How to deploy PrimeFaces applications into Jelastic cloud

PrimeFaces is one of the most popular UI frameworks in Java Ecosystem and widely used by software companies, world renowned brands, banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, universities and more. PrimeFaces is a lightweight library, all decisions made are based on keeping PrimeFaces as lightweight as possible. Usually adding a third-party solution could bring a overhead however this is not the case with PrimeFaces. It is just one single jar with no dependencies and nothing to configure.

Let's deploy PrimeFaces application to Jelastic cloud and you'll see how easy it is!

3. In the Environment Topology dialog, pick your application server (for example, Tomcat 6). Then type your environment name, for example, primefacestest.

Wait just a minute for your environment to be created.
