Primefaces p:ajax and remoteCommand does not update growl messages

Question

In the following example, I modify a datatable using p:ajax then use remoteCommand to update the table. That works. However, I would also like to update growl msgs in the event of an error or success. That doesn't work.

I see from the examples if a button calls an action, then calls remoteCommand, the growl msgs update. However, that won't give me what I need from the ajax cellEdit in a datatable.

How can I update the growl messages from a p:ajax command.

            <p:remoteCommand name="onCellEditRemote" update="wordsId msgs"/>

            <p:dataTable id="wordsId" var="word" value="#{remoteMessageBean.words}" editable="true" editMode="cell">
                <!-- does not update msgs -->
                <p:ajax event="cellEdit" listener="#{remoteMessageBean.modifyWordOnCellEdit}"  oncomplete="onCellEditRemote()" update="formId:msgs"/>

                <p:column headerText="Modify" >

                </p:column>
                <p:column headerText="Modify" >

        return modifyWord;
    }

    public void setModifyWord(String modifyWord) {
        this.modifyWord = modifyWord;
    }

    public List<String> getWords() {

Your `onCellEditRemote` remote command does not call anything, so most likely therefor won't update anything. Check network traffic — Kukeltje, Jul 23 '16 at 07:47

I worked around the problem by creating and saving message in modifyWordOnCellEdit then calling displayMessageAction from remoteCommand to display it. Not exactly what I was hoping for but it works.

Jsf Page

 <p:remoteCommand name="onCellEditRemote" update="wordsId" action="#{gameBean.displayMessageAction}"/>

Controller

   public void displayMessageAction() {
        if (getMessage() != null) {
            FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage("growl", getMessage());
            setMessage(null);
        }
    }

    public void modifyWordOnCellEdit(CellEditEvent event) {
    ...
        FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, exception.getMessage(), null);
        setMessage(msg);
    }

Wrong, pure whitespace (no comma) is allowed to and in plain jsf even the only valid value – Kukeltje Jul 23 '16 at 07:42
Try this: – Guru Bala Jul 23 '16 at 10:32
partialSubmit is a boolean true/false not a js function – SiMag Jul 23 '16 at 10:46
Please read the about partialSubmit: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7281379/what-is-the-difference-between-partialsubmit-and-autosubmit-in-jsf – Guru Bala Jul 23 '16 at 11:34

Wrong again... And please don't fundamentally change your original answer. All comments are out of context then. Create a new one answer then. And please learn the technology for which you create answer – Kukeltje Jul 23 '16 at 17:48
