p:command to submit a form in overlaypanel - jsf

I am trying to put a p:commandButton inside a overlayPanel, to submit the information of a h:form and redirect to another view. So, I use the property action of the button to perform this operation. I have a managed bean associated with this view but the function used for this purpose is never reached. Can u help me?
Here is the code:
advancedSearch-form.xhtml
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid width="100%">
<h:column>
....
</h:column>
....
<p:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{searchForm.save}">
</p:commandButton>
</h:panelGrid>
In another xhtml:
<h:form>
<div>
...
<div class="menu-search">
<p:commandButton id="advancedSearch" icon="ui-icon-carat-1-s" styleClass="ui-search-button" type="button"/>
<p:overlayPanel id="advancedSearchPanel" styleClass="ui-advanced-search-overlay" for="advancedSearch" hideEffect="fade" my="right top" dynamic="true" dismissable="false">
<ui:include src="/search/advancedSearch-form.xhtml"/>
</p:overlayPanel>
</div>
...
</div>

After looking over the properties of overlay, I solved this question by removing the dynamic property of overlaypanel.

use <p:commandbutton> in <p:datatable> to show a <p:dialog>

Hello I am trying to implement some primefaces commandbuttons in a p:datatable. My need is almost identical to this post:
f:setPropertyActionListener not invoked
Basically I need to have a column of buttons in a , click on one button will pass the object of the current row to the bean, and a dialog will pop out, showing some information of the chosen object.
The following is the relevant code:
<f:view>
<body>
<h:form id="theForm">
<p:dataTable id="testFailures" value="#{testDetails.report.failures}" var="failure"
styleClass="baseTable">
<p:column id="requestColumn">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Request" id="requestHeaderText" />
</f:facet>
<p:commandButton value="Detail" update="requestDialog"
oncomplete="PF('dlg1').show();" type="button">
<f:setPropertyActionListener
target="#{testDetails.selectedFailure}" value="#{failure}" />
</p:commandButton>
<h:message for="requestDialog" />
<p:dialog id="requestDialog" header="Request Dialog"
widgetVar="dlg1" dynamic="true">
<h:outputText value="#{selectedFailure.request}" />
</p:dialog>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</h:form>
<h:message for="theForm" />
<h:message for="responseDialog" />
<p:dialog id="responseDialog" header="Request Dialog"
widgetVar="dlg2" dynamic="true">
<h:form>
<h:outputText value="#{selectedFailure.request}" />
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
</body>
</f:view>
I tried to put the dialog in different positions (see my "dlg1" and "dlg2"). But neither works. No dialog showing. does not show anything either. And I don't see any error message in the browser's console window. (I think there is a exclamation warning).
I have tried debug mode, and set method for the property "selectedFailure" is not called.
Try to remove type="button" from your commandButton and it should work. Also dialogs should not be placed inside dataTables so the position of "dlg2" is more correct.

p:outputPanel does not render page sections

I have two p:ouputPanels which have the rendered attribute. They should be rendered when the value of the underlying getter/setter changes. However, the underlying values change in the right order. The first panel disappears, However the second panel does not show up. Even NOT in the HTML code!
My two panels:
<p:outputPanel id="PanelParent">
<h:form>
<p:outputPanel id="PanelForm" rendered="#{PageService.isVisibilityForm()}">
<h:commandButton value="Button"
action="#{PageService.persist}"
styleClass="btn btn-primary opal_btn submit_form_new" />
</h:form>
</p:outputPanel>
<p:outputPanel id="PanelMessage" rendered="#{PageService.isVisibilityMessage()}">
//Message
</p:outputPanel>
</p:outputPanel>
I appreciate your answer!!!
-UPDATE-
In the code, I reference to the persist method and in this method I change the getter and setter of the visibility for each section.
-UPDATE1-
OK here is in fact my code:
<p:outputPanel id="parentPanel">
<p:outputPanel id="PanelForm"
rendered="#{PageService.isVisibilityForm()}">
<div>
<div>
<h:form class="homepage_invitee_form" action="" method="POST">
<p:messages id="messages" showDetail="false" autoUpdate="true"
closable="true" />
<h:inputText required="true"
value="#{PageService.instance.name}"
name="name" placeholder="Last Name"
styleClass="lastname_new" id="lastname_new"
type="text placeholder" />
<h:commandButton value="Press"
action="#{PageService.persist()}"/>
<f:ajax render="" />
</h:commandButton>
</h:form>
</div>
</div>
</p:outputPanel>
<p:outputPanel id="PanelThank"
rendered="#{PageService.isVisibilityThank()}">
<div>
Message
</div>
</p:outputPanel>
</p:outputPanel>
I really do not see where it fails? ;(
It's like Xtreme Biker said <f:ajax> render attribute will render elements that are already present in the DOM. In your case, <p:outputPanel id="PanelThank"> render attribute was evaluating to false so it was not in the DOM. Therefore, <f:ajax> could not render it. You need to point to something that is always visible. Change
<f:ajax render="" />
to
<f:ajax render=":PanelThank" />
but more importantly change
<p:outputPanel id="PanelThank" rendered="#{PageService.isVisibilityThank()}">
<div>
Message
</div>
</p:outputPanel>
to
<p:outputPanel id="PanelThank">
<p:outputPanel rendered="#{PageService.isVisibilityThank()}">
<div>
Message
</div>
</p:outputPanel>
</p:outputPanel>
Consider refactoring your code also. For instance, action and method in <h:form> is not needed.
rendered attribute defines if JSF will render your component in the DOM tree. Your problem is you cannot update a component which is not in the tree because you simply don't have it:
<p:outputPanel id="PanelForm" rendered="#{PageService.isVisibilityForm()}">
//my Form
<p:outputPanel>
<!--Fails if not PageService.isVisibilityForm(), because you don't have the component itself in the tree! So can't find it-->
<p:ajax update="PanelForm"/>
Your best is to wrap your content in another container which is always rendered and update it instead of the other one:
<h:panelGroup id="updatablePanel">
<p:outputPanel rendered="#{PageService.isVisibilityForm()}">
//my Form
<p:outputPanel>
</h:panelGroup>
<p:ajax update="updatablePanel"/>

