Right now, the best examples are provided with the TLD docs -- included
in the component jar download. In particular, take a look at the
get/setSelectedValue() functions of listbox and dropdown. There are also
get/setProps() functions you can use to retrieve and set widget
properties.||||
In addition to being able to update widgets client-side, there is also a
feature to asynchronously refresh (redraw) the listbox. Basically, you
call the listbox's refresh() function and provide the id of the dropDown
menu. Like a typical page submit, you may retrieve the dropDown value
during JSF's invoke application phase, for example. This gives you the
opportunity to update the listbox, via a backing bean, before it is
redrawn client-side.
Both approaches are documented in examples #3 and #5 of the listbox TLD.
