Jan,
I understand that sometimes companies like this may be unwilling to
change for security reasons, but the XHR is actually a more secure
implementation. Because of the nature of iframe, you are open to may
more exploits then you will be using XHR. This is because using XHR
requires someone trying to exploit the system to familiar with the
application being used whereas in the iframe case they need to know only
that they are in a browser.
If companies want to run in a secure environment, they really need to
not be running IE6, but rather Mozilla or IE7. As for IE 5.5, I thought
Trinidad had a minimum technical requirement of IE6 anyway.

Hi Jan,
yes, we switched to XHR with the release of 1.0.2 (and 1.2.2).
There is no way to use IFrame instead of XHR.
This will remain, because Ajax is pretty common these days and
other JSF-libs have that as well.
Providing an option to "fallback" might be possible, but not sure if that
will be done.
Is "IE 5.5" really still supported by M$?
If not, I'd strongly recommend to kick that guy out.
Sure... only the IE7 doesn't require ActiveX for XHR, but IE does.
I am not aware of a solution for that.
Do you have any ideas ?

Hello all,
we noticed that MyFaces Trinidad is changing the PPR mechanism towards real
AJAX and the XmlHttpRequest object.
We are using Trinidad is the finance sector. There it is normal that the
clients use the Internet Explorer with deactivated ActiveX.
Furthermore they use not the newest browsers, so we although need to support
at least IE 5.5+.
At the beginning of our project we decide to take Trinidad because of it's
IFrame-PPR solution.
It seems as if it is not possible to choose between the two modes: PPR or
AJAX.
Will this remain? If so why? Otherwise, we think that a lot of Trinidad
library users will encounter problems with their clientsJ
Thanks in advance,
Jan
