Description

The goal of this task is to do research/prototyping to get our bearings and identify potential stumbling blocks in the trasition to JSF 2.0 Ajax features in particular. I have put together a Trinidad prototype with the following changes:

1. Trinidad client-side calls out to jsf.ajax.request() to issue the request

• simple changes to call jsf.ajax.request() instead of Trinidad sendFormPost
• no support (yet) for special usecases - mobile/iframe (file upload) /portlet

2. Trinidad server-side has been updated to recognize the JSF2-style request

• minor changes to CoreRenderKit to recognize JSF 2.0 request headers / POST params

3. Trinidad server-side generates a JSF2-style response

• PPRResponseWriter tweaked; a new implementation for the PartialViewContextFactory/PartialViewContext

4. Trinidad client-side allows jsf.ajax.response() to process the response.

• allow jsf.ajax.response() to handle response entirely and update the page
