I'm having a little trouble understanding exactly what you're trying to do. I'll take a stab, but in case i totally misunderstand you, i'll ask a few questions that, if my response is no help, may make it easier to ask again. For starters, what's a 'system component'? And whatever it is, is this the thing that you want go get loaded when the user takes some action? > On defined user actions, So we're talking about clicking a link or a button? > this component will call a definable JS method, Definable?

In Rails you have several options WRT constructing the JS response the client expects. The easiest is an RJS template that replaces existing html element(s) on the page. I highly recommend Cody Fauser's O'Reilly Shortcut: RJS Templates. Best $10 I've spent on Rails so far. link_to_function(...) calls a JS function you specify in the call. Write back if that doesn't help.
