His idea is very good, it's only a partial solution, though. Thing is that a component might be rendered different due to an AJAX request then in the normal case (think InputSuggestAjax). This is why we implemented something like an encodeBeginAjax method with our components. Of course, he might be trying to pass in the processing context to the encode methods via the facesContext.
Additionally, the question reminds how to tell the client side components when to start an AJAX request - is it time based, or based on some user interaction? I think that this will need the most standardization efforts. Finally - there are issues with just rendering out the HTML as is - many AJAXers say it would be better to render javascript that changes the DOM Tree instead of rendering out HTML directly. regards, Martin On 9/21/05, b0nyb0y <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Those are nice.. > > However, what made me almost jumped off my seat was this: > http://weblogs.java.net/blog/jhook/archive/2005/09/jsf_avatar_vs_m_1.html > > Another great thing coming from the talented Mr Hookom.
