If it works, the result will be consistent in any environment.
What I'm unsure about is the feasibility in a short time in an easy way. Let me enumerate the technical difficulties I see, maybe they willappear trivial to you: 1. Get a FacesContext instance. Fix: Change DWRServlet code a bit to instanciate the FacesContext. Main difficulty: I don't know if FacesContextFactory will like the XMLRequest format of AJAX, it's possible that it don't whine at all though. If that's the case, this point is not a real issue. 2. Get a RequestContext instance. Fix: Add AdfFilter to DWRServlet. Main difficulty: None connected directly to this point. 3. Use the dialog feature of RequestContext. Difficulty: None 4. Open the dialog, e.g. how do you manage the callback method? Difficulty: Dialog is based on some internal Trinidad JS and PPR code that will call a window.open instead refreshing the page. With DWR you'll most likely need to do that yourself, but I'm not perfectly sure on that point. I know the dialog framework, but I'm not a guru. 5. Managing return event. Fix: I have no clue, it might works like magic, but I never used dialog framework that way. If you try it an it works, I would be glad to hear it though.

You'll need a TrinidadContext instance as well to push the dialog... Hmmm I think this could be a nice improvement for Trinidad though, an attribute to send an action from any JavaScript event. Maybe a keyword placed in the event attributes, or new attributes altogether. All components implementing that would have to also implement ActionSource/ActionSource 2 though. This is not a small change, but it would open a whole new level of functionality.
