How to create correct ajax4jsf navigation menu?

Following code redirect to Next page, but not as part of <a4j:outputPanel id="p">.

<a4j:outputPanel id="menu">
 <h:form id="form">
 <a4j:commandLink value="press me" reRender="p" action="#{PageBean.next}">

 </a4j:commandLink>
 </h:form>
</a4j:outputPanel>
...
<a4j:outputPanel id="p">
 <h:outputText value="Lalalalal" />
</a4j:outputPanel>

The action method #{PageBean.next} should return null if you want to have an Ajax Response on Ajax Request

Also, as soon as your menu located outside of the form, it is right to use reRender=":p" instead of just reRender="p"

[andersun]

PageBean.next return "news" for example

facesConfig file:

<navigation-rule>
 <from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
 <navigation-case>
 <from-outcome>news</from-outcome>
 <to-view-id>/news.jsp</to-view-id>
 </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

news.jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<h:outputText value="News" />
...

How can do that news page render directly in <a4j:outputPanel id="b"> on click "press me"

Current code throws

SEVERE: Component org.ajax4jsf.framework.ajax.AjaxViewRoot is no ValueHolder, cannot set value.

[sergeysmirnov]

If the action method returns the existing action outcome, the whole page should be refreshed. Ie. Ajax4jsf works in "Ajax Requests generates Non-Ajax Response" mode.
So, it works like it should work according to your description. However, I guess, not according to your expectation.

I am not sure I understand your whole use case correctly tomake some suggestion. Could you say more, please.

[andersun]

I want to create menu:

In left part of page - menu
In right - context

When clicking link - loading context page without reloading header, menu, footer etc

Clicking another link - loading another context....

[sergeysmirnov]

do you use facelets? I am asking because if you use it, you can do the required behavior manipulating with ui:include feature without using the navigation from faces-context

In contrast, we have an a4j:include component that allows to use the navigation inside the page, but it requires the command component to be inside the a4j:include. It does not match your use case perfectly .

[andersun]

I don't use facelets, but if no facility to create navigation with <a4j:include>, how can i do it with facelets?

Sergey, can you type please a short example with facelets

[andersun]

People!! Anybody knows how to implement aforesaid navigation with ajax4jsf + facelets or without facelets... (!!! without reloading whole page)

[andersun]
