I am facing a problem with commandButton, it is working only when the type is submit. Can someone take a look and let me know if there is a solution for that? The code below is very simple and does have the the propose to illustrate what I need. The method test() is not executed. Method runSubmit is executed successfully.
I need that test method is executed without a submit as the original page does have validations that are executed during the submit, test() method must be executed without a submit as it is a preliminary operation before of the submit.
I am using PrimeFaces 4.0, JDK 7, Tomcat 6 and JSF 2.0 (Apache), however I think it is happening in Mojarra as well.
SESSION:
package com.andre.bean;
public class AndreBean {
public void runSubmit() {
System.out.println("Submit executed");
}
public String test() {
System.out.println("Not submit executed");
return "true";
}
}
