Web application using JSF-Front end and node.js-Back end

I'm planning to build a eCommerce web application(similar to http://zovi.com/) using JSF 1.2 and node.js. All front end components will be jsf components binding to backing bean. I want to achieve real time functionality ( such as displaying Today's hot sellers ,Customers who viewed this item also viewed such patterns) using node.js. And all data retrievals from database(MySQL)should be accomplished using node and display in JSF components. I'm confused in how to bind data that i get from node to corresponding managed bean property(since i bound it to corresponding JSF component). Hope you understand this context. Please suggest some solutions.

And I heard performance of Node.js is efficient only for small web applications not for Enterprise level. Is my approach correct??

I would stick to a Java EE or Node.js application. I don't see any benefits from combining these two technologies. To run a JSF application (I would recommend JSF2 instead of 1.2) you have to run a Java Application Server, which is great system resources consumer. So in the end you will have to run Node.js and Java server at the same time... But if you would insist on using both technologies, the web services like REST API will be a solution. Never used Node.js, but what I heard of it has much better performance compared to Java App. servers.
