Is anyone using Shale Remoting with Facelets? Since you're supposed to short-circuit the JSF lifecycle from a remoting method, how would you use facelets to render the resulting view? Is it possible?
The sweet spot for Shale Remoting is use cases where you want to transport *data* back and forth, without worrying about the JSF component tree state (and the corresponding overhead). To that end, Shale Remoting expects you to take care of the output yourself (supporting the use of the standard JSF ResponseWriter API if you like that one). If you want to have a "partial page refresh" scenario where a part of the JSF component tree is rerendered (using Facelets or any other view hander technology you like), then you'll likely want to investigate Ajax4JSF[1] or Project Dynamic Faces[2] instead.
