Question

i would like to know if there is a way to fire a jsf managed bean method (with an AjaxBehaviorEvent type parameter: the same triggered when using f:ajax) directly by using a jqu

Answer 1

jQuery ajax request and JSF ajax request uses different js library's , I don't think there is a point in trying to mix those to too much...

If you whish to fire a JSF managed bean action from jQuery you better use a hidden h:commandButton for that purpose...

JSF:

if you want to pass some more hidden args you can add some more hidden JSF components ids in the hidden h:commandButton execute attribute, that way their corresponding properties will be updated on server side...

js

$("#someId").click();

On the other side , if you want to use managed bean data in servlets that corresponds to your jQuery calls you can always access that JSF managed data, like this : JSF - get managed bean by name
