The ADF Faces partial trigger code is basically server-side event triggered:
"in response to any server-side event on component 'foo', please
re-render me too".
This isn't especially fine-grained, but in practice it rarely needs to be,
and in the event of such needs, there are programmatic APIs.
This seems (though I haven't seen any more than what Travis has said here)
client-side: in response to an "onchange" JS event from a particular,
repaint me.
Rather different... The way we'd do that in ADF Faces is make formText2
"autoSubmit" - so you get a partial request any time formText2 changes - and
then have partialTriggers on the output component point at formText2. This
way, it's processed in strictly JSF terms, w/o lots of DOM assumptions or
JS handling. (E.g., how do you know that all input components are actually
going to have one DOM element that delivers an onchange event? Whereas
you do know that all EditableValueHolders will deliver ValueChangeEvents.)
