Fair enough - with JSF 1.1 (and JSF 1.2, for that matter), AJAX postback back through the component tree is somewhere between slower than ideal and molasses-slow. But it's my opinion that bypassing JSF is a workaround for limitations in JSF, not a desirable path in and of itself. And so its the job of the EG and the JSF community (like MyFaces) to figure out how we can fix JSF to make it better for processing AJAX requests. -- Adam
