    Ajax rendered dropDownMenu

    cameronr

      Hi all,

      I want something that is a cross-between the "ajax" mode rich:tooltip (contents rendered from ajax request) and the rich:dropDownMenu.

      Basically, I want to be able to generate menu options dynamically, as required. I would also need the "defaultContent" message which is displayed while waiting for the ajax request.

      Is this possible using existing components? I tried using a menu inside a tooltip component but the tooltip automatically closes as soon as the mouse moves off the parent component... I then tried the snapshot of richfaces 3.1.3 as the tooltip has a hideDelay option but I get the following stack trace:

      java.lang.NullPointerException

      Any other suggestions?
