nimo stephan updated RF-10489:
------------------------------

        Summary: extend "render" and "data" -property of rich:ajax to accept 
css or jquery like selectors  (was: extend render-property of rich:ajax to 
accept css or jquery like selectors)
    Description: 
The JSF2 (RF4) supports ajax out of the box with its render-property.
The render-property does only accept one or more server-side compontent ID's.

Why does the render-value does not support classes?
Or going further, why does the render-value does not support css-or jquery-like 
selectors?

It would be very nice and clean to do something like this:

<f:ajax render="$('.myclass)" .../>

instead of this:

<f:ajax render=":form, :text, :table, :menu" .../>

myclass could be act as SERVICE:

So I say myclass has the name "update_data_hobbies" and with that name I 
include all its components which should be considered by invoking the service 
"update_data_hobbies".

<f:ajax render="$('.update_data_hobbies)" .../>
<h:form class="update_data_hobbies"..>
..
</h:form>
<h:inputText class"update_data_hobbies"../>
<rich:datatable class="update_data_hobbies".../>
<!-- and so on.. -->

(by the way, it would be cleaner to extract the service-name from the html5 
data-attribute, for example data-ajax="update_data_hobbies").

With the ability to enhance the property with css-jquery-like selectors, I can, 
for example, easily update all my table-elements:

<f:ajax render="$('table')" .../>

Go one step further, now the developer can maintain all the ajax-cluttered-code 
easily by searching for the name of the service, namely update_data_hobbies, 
within the code  to get or see all related ajax-components in one step without 
the need to search by ID. Go two steps further, jboss tools can then easily 
provide an Editor ("ajax-overview-editor") in which all correlated ajax-calls 
are viewed by its service.

One of the main problems while developing ajax-sites is, that it is not very 
fast and easy to see and maintain all the components which are affected by 
ajax-calls. It will become harder, if the affected compontens are cluttered in 
more than one pages, which can happen when using templating future of 
jsf/facelets. It is annoying, to limit the render-value by its id, it is 
annoying, to search all the ID's which are listed in the render-value manually. 
It would leverage the semantic level of developing and maintain jsf-views by 
introducing the service "update_data_hobbies" instead of its correlated IDs. 
JSF has the nice future of relating components in data and render via @ (for 
example @form which relates the form and its enclosed tags where ajax call is 
made). However, @ is very limited in selecting tags. But maybe the extend of 
the functionality of the @-Operator is the way to go.

For this reason, I created a future request.
