I have never worked with the AJAX + JSF combo before, but I know that you can invoke a managed bean action using javascript and the h:commandLink and h:commandButton elements.
<h:form id="form1">
    <h:commandLink id="link1" action="#{MyBean.action1}"><h:outputText value="link" /></h:commandLink>
    <h:commandButton id="button1" action="#{MyBean.action2}" value="button" />
</h:form>
<f:verbatim><script>
    function myFunction() {
        document.getElementById('form1:link1').onclick(); // this invokes the #{MyBean.action1}
        document.getElementById('form1:button1').click(); // this invokes the #{MyBean.action2}
</script></f:verbatim>I haven't tried other ways yet. But this might give you an idea.
