Description

Here's the proposal for MyFaces 2.0 extensions to the JSR 314 AJAX API:

proposed API (all additional attribute are optional, so spec conformant requests are still supportet):
jsf.ajax.request(this, event, {execute: (componentIds), render: (componentIds), myfaces:

{pps: (true/false), queuesize: (int), errorlevel: (warning/error/fatal)}

)

And here is what the additional attributes are meant to do:
pps:
If set to true, the PPS (partial page submit) feature becomes active. Only the elements numbered in attribute execute will become submitted.

queuesize:
The desired size of the request queue. For most applications it makes sense to set this to 1. Default is unlimited.

errorlevel:
Will bring up an alert box displaying Javascript errors. This is very helpful for debugging purposes. Possible level values are: warning, error, fatal, none. default is 'none'.
