Hmm, OK, thanks; that makes sense. So, it's either time to start wrapping Dojo widgets with JSF components, or time to learn about Shale's remoting features ;-)

Picking up on this- I'm just about to refactor two Dojo/JSP projects (one work, one personal) into Dojo/Shale/JSF/Hibernate projects, and this sliver of the stack is exactly what I'm wrestling with. My first thought was to define a relatively narrow Dojo interface for thick client-side stuff (letting MyFaces do simple stuff like autocompletes), keeping the server fairly decoupled, but now I'm wondering if they can be wired more tightly.

Somebody posted on the Dojo mailing list about weaving Dojo libraries into MyFaces ... it wasn't clear (to me, at least) whether this was just for the purpose of using it for behind-the-scenes utility functions, or for AJAX-ifying current JSF components, or for wrapping Dojo widgets as Laurie mentioned. Does anyone know where MyFaces is going in this regard? I expect at first I'll be doing a lot of hand-wired Shale remoting in widgets, but it'd be great to have some idea of where to expect "help" in the future.
