Just check the dropdown menu's value in the rendered attribute of the target components and update their common parent by a . Here's a kickoff example:

    
    
    
    



    
        You have selected "one".
    
    
        You have selected "two".
    
    
        You have selected "three".
    

If you'd like to perform some business logic based on the selected value, use .

public void changeItem() {
    someResult = someService.getByItem(item);
}
