Question

I have a button in primefaces, that when is pressed I make some calculations and a new panel should appear showing the results.
I have the code

<p:commandButton value="Submit"
        ajax="false" actionListener="#{myBean.search}" oncomplete="panelwv.show();">
    </p:commandButton>

    <p:panel widgetVar="panelwv" visible="false" closable="true"
        toggleable="true">

So, when the button is clicked, the MyBean.search method is called, and when is finished I want the panel “panelwv” to appear, but it does not.
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

Answer 1

oncomplete can only be executed if ajax is true. Otherwise the whole page is reloaded. You will probably also want to update the contents of your panel by giving it an id and setting the update property of the command button to this id.
