I have used Ajax4JSF and seam to achieve this

here is an example  

I have a list of LandmarkTypes and a List of Landmarks that is dependent on the 
LandmarkType chosen


  |     <a4j:region selfRendered="true">
  |         <h:selectOneMenu id="landmarkType_id" 
  |                             value="#{landmarkType}">
  |             <s:selectItems label="#{landType.landmarkTypeDescription}" 
  |                     value="#{allLandmarkTypes.resultList}" 
  |                 noSelectionLabel="(None)" var="landType"/>
  |             <s:convertEntity/>
  |     <a4j:support event="onchange" 
  |             actionListener="#{addressLocator.fillLandmarkList}" 
  |             ajaxSingle="true" reRender="landmark_input"/>               
  |         </h:selectOneMenu>
  |     </a4j:region>
  |         
  |     <h:selectOneMenu id="landmark_input" value="#{landmark}">
  |         <s:selectItems label="#{land.landmarkName}" 
  |             value="#{landmarkList}" 
  |             noSelectionLabel="(None)" var="land"/> 
  |         <s:convertEntity/>                               
  |     </h:selectOneMenu>

The LandmarkTypes are filled using a CRUD entity-query ("allLandmarkTypes") but 
could just as easily be done using an @Factory method.

Here is the sfsb.  I am using lazy loading to fill the list but a query would 
work just as well.


  |     @In(required=false)
  |     private LandmarkType landmarkType;
  | 
  |     @Out(required=false)
  |     List<Landmark> landmarkList;
  | 
  |     public void fillLandmarkList() {
  |     if (!(entityManager.contains(landmarkType))) {
  |             landmarkType = entityManager.getReference(LandmarkType.class, 
landmarkType.getLandmarkTypeId());
  |     }
  |     landmarkList = (List) landmarkType.getLandmarkCollection();
  |                     
  |     }
