reRender a JSF1.2 componente programmatically

Question

Sometimes, I have to reRender some component in my applications (using JSF1.2 and RichFaces 3.3.2).

Is possible to do that programmatically in server side, or just the old school way, in client side?

Thanks.

Components are always rendered on the server (markup is then sent to the browser for DOM update). If you need to decide in runtime which components to re-render, you can do reRender=#{bean.compoentsToRender}
