What would be the best way to implement a digital clock in JSF 2.0?

  • 0

What would be the best way to implement a digital clock in JSF 2.0? Is there a lib or component available or should I implement it myself? In the latter case, what would be the best way to implement it? The clock only should – obviously- be refreshed automatically on the page when a minute goes by. I wish not to use JavaScript.

Thanks in advance.

    What would be the best way to implement a digital clock in JSF 2.0? Is there a lib or component available or should I implement it myself?

    No JSF component comes to mind. You’d need to implement it yourself.

    In the latter case, what would be the best way to implement it? The clock only should – obviously- be refreshed automatically on the page when a minute goes by. I wish not to use JavaScript.

    Use JavaScript. There is really no better/easier way. Plus, there are lot of ready-to-use examples available on the internet.

    As far as I know I’ll need <body onload="showTime()"> to activate the code for the clock. But then I’d be activating the JavaScript on pages where it shouldn’t be activated. Or is there a way without using the onload trigger event?

    Just put a

    <script>window.onload = functionName;</script>

    somewhere in the document. It’ll work equally good. You can also just do 

    <script>functionName();</script>

    as long as that appears after the HTML DOM element representing the clock.
