rich:toolBar, rich:dropDownMenu and rich:menuItem
This example demonstrates how to create simple toolbar using RichFaces tag library. RichFaces provides predefined tags like rich:toolBar which will be easily plugged into our webpages to display the toolbar component. Apart from rich:toolBar, to create menus we have to use other tags rich:dropDownMenu and rich:menuItem.
