Rich Components JavaScript API, Client Functions, and Using jQuery

In this chapter we are going to cover a number of miscellaneous but important components and functions. We will start with the widely used #rich:component() client function and lt;rich:componentControlgt; behavior. Both make it possible to call the JavaScript API available on a component. We will then cover other client functions. We will finally cover two remaining components: lt;rich:jQuerygt;, which integrates the jQuery JavaScript framework into a JSF application, and lt;rich:hashParamgt;, which allows passing a group of client-side parameters to a client-side component.
