Have you looked at AjaxAnywhere (http://ajaxanywhere.sourceforge.net/)
yet? It works exactly this way, giving you "zones" on the page that get
reloaded when certain actions occur.

Hi guys –
Thanks in advance for your answer to this question…
My company is trying to put together a web client application using
JSF that has the look and feel of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform.
While we’ve had a good bit of success so far, I’ve run into an issue
that I’m hoping you guys can give me some advice on.
Basically, I need to do partial page refreshes. I have a page with
three subpages on it that I am controlling the layout of with tiles,
although I am not tied to tiles at this point if it isn’t the right
answer.
I need to be able to click on a hyperlink on one of the subpages and
initiate a refresh action on another one of the subpages without
refreshing the parent page, because two of my subpages require
significant database action and hence take some time to load, and a
user might typically want to click on a decent number of links in
quick succession. (For those of you familiar with RCP, clicking a link
in the view opens up a new editor in the editor pane).
I was hoping that you guys could throw some advice my way on how to
refresh the pages in a subview or tile without refreshing the whole
darn thing.
