I want create a web application which looks similar as my Windows 7 desktop. I am using JSP and JSF. I wonder how I could create a start button and gadgets. Can anyone give me some hints?

+1  A: 

you can :

To emmulate start button & icons use command link with image wrapped

To emulate menu use menu from RichFaces rich:menu

To open folder file things you can use modal panel from Rich Faces

To emulate explorer like you can use rich:tree component.

I feel you can make it better than windows 7 :-)

Here is live demo for richfaces

org.life.java

PrimeFaces has a Mac OS X dock demo. The main components are:

(see also View > Source in top menu bar of the demo page)


That said, I would strongly recommend to drop JSP altogether and go ahead with Facelets (XHTML) for JSF. However, your question history hints here and there that you're already using Facelets. Why would you fall back to vintage JSP then?

This is for Mac, what about Windows?

@Odelya: It's a matter of a different theme :) The [Redmond](http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/home.jsf?theme=redmond) theme comes close.

Hi BalusC i wonder use jsp:include and ui:include page can you give me suggest ? thank you

`jsp:include` is for JSP and `ui:include` is for Facelets. JSP is not the same as Facelets. They cannot be used together. They are both view technologies. Facelets is the successor of JSP. Facelets is a better choice.

thank you i will choice facelets replace jsp
