Needs advice

PrimeFaces

and

Thymeleaf

Hello, I need to create a website using Java frameworks, the website must pull data from different mssql views , I'm thinking of using Spring Boot+PrimeFaces but someone suggested I should use Thymeleaf instead of primefaces, I don't have any experience in either, so I'm wondering if someone has some advice based on their own experience? thanks!

Needs advice

Bootstrap

and

PrimeFaces

I need to modernize a Java web application that runs on JSF. I am used to building websites, so Bootstrap kinda feels like "home." But when it comes to applications, I feel Bootstrap is not the right way to go. Can someone explain to me what PrimeFaces is capable of in comparison with BS?

PrimeFaces Alternatives & Comparisons

What are some alternatives to PrimeFaces?

AngularJS

AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.

Vaadin

It is the fastest way to build web applications in Java. It automates the communication between your server and the browser and gives you a high-level component API for all Vaadin components

Spring MVC

A Java framework that follows the Model-View-Controller design pattern and provides an elegant solution to use MVC in spring framework by the help of DispatcherServlet.

RichFaces

It is an advanced UI component framework for easily integrating Ajax capabilities into business applications using JSF.

BootsFaces

It is a powerful JSF framework that takes the best from Bootstrap and jQuery UI to let develop well-designed responsive state-of-the-art next-gen Front-end Enterprise Applications fast and easy supporting HTML5.
