I have minimized my code to better show you what is not working.
<h:body>
<f:view>
<h:form id="wbSelectForm">
<p:commandButton id="viewWorkbenchButton" icon="ui-icon-show"
title="View Workbench" update=":wbTestPanel"
actionListener="#{WorkbenchControllerBean.test}">
</p:commandButton>
</h:form>
<p:panel id="wbTestPanel">
Test: Active Wb: #{WorkbenchControllerBean.number}
</p:panel>
</f:view>
</h:body>
When i press the commandButton, i would expect that 'wbTestPanel' is being updated, which does somehow NOT happen. I know that because WorkbenchControllerBean.getNumber() is not called.
I am using primefaces 3.5. I already tried differend values for 'process'-attribute as well as putting RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().update("wbTestPanel")
in WorkbenchControllerBean.test()-method.
I think that maybe the code is right, but there are any settings in the project or runtime environment (Java 7 + JBoss 7.1.1) that prevent primefaces from updating the other panel. Could you please give me a hint what to search for?
Thanks in advance!
