Update component after file download

Question

I\'m using Primefaces TabView, CommandButton and FileDownload to download a log file. Once the log file has been downloaded, I want to offer the option to delete the content

Answer 1

p:commandButton in your case is (an has to be) non-AJAX button (you set this by adding ajax="false" attribute). In that case update attribute and p:ajax tag doesn't have any sense (as they are only for AJAX requests). When you have file download your application sends streaming of some type, and you see Save File dialog. Your page is not refreshed. So you have to use PrimeFaces.monitorDownload to do this:

and add stop function which will update second button:
