Hello everyone,

One of the annoying things about Ajax updates with JSF is the fact that
focus can easily get lost. One of my clients actually resorted to
synchronous "Ajax" requests to avoid this problem (to my chagrin). Here's a
good description/solution to the problem:

.

Given that this is a common pain point, shouldn't we provide a solution out
of the box?
