regarding 1) I wouldn't change the DWRServlet, hard to maintain...
  just create your own filter that does the same like the FacesServlet.

4,5) yeah can be tricky :)

Good luck ;)

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.
