Infragistics Inc. announced the purchase of an AJAX-based JavaServer Faces (JSF) user interface component suite from Otrix SARL. The Otrix development team has joined with Infragistics to develop market and support NetAdvantage for JSF, a new user interface component product line for the JavaServer Faces platform.

The main benefits of this well-engineered, mature code base include the use of the AJAX framework, an existing UIElement(tm) framework, easy styling and built-in professional design templates. "The JSF components we purchased form Otrix will provide high value to our NetAdvantage customers and are consistent with Infragistics' existing product strategies and framework-based architectures," said Dean Guida, CEO of Infragistics, adding that he is optimistic about uniting two highly talented engineering teams to continue strengthening Infragistics' leadership and platform support in the developer tools market. "We are incredibly excited to join forces with Infragistics as there is strength and synergy in our pooled talents.  Our combined teams will enable continued innovation with JSF and AJAX while providing a well-supported, high value NetAdvantage for JSF subscription to customers. " adds Stephane Bastian, CEO of Otrix.

Infragistics will introduce their JSF components under their NetAdvantage brand of component suites, with plans to continuously broaden and deepen their JSF product offering in future releases. Future releases will include new products and features, delivered through a subscription model twice annually. Infragistics is committed to providing client-side consistency across platforms in keeping with Infragistics' overall product branding and architecture.

The Infragistics NetAdvantage product family empowers the developer to build great application interfaces and user experiences across multiple platforms. Infragistics provides components for JSF, ASP.NET, Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), enabling Fortune 2000 companies to standardize on one component vendor, and providing leveraged learning through consistent UIs and object models.
