You might consider Struts Shale's remoting support for myfaces
(http://struts.apache.org/struts-shale/shale-remoting/apidocs/index.html).
It allows an AJAX call into the JSF life cycle invoking an action bound
method on a managed bean. It assumes a URL convention where the managed
bean name and method are specified as folders within the URL.

Consider the following example where remoting$businessis the managed
bean name and cityAndStateForZip is the method.:
bean name and cityAndStateForZip is the method.:
sendRequest("http://localhost:8080/struts-shale-usecases/" +
"dynamic/remoting$business/cityAndStateForZip.faces" +
?zip=" + escape(zip),
processZipCodeSelection);
"dynamic/remoting$business/cityAndStateForZip.faces" +
?zip=" + escape(zip),
processZipCodeSelection);
