                <para> 
                      <!--  RichFaces are built using CDK (Component Development Kit). 
                        CDK generates the library based on the meta-data, component templates and hand-written java classes.
                        What you see in the richfaces-ui-3.1.0-src.zip is a truly source, i.e. a source for CDK.
                        To the debug purpose, you need the source code that is generated by CDK before it is compiled into the binary. 
                        -->
                        There are two places where you can find binary/source distribution:
                        <itemizedlist>
                                <listitem>
                                        JBoss RichFaces Downloads area which can be found <ulink url="http://labs.jboss.com/jbossrichfaces/downloads/">here</ulink>.
                                        Source distribution you can see in the <code>richfaces-ui-3.2.1-src.zip</code>. 
                                        Binary stored in <code>richfaces-ui-3.2.1-bin.zip</code>
                                </listitem>
                                <listitem>
                                        If you use Maven, Maven knows the place where all distributions are stored.

                <title>How to use jsFunction with JSON?</title>
                <para>JsFunction and JSON can be used in many ways, for example:</para>
                         
                <para>You want to create device in a circuit diagram. Here is the number of steps for creating:</para>
                <itemizedlist>
                        <listitem>
                You drag and drop it from the toolbox in our embedded Javascript(!) graphical editor. But first only a "please wait"-ModalPanel is shown. 
                        </listitem>
                                <listitem>
                With JSFunction we come to the SessionBean and from there to the DB to fetch some Data for drawing the device in the Editor. 
                                </listitem>
                                        <listitem>
                 When the answer comes back, we asked you with a modal panel to give a name to the device. 
                                        </listitem>
                                                <listitem>
                After you click OK, the model panel disappears (and the please wait model panel shows up again) and another JSFunction call goes over the SessionBean to the DB to create the device data there. 
                                                </listitem>
                                                        <listitem>
                When the answer comes back, a JSON-String is created with all data for drawing the device (for example the given name) and the Editor is advised to draw it (and the please wait modal panel disappears again).
                                                        </listitem>

                <para>Richfaces 3.1.3 uses 1.6.0 version of prototype.js script instead of 1.5.1 
                        that's been used for earlier versions. There are 2 prototype versions included 
                        (the first included implicitly as a dependency of toggle panel components and 
                        the second one included explicitly as a link). Versions conflict is the cause of the problem.</para>

                <para>RichFaces components use Prototype very hard. In particular, some patches has been removed that are already included into 1.6.0. 
                        Adding feature with exclusion makes it possible to use Prototype with version less than 1.6.0. This will break some of the components.</para>
