f:setPropertyActionListener doesn't set the value however action is triggered

Question

I need to set a boolean field whenever p:fieldset is toggled. I tried out following code but the field is never set by f:setPropertyActionListener although p:ajax

Answer 1

The works as being an ActionListener implementation only on components implementing ActionSource interface, such as UICommand, i.e. , , etc. The does not implement this interface and therefore the is basically completely ignored.

As to your workaround, you could do so although I'd rather just use a concrete view scoped bean or wrap it in a composite with a backing component.
