Re: [jsr-314-open] Ajax rendering of components among compositions?

The only bizzare bit is where the absolute id didn't work - but that's explainable in a few ways. The basic technique - using #{cc.clientId}:subcomponentid to reference the rendered id in the ajax calls, does not seem excessively hard to me. If you're doing ajax stuff in page, you need to know what the rendered id's are going to be. The minute you start doing anything past hello world, you will anyway. If you disagree with this, having seen the basic demo, then obviously I'm wrong, since I'd say you're both more sophisticated than the target audience. So please check that out (jsf-demo/ajax-switchlist), and let me know. Jim On 5/24/09 7:09 PM, Dan Allen wrote: > Hmmm, that seems really bizarre. Perhaps this is a bug in Mojarra but > some chance.
