I think if you are using a javaee5 project and selected "Visual Web Java
server faces" project, then you are using the latest component set.
(Basically you would see JSP tags with "webuijsf" prefix)

Since you are using the latest woodstock bits, you should be able to use
the ajax features "out of the box".
If you are seeing the "example
application"(
http://webdev2.sun.com/example/faces/index.jsp), look out
for examples which have "client side updates" or something like that
mentioned. They are the ones which demonstrate asynchronous updates of
the components.
For example, a button when pressed would normally submit a page.. But if
you want client side updates you could for example, hook up the onclick
of the function with a javascript function and also add "return false;"
to it to prevent the button from submitting the page.
You could also look at the tld docs for more information on how to use
ajax features.
