Goals

---

The main goal was to take an out-of-the-box Faces (formerly JSF) application (PrimeFaces Showcase) and get it running in Quarkus and deployed as a GraalVM Native executable or an UberJar single executable JAR.

Application

---

See QuarkusFaces Showcase running live in GraalVM on a free cloud hosting using 0.1 VCPU and 512MB RAM. It is an underpowered machine, but it gets the point across.

Optimizations

---

• Apache MyFaces (Quarkus) instead of Jakarta Mojarra (Wildfly)
• PrimeFaces MOVE_SCRIPTS_TO_BOTTOM
• Quarkus Brotli Compression quarkus.http.enable-compression=true
• OmniFaces CombinedResourceHandler
• PrimeFaces Extensions CombinedResourceHandler Helper
• jQuery Hide Page Until Complete
• Caffeine High Performance Caching

Development
