The demo did use examples of resource loading for javax.faces.js and the
associated com.enverio.js:
1) Convention of anything in FACES-INF is public from the
classloader/jar and remotely referenceable (javax.faces.js)
2) The AutoSuggest example uses the ClientWriter.writeScript(....)
method to do the same thing as Weblets/Shale.
There's a lot of solutions floating around for static loading from the
classloader and Weblets allows you to mount Servlet-like endpoints for
dynamic content delivery from the classloader. This is the obvious next
step from the 4 or 5 solutions out there for pure static resource
delivery. Ajax4Jsf says they have a solution for dynamic resource
delivery from the classloader too.
