Question

I have a ToolBar which contain a number of button. these button must be a link to other xhtml pages. But they don’t work. This is my code :

         <h:form>
            <p:toolbar>  
                <p:toolbarGroup align="left">  
                    <p:commandButton id="btn1" type="button" action="faces/Genseignant" value="Gestion Enseignants" icon="ui-icon-folder-open" />  

                    <p:commandButton id="btn2" type="button" action="Gclasse" value="Gestion Classes" icon="ui-icon-folder-open" />  

                    <p:commandButton id="btn3" type="button" action="Getudiant" value="Gestion Etudiants" icon="ui-icon-folder-open" />

                    <p:commandButton id="btn4" type="button" action="Gmatiere" value="Gestion Matières" icon="ui-icon-folder-open" />

                    <p:commandButton id="btn5" type="button" action="Gsalle" value="Gestion Salles" icon="ui-icon-folder-open" />

                    <p:commandButton id="btn6" type="button" value="Gestion Horaires" icon="ui-icon-folder-open" />

                    <p:separator />  

                </p:toolbarGroup>  

                <p:toolbarGroup align="right">  
                    <p:menuButton value="Options">  
                        <p:menuitem value="Acceuil" action="Genseignant"/>  
                        <p:menuitem value="Déconnectté(e)" />  
                    </p:menuButton>  
                </p:toolbarGroup>  

            </p:toolbar>
        </h:form>

When I try this with a MenuBar, It works properly.
Any suggetions please .

Remove the type="button" attribute. Otherwise commandButtons cannot be used this way.

The difference is evident from the browser source:

This is the button with type="button":

<button id="myform:btn1" type="button" role="button" aria-disabled="false">

This is the button without type="button" which defaults to type="submit":

<button id="myform:btn1"   
        onclick="PrimeFaces.ab({formId:'myform',source:'myform:btn1',
                                process:'@all'}); return false;" 
        type="submit" role="button" 
        aria-disabled="false">
