    Developing JSF 2.0 component for Richfaces 4 with Ajax callbacks

      Hi,

       

      I wanna develop an mindmap component (a node). I have developed this component before in JSF 1.2 in Icefaces.

      But I wanna migrate it to Richfaces 4 (JSF 2.0).

       

      I did found the basis component creation:

       

      @FacesComponent(value = "node")
      public class Node extends UIComponentBase {

       

      }

       

      But I can't find anything on:

       

      How can I send value updates (like x,y position updates) to the component from javascript.

      In Icefaces I used an hidden field and an onchange event = send partialupdates.

      After setting the hidden field I fired an onchange event.

       

      Here I wanna use fine grained events like a positionUpdateEvent.

      How do I do this? I found something about jsf.ajax.request but no references how to use the events in the components.

       

      I also wanna know how to update a part of the dom and not rerender the complete component.

       

      I hope someone can send me in the right direction.

       

       

      Kind regards,

       

      Mark
