                                    #{stringBean.doctorToString(d)}
                                </p:column>
                            </p:selectOneMenu>
                            <p:message id="doctorMessage" for="doctor"/>
                        </h:panelGrid>
                    </div>
                    <div style="margin-top:20px;">
                        <p:commandButton value="Link" action="#{linkDoctorBean.submit()}" update="doctorMessage" process="@all"/>
                        <h:link value="Cancel" outcome="/pages/cpanel/manage-doctors" style="margin-left:10px;"/>
                    </div>
                </h:form>
            </ui:define>
        </ui:composition>
    </h:body>
</html>

When I add ajax="false" to the <p:commandButton/>, it works just fine – the linkDoctorBean.submit() method is called.

With ajax enabled, however, the action method will be called if the form never fails validation in the current view, but if the form fails validation once and is subsequently submitted, the error message is cleared, but the submit() method is never called.

Edit:
I also tried replacing the p:commandButton with this:

<h:commandButton value="Link" action="#{linkDoctorBean.submit()}">
    <f:ajax execute="@all" render="doctorMessage"/>
</h:commandButton>

The behaviour is exactly the same. In both cases, the validation message appears to be cleared when a valid option is submitted. So the update/render is happening, just not the process/execute. All subsequent attempts fail to execute the action, so the form is effectively dead until the next time the page is loaded.

Edit:
This doesn’t seem to be a PrimeFaces issue. Here’s the form without PrimeFaces:

    <h:form id="form">
        <div>
            <h:panelGrid columns="2">
                <h:selectOneMenu id="doctor"
                                 value="#{linkDoctorBean.doctor}"
                                 converter="#{doctorConverter}"
                                 style="width:200px;"
                                 required="true"
                                 requiredMessage="Please select a doctor"
                                 validator="#{linkDoctorBean.validateDoctor}">
                    <f:selectItem itemLabel="Select a doctor" itemValue="#{null}" noSelectionOption="true"/>
                    <f:selectItems value="#{linkDoctorBean.doctors}" var="doctor" itemLabel="#{stringBean.doctorToString(doctor)}" itemValue="#{doctor}"/>
                </h:selectOneMenu>
                <h:message id="doctorMessage" for="doctor"/>
            </h:panelGrid>
        </div>
        <div style="margin-top:20px;">
            <h:commandButton value="Link" action="#{linkDoctorBean.submit()}">
                <f:ajax execute="@form" render="doctorMessage"/>
            </h:commandButton>
            <h:link value="Cancel" outcome="/pages/cpanel/manage-doctors" style="margin-left:10px;"/>
        </div>
    </h:form>

There are some minor differences now, such as required and the place-holder select item’s value being null. Perhaps it would be best to focus on what might be going wrong with this latest snippet and forget PrimeFaces for a moment.

In case it helps, here’s the DoctorConverter class:

@Named("doctorConverter")
@RequestScoped
public class DoctorConverter implements Converter, Serializable
{
    @Override
    public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value)
    {
        UIInput in = (UIInput) component;
        String s = in.getSubmittedValue() != null ? in.getSubmittedValue().toString() : "";

        try
        {
            long doctorId = Long.parseLong(s);
            Doctor doctor = doctorDao.findByDoctorId(doctorId);
            if (doctor == null)
            {
                throw new Exception("Doctor not found.");
            }
            return doctor;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            throw new ConverterException(new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "Please enter a valid doctor", null), e);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value)
    {
        if (value == null || value.toString().length() == 0)
        {
            return "";
        }
        Doctor doctor = (Doctor) value;
        return doctor.getDoctorId().toString();
    }

    @EJB
    private DoctorDao doctorDao;
}

Edit:
… and here are a couple of methods from the Doctor entity class:

@Override
public int hashCode()
{
    int hash = 0;
    hash += (doctorId != null ? doctorId.hashCode() : 0);
    return hash;
}

@Override
public boolean equals(Object object)
{
    if (!(object instanceof Doctor))
    {
        return false;
    }
    Doctor other = (Doctor) object;
    if ((this.doctorId == null && other.doctorId != null) || (this.doctorId != null && !this.doctorId.equals(other.doctorId)))
    {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Edit:
As discussed in comments, DoctorConverter.getAsObject is called three times. Here are the stack traces for the three calls in order:

And here’s the current form in the JSF page:

<h:form id="form">
    <!-- Validating here instead of at the selectOneMenu level due to its invalidity not being cleared. -->
    <div style="clear:both;">
        <h:panelGrid columns="2">
            <h:selectOneMenu id="doctor"
                             value="#{linkDoctorBean.doctor}"
                             converter="#{doctorConverter}"
                             converterMessage="Please select a doctor"
                             style="width:200px;"
                             required="true">
                <f:selectItem itemLabel="Select a doctor" itemValue="" noSelectionOption="true"/>
                <f:selectItems value="#{linkDoctorBean.doctors}" var="doctor" itemLabel="#{stringBean.doctorToString(doctor)}" itemValue="#{doctor}"/>
            </h:selectOneMenu>
            <p:message id="doctorMessage" for="doctor"/>
        </h:panelGrid>
    </div>
    <div style="margin-top:20px;">
        <h:commandButton value="Link" action="#{linkDoctorBean.submit()}">
            <f:ajax execute="@form" render="doctorMessage"/>
        </h:commandButton>
        <h:link value="Cancel" outcome="/pages/cpanel/manage-doctors" style="margin-left:10px;"/>
    </div>
</h:form>

Edit:
Removed <f:ajax/> and DoctorConverter.getAsObject is still being called three times.

    Your converter is broken. It has to convert the value based on the value argument, not the UIInput#getSubmittedValue(). The noSelectionOption value is namely also passed through the converter (as the 3rd trace hints). If your real submitted value equals the noSelectionOption value, then the value is considered as not valid, hence the validation error.

    I also suggest other minor rewrites; empty strings should be nulls.

    @Override
public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object modelValue) {
    if (modelValue == null) {
        return "";
    }

    if (modelValue instanceof Doctor) {
        Long id = ((Doctor) modelValue).getId();
        return (id != null) ? String.valueOf(id) : null;
    } else {
        throw new ConverterException(new FacesMessage(modelValue + " is not a valid Doctor"));
    }
}

@Override
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String submittedValue) {
    if (submittedValue == null || submittedValue.isEmpty()) {
        return null;
    }

    try {
        Long id = Long.valueOf(submittedValue);
        return doctorService.find(id);
    } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
        throw new ConverterException(new FacesMessage(submittedValue + " is not a valid Doctor ID"));
    }
}

    Note that I have this in my web.xml as well:

    <context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>

    Update: as per the comments, thanks to <h:messages/> there turns out to be something else which is been required. Finally it turns out to be a <f:viewParam required="true"> which is been reinvoked on ajax postback. To prevent this, instead use 

    <f:viewParam ... required="#{not facesContext.postback}" />
