Partial page update when navigating (PrimeFaces ajax)

Question

I have done a basic JSF app, using facelets templates. My template is as follows:

Answer 1

You can reload content by ajax, but URL will stay the same. If you can afford that, update the code as follows:

In template.xhtml, replace

<div id="content">

by

<h:panelGroup id="content" layout="block">

---

And in somepage.xhtml, replace

<p:commandButton value="Create entry" action="create" />

by

<p:commandButton value="Create entry" action="create" update=":content" />

---

Finally get rid of the <redirect /> (actually, prefer to get rid of all navigation cases since they make the faces-config.xml file bloated). A redirect can by the way also be specified in the outcome as in action="create?faces-redirect=true".

This does only not update the <title>. You could however do that with a simple JavaScript line.
