             Summary: Restore adding resources in AJAX requests
                 Key: RF-12270
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12270
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 4.2.2.Final
            Reporter: Tomasz Kurpios


Quoting the extract from official documentation (3.5 Restrictions):

??JSF 2 does not allow resources such as JavaScript or Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to be added if the element requiring the resource is not initially present in the JSF tree. As such, components added to the tree via Ajax must have any required resources already loaded. In RichFaces, any components added to the JSF tree should have components with corresponding resources included on the main page initially. To facilitate this, components can use the rendered="false" setting to not be rendered on the page.??
 
Setting rendered="false" is OK when components are in the tree. However, if there are lots of components on a single view, for performance reasons some parts might be excluded by means of <c:if> or <c:choose> tags.
That's at least what we did in 3.3.3. It worked fine back then. However, it won't work in RichFaces 4.*. We're in the middle of migration to RichFaces 4.* and it would be great to know if there are any plans to restore this functionality.
