have to press command button twice

Question

I\'m working on building a web page and notice now that I have to press the command button twice. Any command button has the same problem, so I figured I would add and actio

Answer 1

That can happen when a parent component of the given has been rendered/updated by another command button/link with . The given form will then lose its view state which it would only get back after submitting the form for the first time. Any subsequent submits will then work the usual way. This is caused by a bug in JSF JS API as descibred in JSF issue 790 which is fixed in the upcoming JSF 2.2.

You need to fix the another command button/link with to explicitly include the client ID of the given in the render.

Another way is to replace this by a PrimeFaces or so that you don't need to explicitly include the client ID of all the forms. PrimeFaces's own JS API has namely already incorporated this fix.
