While speaking at the Globalcode Developer's
conference in Rio de Janeiro, I met a dynamic and intelligent
student by the name of Thiago
Diogo. Thiaogo presented his group's work on student project to
provide a real, mission critical distributed application for his
university, Universidade Federal
Fulminense. They chose JSF 1.2 and Seam as a part of their stack.
One idea Thiaogo shared with me was a memcached JSF component. We
kicked the idea around and I mentioned it would be pretty easy to invent
a JSF component that acted like a <span> tag that
simply meant, “the rendered output of any JSF components inside of
me should come from memcached, if possible”. I don't have time to
start on this idea right now, so I thought I'd share it out here in my
blog in case anyone else wanted to pick it up, or if anyone else has
already done this! When I get time, I'll try adding it to the Mojarra
sandbox components, but in the meantime, anyone can have at it!
