Question

I tried something like this:

<p:commandButton type="push" value="Ack" disabled="false"
    oncomplete="bean.method2()" update=":form:alarmTable"
    action="#{bean.method1()}"

But method2 does not invoke, otherwise:

<p:commandButton type="push" value="Ack" disabled="false"
    oncomplete="alert('onComplete')" update=":form:alarmTable"
    action="#{bean.method1()}"

works as expected.

I want to implement next chain of action: method1 – update – method2.
How do to that?

As everyone else agrees, you probably shouldn’t be trying to call a method in your view. What you should do is call your method2 from method1 in your backer.

example:

public void method1() {
  // do stuff
  method2();
}

public void method2() {
  // do stuff
}
