I need to use Google Maps in a JSF application. Primefaces offers the Gmap. I also found the Gmaps4jsf. Which of the two approaches is the best, or if there are others, which one will bring me more benefits or more flexibility?

If you are developing the application for a company that will need constant support and updates, I suggest you use Primefaces due to the large community around it.
If you don’t need this support and updates, evaluate what your application needs and choose the option that suits you best and with more simplicity.

Hello, @rocmartins. Actually, the application is for use in a course completion work. My question is about the existing API alternatives that make this JSF/Google Maps integration. I’m still new to using JSF. What I know is that it is not recommended to use pure Javascript in JSF pages, or to avoid the abuse of it. That’s why I didn’t just go to the Google Maps Api V3 documentation. Thanks for the clarification.

Primefaces is a very large JSF component library and with an active community that can help you a lot in the doubts and problems you have, I believe it is a good option to start in the technology. As for Javascript, it is really necessary to avoid the use of Javascript in JSF pages, because the JSF components (like the Primefaces components for example) often use a lot of Javascript.
