are ICEFaces/RichFaces/PrimeFaces applications RIA?

With the word RIA you mean something based on client extra-html code (flash, flex, applet javafx, silverlight) or anything that gives a better usability?

If so, also AJAX would be included, and since it's the base for *Faces te开发者_运维问答chnologies, they would be RIA too. Wikipedia seems to exclude ajax from RIA, in favor to the distinction ria vs. ajax.

thanks

Well, Ajax and RIA are different things, but using HTML, Javascript and Ajax you can build Rich Interfaces.

For Example, you can't say 'gmail' is not a RIA becouse it not uses Flex or JavaFX.
