Question

I’m using JSF Primefaces 3.0.M3. When I submit (Save) a form some of the items on the text boxes are not disappearing as well. Given is the code -userName and password is still there-after form submission. Can you suggest any issue?

              </p:wizard 
           <h:commandButton value="Submit"
              actionListener="#{employeeRepositoryImpl.save}" immediate="true">                  
           </h:commandButton>

        </h:form>

The userName,password,confirmPassword entered is not disappearing even after the form submission.Attached is a screen shot after form submission.

Well, have you tried reset all the fields after submit? Once you have inserted them in DB, try re-initialize them to 0/null.

Also if you’re having trouble with browser autocomplete form then see the Primefaces autocomplete attribute of inputText tag. Please read the Primefaces User Guide.
