The textField has a submit feature, which allows multiple component
values to be submitted during an Ajax transaction. (See the TLD docs at
http://webdev2.sun.com/woodstock-tlddocs.) However, if you want to
refresh multiple components, I recommend using JSF Extensions (i.e.,
DynaFaces).
Note that Woodstock uses JSF Extensions under the covers. In fact, the
textField submit feature supports the same "execute" argument of
DynaFaces.fireAjaxTransaction -- a comma separated list of component
IDs. However, I'm thinking we could add the "rendered" argument as a
pass through to JSF Extensions. That way, you could use this feature to
submit and refresh multiple components via one request. Perhaps as a 4.3
feature?
That said, if you are using DynaFaces or Prototype APIs directly, use
the JSF Extensions |<jsfx:scripts>| tag to include this resource when
the page is loaded. And please read the Woodstock release notes on this
topic.
