A third thought:
Is it possible with the PhaseListener / java blueprint solution to
change the state / use a ajax component within a UIData component that
iterates over its childs and manages their state?
As far as I know this kind of components emulate a part of the request
cycle while iterating. I have no clue, but I worry that we run into some
problems there.
I had another thought about some problems which might arise with
asynchronous requests against the server.
You sometimes have some kind of post rendering do something situation
which might be connected to a control. Now if you run into an
asynchronous request which might trigger a rendering, you might get
sideeffects which are unwanted, there has to be some kind of notificator
which has to be pushed into the request cycle which code which needs
that kind of information can request so that it can behave according to
the situation.
Up until now, this was not a problem, because there was one fixed cycle,
but with ajax it is a completely different issue, because we sort of add
an extra cycle in certain situations.
This notification stuff can be done easily by pushing a value into the
request map.
What we probably need is a clearly defined value which can be requested
in the request map, so that other components can react if there is a
request out of the normal cycle.
