JSF 2 <f:ajax>
● Very basic Ajax functionality
● Greatly inspired by RichFaces 3 <a4j:support> tag
● Ajax in JSF in 3 easy steps:
1. Sending an Ajax request
2.Partial view processing
3.Partial view rendering

That's good, but where do you get rich components and
more?
A rich component framework is still(?) needed to build
real-world Ajax applications.

JSF 2 queue
● JSF 2 has very basic queue functionality
● Events are queued and fired one at a time
● Only one request is processed on the server at a time
![Page 54: RichFaces 4 webinar #1: Everything You Need To Know](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052905/558660ffd8b42aed468b4692/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Exadel
RichFaces queue upgrades
● Combine requests from one or more components
● Delay firing Ajax request
● Cancel DOM updates if “similar” request was fired
● Define queue as:
◦ Global (all views have queue)◦ View-based◦ Form-based◦ Named (used by particular components only)
![Page 55: RichFaces 4 webinar #1: Everything You Need To Know](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052905/558660ffd8b42aed468b4692/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Exadel
<a4j:queue> – “combining” events from the same component
<a4j:queue requestDelay="2000"/>…<a4j:commandButton value="Button A1"/><a4j:commandButton value="Button AB"/>
Events (clicks) from the same component are “combined” which results in just one request from a component being sent. Prevents sending multiple request from the same component.
