I try to use multiple forms with JSF 2.0 in one page. I use PrimeFaces 3.0M1 and trying to build an application with tabs and one form per tab.

I’ve got a page like the following:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"                 
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" 
xmlns:fn="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" 
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui">

<div>
<p:tabView>
<p:tab title="Form1">
<h:form id="form1">
    <p:inputText id="txtInput" value="#{bean1.inputText}" />
    <p:commandButton title="Submit" value="Submit" actionListener="#{controller1.submitValues}">
</h:form>
</p:tab>
<p:tab title="Form2">
<h:form id="form2">
    <p:inputText id="txtInput2" value="#{bean2.inputText}" />
    <p:commandButton title="Submit" value="Submit" actionListener="#{controller2.submitValues}">
</h:form>
</p:tab>
</p:tabView>
</div>  
</html>

If I click on the submit button in tab 1, everything works like excpected.
But, if I click on the button at the second tab, the command will not be executed in controller2.

What is the problem here? If I bind the execution command of button2 to button1 the command in controller2 is executed correctly, so I can exclude that there is a problem in the backing beans.

How can I solve this?

    The Primefaces wizard and tabview components must be enclosed by a single form.

    There is no reason that you cannot have multiple Submit buttons within a tabview or wizard like this. Your confusion on this is likely because you concerned about the other properties of your managed bean that do not appear in the currently viewing tab.
