switchType=ajax on modalPanel
-----------------------------

                 Key: RF-8210
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-8210
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Gonzalez Adrian


Lately, I'm mostly (80% of times) rendering my rich:modalPanels in ajax mode [1] :
- a4j:commandButton calls a backing bean method, and rerenders the a4j:outputPanel surrounding  rich;modalPanel.
     oncomplete js handler call Richfaces.showPanel.
- the rich:modalPanel is inside a a4j:outputPanel nd its rendered attribute points to a backing bean property.

This is because each modalPanels weights more or less 5 ko (I've seen 4 different application and it was always at least 5 ko).
This code is repetitive.

Could it be possible to add a switchType (or mode) attribute on rich:calendar, the meaning of which would be :
   1. if switchType=client, behaviour unchanged.
   2. if switchType=ajax, Richfaces.showModal would make an ajax call, rerender the rich:modalPanel (so rich:modalPanel would always be contained in an invisible <span> or shting like this) and show it.
