Hi Tom,

Yep, I could implement successfully true pagination with SerializableDataModel (like here: http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/dataTable.jsf?tab=dataModel). Perhaps this should be done using less code (there are many unknown/unused @Override methods that are mandatory to be implemented) but that's another issue...

Yes, I totally agree that Richfaces 3..3 wouldn't work in IE9/10, probably due to the fact of latest Richfaces 3.3 release was some years ago .

I think Richfaces was good enough for production use in 3.3.x versions, but in 4.x there are some lacks of important features (that were available in 3.3.x). In fact, I did change my new JSF 2.x developments from Richfaces to Primefaces. Seems that Jboss let Richfaces with many less resources (people) in the development team.

Hi Tom,
Guess Richfaces 3.3 and Primefaces 3.x aren't comparable at all. First one was made for JSF 1.2 and Primefaces 3.x requires JSF 2.x.

If you want to compare both frameworks, you can using Richfaces 3.3 with Primefaces 2.x or Richfaces 4.x and Primefaces 3.x

BTW, I've used Richfaces 3.3 (with JSF 1.2 of course) from some years now, and it works almost perfect. Primefaces had some important lack of features (complex Datatables for example) until some recent versions, but now I agree is the most powerful component set for JSF 2.x.
