I created ActionListeners, since I am at this point the most comfortable with...

When I added the AJAX support, I created the custom components because I felt the view should handle the AJAX zones, not the business logic. With that in mind: ajaxCommandLink: Attribute for "ajaxZone" On "broadcast", check if the type is an action event for the current component if so, use AAUtils to add the zone from the attribute ajaxTree: Attribute for ajaxZone custom toggle expansion method (override) that will add the "ajaxZone" property value to AAUtils's zones to refresh when executed. If you don't mind putting view code in your action methods, you can add it there, or create action listeners. Since the AAUtils methods are static, you could use a parameter and a action listener to do this: <t:commandLink> <f:actionListener type="customAjaxListener" /> <f:param name="ajaxZone" value="myzone1, myzone2" /> </t:commandLink> This is more clunky in the UI, but then you don't have to code the components (which really isn't that hard to do.
