Question

In a JSF Facelets “web” application, is it possible to make a jQuery AJAX poll/push without the use of a component library (e.g. RichFaces/IceFaces/PrimeFaces)?

If jquery AJAX is used what should be used for the url = ” part?

Can I use the #{BackingBean.property}?

$.ajax({url:"demo_ajax_load.txt", success:function(result){
    $("div").html(result);
}});

Answer 1

Yes it is possible the url should can be a servlet for example it should be

something like /servlets/SomeServletName

and in your web.xml add the mapping

like this

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>SomeServletName</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>your.package.name.SomeServletName</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>SomeServletName</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlets/SomeServletName</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

p.s backing bean property is not related in here…
