Action method is not called the second time

Question

I am using templates, which in my main template I have a

<ui:include src="#{navBean.content}.xhtml">

My problem is that the action method of any bean, is not called having been run on the previous page . Here is an example where when you click the menu on the first page, an ajax call is made, the action method is executed and the page content loaded. By clicking the link on the loaded page(page1) the action method is not executed.

Config: jsf 2.2.9 | primefaces 5.1 | tomcat 8.0.3

template.xhtml

<div>
    <div>
        <h:form>
            <p:slideMenu>
                <p:submenu label="Cat 1">
                    <p:menuitem value="page1" action="#{navBean.changeMenuContent('page1')}" update=":change"/>
                    <p:menuitem value="bla"/> 
                </p:submenu>
            </p:slideMenu>
        </h:form>
    </div>
    <div>
        <h:form id="change">
            <ui:include src="/#{navBean.content}.xhtml"/>
        </h:form>
    </div>
</div>

navBean:

@ManagedBean(name = "navBean")
@RequestScoped
public class NavigationBean
{
    private String content = "index";
    public void changeMenuContent(String content)
    {
        setContent(content);
    }
    //get set...
}

page1.xhtml

<p:commandLink value="teste" action="#{navBean.changeMenuContent('page2')}" ajax="false"/>

The page2 has only one <p: outputLabel />, for test.

I've tried with p:commandLink and h:commandLink

Thanks!

Hi @VitorFreitas have you solved this? I'm with the same problem with commandButton. Using primefaces 5.0 jsf sun 2.2.4 — Jorge Campos, Mar 27 '15 at 14:51

Try add update=":change"on:

<p:commandLink value="teste" action="#{navBean.changeMenuContent('page2')}" ajax="false" update=":change />

See the changeMenuContent is void, so it does not cause page navigation.

So you need to run "update" manually.

See also, that your Bean is @RequestScope, therefore its contents are recreated on every request.

So the most recommended would change the Bean to @SessionScope, and:

<p:commandLink value="teste" actionListener="#{navBean.changeMenuContent('page2')}" update=":change />

I put as SessionScoped, and added the update, and had the same result as above. – Vitor Freitas Jan 19 '15 at 12:09
Changed action="" for actionListener="" ? – Douglas Nassif Roma Junior Jan 19 '15 at 12:12
In `p:commandLink` you added ajax ="false", but in `p:menuitem` not. – Douglas Nassif Roma Junior Jan 19 '15 at 12:13
I have just try the actionListener, and ajax="false" on , and not worked – Vitor Freitas Jan 19 '15 at 12:22
See, action="" should be used with ajax="false", and is most recommended for when page navigation occurs. And actionListener="" should be used with ajax="true" and is recommended for when there is no page navigation. So when you use actionListener, you need to run an update="" the components that need to be updated. – Douglas Nassif Roma Junior Jan 19 '15 at 12:25
declared navBean as application scope then try – Az.MaYo Jan 19 '15 at 13:14

Could you check your browser for any JS errors? Im getting a "TypeError: b is undefined" in Firebug while trying to replicate this issue. It seems to be related to Primefaces 5.x version. When i rollback to version 4.0 it works fine.
