Ques 2

How to send and ajax request?

There are different ways to send Ajax requests from your JSF page. For example you can use <a4j:commandButton>  ,  <a4j:commandLink><a4j:poll>   or  <a4j:support>  tags or any other.
All these tags hide the usual JavaScript activities that are required for an  XMHTTPRequest object building and an Ajax request sending. Also, they allow you to decide which components of your JSF page are to be re-rendered as a result of the Ajax response (you can list the IDs of these components in the  "reRender"  attribute).

What is a4j:status in RichFaces?

The a4j:status component is an indicator of an Ajax request. It has two states: start and stop. The start state indicates that an Ajax request is in progress. When an Ajax Response is returned, the component switches to the stop state. Give a loading progress on a ajax call:

<rich:modalPanel id="statusModalPanelId" autosized="true" resizeable="false">

        <h:graphicImage  value="/views/images/loading.gif"/>

        <a4j:status id="statusId" onstop="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('statusModalPanelId');">

                <f:facet name="start"></f:facet>

        </a4j:status>

 </rich:modalPanel>

What is rich:dataGrid in RichFaces?

The rich:dataGrid component accepts the same data sources as other iteration components and renders them in a grid format, the same way as the h:PanelGrid component does for in-line data. To define the grid's properties and styles, use the same definitions as for the h:panelGrid component.

<rich:dataGrid value="#{bean.allEmployees}" var="emp" columns="3" elements="9" width="600px" border="0">
      <rich:panel bodyClass="pbody">
       <f:facet name="header">
               <h:outputText value="#{emp.name} #{emp.code}"></h:outputText>
          </f:facet>
          <h:panelGrid columns="2">
               <h:outputText value="Salary:" styleClass="label"></h:outputText>
