a4j:commandButton doesn't work with <ui:include>

[navier98]

Hi:

I'm having problem to make a4j:commandButton to work (going to the action method) on a page ajax loaded with <ui:include>.  In JSF 2.0 the javax.faces.FULL_STATE_SAVING_VIEW_IDS may help to solve the problem but I'm using JSF 1.2 with Richfaces 3.3.  Any solution to this problem is really appreciated.  This can be easily reproduced by using the rich-examples.  In the tabs example, add <ui:include> to include another page such as the ones in the select examples for all 3 tabs.  The includeded pages don't work correctly when switching tabs.

thanks!!

may be you forgot about h:form (or a4j:form)? buttons won't work without form

Do you need to use a4j:include?

Thanks for responding.  Yes, the a4j:commandButton is in a a4j:form, and I tried to change <ui:include> to <a4j:include> but the button behaved the same.

Hi, I've never used RF 3/JSF 1.x but I've seen it suggested that you can use a pattern such as

this which has to be worth a try:

<a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">

  <a4j:include viewId=" ... " />

</a4j:outputPanel>

As you point out in your OP in JSF 2 you can't get a dynamic ui:include working with partial

state saving, so you need to disable it (at minimum) on a per view basis as you suggest. But

having done this I've been able to get it working successfully.

Thanks! Brendan.  I'll give that a try.
