Need Help With Integration?

We offer several support plans to assist with implementation and troubleshooting. Contact us today to learn more.

What is GISFaces?

GISFaces™ is an Enterprise GIS mapping component for Java Server Faces (JSF). The underlying GIS mapping engine used is the ESRI® ArcGIS API For JavaScript. Any ArcGIS service layers available, local or online, can be used in the maps you build. All of our example maps are built with publicly available service layers.

Why GISFaces

GISFaces is the only GIS mapping component available for JSF. There are other JSF mapping components, such as Google Maps, but they are not GIS in the truest sense. This library adheres to the JSF principles including tight integration of AJAX events, avoiding direct use of JavaScript in your .xhtml pages, and mostly, reuse. Best of all, no GIS programmer or analyst experience is necessary to start integrating GIS maps into your applications.
