The components are delegating the method calls to their corresponding renderers - it's just like with the default lifecycle related methods.
One question - how would you propose to handle special cases - e.g. an inputSuggest components doesn't render itself normally on an ajax request, but renders a list of suggested items? regards, Martin On 4/29/06, Adam Winer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Gerald, Once you start allowing multiple components to be updated, *a lot* of possibilities open up. My big concern with the approach being recommended here is that it treats Ajax requests as radically different from all other requests, which ends up defeating a lot of the benefits of the JSF lifecycle, and forces components to expose "too much". Why, for instance, do you need special "encodeAjax" or "decodeAjax" methods on the component? What if a Renderer - independently of the component - wishes to add AJAX-style feedback? -- Adam On 4/29/06, Gerald Müllan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As far as i know we wanted to update only one component per request > with our actual approach. > > I think we should separate the need of updating the model (like > anywhere) and having an ajax response to show something special > (visualisation etc.) on the client. > > cheers, > > Gerald > > On 4/29/06, Mario Ivankovits <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi! > > > If we rely on our "affectedAjaxComponent" approach (seeking comp and > > > calling methods on it) we are little bit restricted in coding. > > If this mean that we can update only one component per request, then I > > would like to see to at least extends this approach. > > > > Beside the fact that a component would like to update its own > > data/layout/etc I would like to be able to update other components too. > > > > Say if you have a button "calculate" this should update the model and > > then update the output of n other components. > > Something like zones in ajaxanywhere (partial page rendering). > > > > Or is this wish out of scope of the current discussion? > > > > Ciao, > > Mario > > > > > > > -- > Gerald Müllan > Schelleingasse 2/11 > 1040 Vienna, Austria > 0043 699 11772506 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
