Configuring and getting started with CSV

PrimeFaces CSV is easy to configure. It works with AJAX and non-AJAX requests. It supports partial processing and updating on the client side. There is almost no effort for the users if they plan to add a CSV support to their web applications.

In this recipe, we will see how to configure and use PrimeFaces Client Side Validation Framework.

  </param-name>
  <param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
