You can do that with Mabon. That allows you to call MEthods of a backing bean by JavaScript

In the end I only want to call functions in my backing beans. For example selecting menuitems in the view menu should call functions in the layoutBean. Or clicking on a start-toolbar-button should call a start method in the workingBean. Usually I do this with the JSF components by using action and actionListener. However in the case of the Dojo menu there are no JSF components to use and I have to implement a way that will call a bean function by using the onClick Javascript method. One way is to embedd a h:inputHidden component which is bind to a bean function, modify it with Javascript by clicking the onClick function in the dojo component and finally sending the form to the server. Is there also an alternative which maybe does not require a JSF component to call the backing bean functions? Currently I do not use ajax functionalities in my application. However, this should happen in the near future, because every action in the page leads to a reload of the page which can take quite long (more precise the layout calculation) depending on the Dojo components implemented. > -----Original Message----- > From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Werner Punz > Sent: Donnerstag, 11.
