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
