            Description

            One of the main benefits of ICEfaces has always been the transparency with which DOM updates are applied. The developer generally doesn't have to provide anything in the page markup or the back end to have the client side updated properly. However, as we move towards better integration with 3rd party components, this type of page-scoped updating can sometimes cause problems as other components/scripts/etc on the page may not operate properly if updated by ICEfaces. It's also possible that turning off updates for a page region could provide optimized performance.

            This JIRA is the starting point for a discussion about the usefulness of such a feature and how it might be implemented. For example, one option would be to provide a container component that support attributes for controlling if and how a containing region was updated.

                It may be necessary to strip the data-ice-diffsuppress="true" attributes from the DOM for XHTML compliance, however, this should simply be tested as most browsers will likely ignore the extra attributes. These marker values are expected to be sparsely used so do not present a performance overhead. Additionally, the presence on the client may be a useful indicator that the page region is under special handling.

                This JIRA is also intended to support control over whether the diff is applied to a given subtree, so this feature is not yet complete.

                Now that we support partial page rendering (subtree rendering) via f:ajax, is this JIRA complete?

                Initializing assigning to Ted for the discussion/consideration part. Will re-assign if and when we get to the implementation.
