Heheh, the system (JCP) does work! We owe it to Ed Burns for graciously
examining the last minute proposal and seeing it through with proper
testing and implementation within Sun.
I know a lot of us have been talking about coming up with a good
solution for AJAX and invokeOnComponent is the API piece we needed for
sure (as discussed on myfaces-dev and elsewhere). Hopefully the two
implementation teams can collaborate ideas again and come back with a
common method of communication or a JS Agent that can be leveraged by
component developers for lightweight client to server communication and
rendering (@ J1?).
Taking a page from Hibernate's Criteria object and use of Projections--
// developer code
UIViewRoot root = faces.getViewRoot();
root.invokeOnComponent(faces, "_id0:myTable:34:message",
Lifecycle.renderAll());
// Lifecycle Class
public static ComponentCallback renderAll = new ComponentCallback() {
public void invoke(FacesContext faces, UIComponent instance) {
instance.renderAll(faces);
}
};
Again, we really need to thank Ed!!

cool, that went fast!
Now, I'm definitely for a JSF 1.2 branch, if we can go with that.

The commons-el code is poor IMHO. The one I donated to Jasper was originally
founded within the RI 1.1 donation and benchmarked quite a bit faster at the
time.
The one re-written for the EL-API and donated to both Sun and Apache is based
on Java CC, and finely tuned for JSF's serialization and stateful lifecycles
around VariableMappers and FunctionMappers.
I may be biased, but I think it would be a waste of time to try to modify the
commmons-el solution for the EL-API.
BTW, on the topic of JSF 1.2 and findComponent, we've added invokeOnComponent
to the spec, implemented much like was discussed here on the dev list and has
been implemented and tested within the RI. I, personally, would like to see
MyFaces adopt this method early instead of providing a partial solution with
perspectives to users.

Wow!. I must have missed that email! Was it donated to MyFaces? I
I think it was sent, when you are on vacation ;-)
