Trying to get started

I'm trying to get started with jsf-extensions, but I'm not sure
where/how to do that. :P Here's what I'm needing to do. Maybe that
will help some of you gurus to point me in the right direction.
 
I'm working a user authorization administration application. On the
user management page, I have a list of users pulled from the model.
When the app user clicks on a user, I need to update four different
<h:selectManyListbox> components: assigned roles, available roles,
assigned groups, and available groups.
 
Right now, I'm doing that successfully with DWR. The problem with that,
though, is that it's not a very JSFy way of going about it. This page
(https://jsf-extensions.dev.java.net/nonav/mvn/features-ajax.html) tells
me that I can update multiple areas on the page using jsf-extensions,
but I don't see how to go about doing that.
 
I've been staring at the car demo, but nothing's clicking for me. Can
someone give me some pointers? I would very much appreciate it!
