As I told you before, the one large issue is with the embedded
selectItems - we can't trod down that path with the ajaxable

prototype/aculo.us library - no need to reinvent the scripting part if
such good libraries are around, I'd say....
Not quite the same, but did you check out the sourceforge stuff last week.
I enabled the DataBuilder stuff for the component for the demo.
It is not totally the same but basically on the backend you also use
SelectItems as model value and then have the databuilder class building
the connection string.
I am not sure if this methodology cleanly can be mapped into something
more jsf like, because there is always the issue of having the
connection between the frontend and backend.
In the end it might be possible to have some kind of binding which
basically does the connection. Sort of an AjaxUIInput or AjaxSelectMenu
which does all the connection stuff and accepts the SelectItems and maps
them into XML. You still would be totally out of the rendering phases
that way (you are anyway no matter what you do), but the methodology
would be more jsfified.
