Ajax4JSF vs Sandbox PPR

[Pankaj Gupta <pg...@fluent.com>]

Hi,

We will be adding ajax to our existing JSF application that uses 
myfaces, tomahawk and facelets. The ajax4jsf framework looks very 
appealing since we can use it to ajaxify our existing components without 
a lot of code refactoring. And it seems to work fine with myfaces and 
facelets.

But the PPR functionality in sandbox also looks very similar to A4J, at 
least on the surface. Since its part of the myfaces project, it might be 
a better fit for us. But apart from the online demo at the Irian site 
and some old mail threads there is very little documentation on this 
feature. It will be very useful if someone could summarize the uage of 
this feature and how it comapres with A4J. A few lines on the relative 
merits and demerits of the two frameworks and when to use one vs the 
other will really help us make an informed decision.

Thanks,
Pankaj

Hi..
I use MyFaces, Tomahawk and Sandbox together. It works fine.
My question:
How can know in my managedBean the clicked button (add or remove button) 
from the selectManyPiclist.
I can use the valuChangeListener. And I don't know what should I read to 
get the clicked button..
thanks for help..

I am not sure about the current status of the sandbox ppr, it had severe
limitations when I touched it last time (no javascript rendering was
possible thus making half of the components non working)
You should give the trinidad ppr also a second look, to my knowledge
it is more stable than the sandbox ppr and also does not choke on
javascripts.
