are included in the Application Server run time. This includes the IBM extended JSF components and the extended FacesClient Component. JWL also extends JSF with client-side features for rich browser-based experiences in the form of the FacesClient Component.
New feature: Important: JWL is not supported in pages using the JSF 2.0 Facelets format.
JWL Java archive files
JWL is packaged into two JAR files, odc-jsf.jar and jsf-ibm.jar, which are located in the ${WAS_HOME}\optionalLibraries\IBM\jwl\2.0 directory.
To include JWL in the application, you can use the JWL shared library named JWLLib, which is created at installation time.
To assign the library to an application, see the topic, Using installed optional packages.
