Hi Rich,
the screens of the ajax components from blueprints look interesting.
Using dojo on client sounds resonable. The state of dojo integration
is *early*, but on going.
Using Shale-Remoting on the server side is interesting. It allows you
to invoke an "action" method on a backing bean (aka view controller).
The given usecase example contains an url like
/dynamic/remoting$business/cityAndStateForZip.faces?zip=VALUE
Here, remoting$business is a backing bean and cityAndStateForZip is a
method which looks up the "zip" http parameter (see [1] for the bean code)
What I don't like on that bean is, that it creates via
javax.faces.context.ResponseWriter the markup (here a xml list). Just
my $0.02
