Answer 1

Unlike Richfaces where you can directly call javascript function, primefaces you need to have javascript function as:

function_name(xhr, status, args)

Using listed CommandButton as Example:

In function test.testfxn() we have:

public void testfxn(){    
RequestContext reqCtx = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
        i = i++;
        reqCtx.addCallbackParam("i", i);
}

Here,In function call to backing bean from actionlistener the variables are added to RequestContext.

Now In javascript function:

function draw(xhr, status, args) {
    console.log("We are into draw function");
    jsonString = JSON.parse(args.i); //json variable is taken out from args variable.
    console.log("The value of i "+ i);
}
