Tomahawk

The Official Tomahawk Site

The official site for the Tomahawk library can be found at http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/index.html.

This page is a community-maintained page that contains additional information and errata (corrections) for information on the above site.

Configuring your JSP or JSPX pages to use Tomahawk

Instructions on how to use Tomahawk components in your application can be found at the official site: http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/. There is further information on the MyFaces 1.1.0 Tomahawk Components page.

Tomahawk can be used with the non-standard (but very nice) Facelets project (an alternative to JSP or JSPX for your pages). You can find more information on the Use Facelets with MyFaces and Use_Facelets_with_Tomahawk pages.
