Has anybody used JSF2, PrimeFaces, and Highcharts together? I am really confused on how I should put all these together, specially regarding the ajax request to get the data from the server to feed into Highcharts on the view to update the chart.
What I have right now is a servlet that handles the Ajax request, which is sent using JQuery.ajax() method and use JQuery to update the chart with the new data received as JSON object. And I am using GSon.toJSon to convert Java object into JSON object.
What I am trying to achieve here is that I want to replace that servlet with the JSF2. Instead of using a different servlet, I want to use JSF and have some backing bean to prepare and send the JSON object to the client.
Anybody?

In the example below the the p:commandButton starts the ajax request. The JSON object you want to use can be stored in the h:inputHidden field. When the p:commandButton completes the javascript function is called to update the chart. The javascript function will be able to access the JSON object from the h:inputHidden field.