confirmDialog appears but disappears immediately

I have read similar questions on SA and the Primefaces forum but it did not help. Here is the xhtml:
<h:form id="form2" prependId="false">
<p:remoteCommand name="sendNameClicked" actionListener="#{reportBean.passName}"/>
<p:remoteCommand name="updateDialog" update=":form3:dialogBox"/>
<p:commandButton style="display: none" id="displayDialog" type="button" onclick="cd.show(); return false;"/>
</h:form>
<h:form id="form3">
<p:confirmDialog id ="dialogBox" message= "#{reportBean.getClickedAuthorLaius()}"
header="#{reportBean.nameClicked}#{reportBean.authorClicked.mostRecentAffiliation}"
widgetVar="cd"
severity="info"
>
<h:outputText styleClass="ui-widget" value="" escape="false" />
<p:commandButton value="Draw the ring of #{reportBean.obtainFullName()}?" actionListener ="#{controllerBean.prepareNewSearch()}" action ="index?faces-redirect=true" oncomplete="cd.hide();"/>
<p:commandButton value="No, stay on this page" onclick="cd.hide();" type="button" />
</p:confirmDialog>
</h:form>
Any help very much appreciated!
The onclick is fired before the form submit request is sent. The update is performed after form submit response is arrived. So, the confirm dialog is updated after it's been opened and thus get its default appearance again.
You need to open it after the update. Use the oncomplete attribute instead of onclick.
<p:commandButton ... oncomplete="cd.show()"/>

Primefaces commandButton only working on first entry of a carousel component

I use a Primefaces carousel component to display a list of items. What i would like to do is show a commandButton on every carousel item which triggers a method on the bean to confirm or decline the entry.
Now it works only for the first entry of the carousel. Clicking on another entry does not invoke the action confirmResource. I guess it has something to do with the IDs but i can't figure it out.
Here's the form:
<h:form id="form" prependId="false">
<p:carousel id="resourceCarousel" value="#{resourceRatingBean.resourceProposalList}" var="var" rows="1" itemStyle="width:500px; height: 400px; text-align:center;" circular="true">
<p:column>
<h:panelGrid columns="1" cellpadding="3">
<p:graphicImage value="/cache/images/#{var.imagePath}" width="100"/>
<h:outputText value="#{var.imagePath}" />
<h:outputText value="#{var.name}" />
<h:outputText value="#{var.description}" />
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton value="confirm" action="#{resourceRatingBean.confirmResource}" process="#this">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{var}" target="#{resourceRatingBean.ratedResource}" />
</p:commandButton>
</p:column>
</p:carousel>
</h:form>
I see two likely problems here:
The process="#this" is likely an issue as this will only invoke the process of the invoke the action of the commandButton and not the changes in the carousel component. Try setting this attribute to resourceCarousel or #form instead.
If you are still having issues and using JSF 2 + EL 2.2, then instead of depending on setPropertyActionListener to set the value of a managed property, then instead you can pass the argument var to an actionListener method through an EL expression.
Here is an example:
<p:commandButton value="confirm" actionListener="${resourceRatingBean.confirmResourceListener(var)}"
this="resourceCarousel" />

JSF 2 + Primefaces - Update Not Working

I'lve already searched, but even implementing the solutions I've found, I was not able to get this working. I select a row in a datatable and click on delete button to delete the selected object, but the object gets deleted but the datatable is not updated. Here's my code:
<h:form id="formPesquisa">
...
<h:panelGroup id="panelToRender" layout="block">
<h:panelGroup id="panelDataTable" rendered="#{not empty bean.dataList}" layout="block">
<div id="dataTableRegion">
<p:panel id="panelBtnsUp" styleClass="cleanPanel">
<ui:include src="/templates/btnDataList.xhtml" />
</p:panel>
<h:panelGroup id="panelTableHolder" layout="block">
<p:dataTable id="dataTableBusca" value="#{bean.dataList}" var="entidade"
rendered="#{not empty bean.dataList}" paginator="true" style="width:100%;"
selection="#{bean.entidadesSelecionadas}" onRowSelectUpdate="panelBtnsUp,panelBtnsDown,dataTableBusca"
onRowUnselectUpdate="panelBtnsUp,panelBtnsDown,dataTableBusca" rowUnselectListener="#{bean.rowUnselectListener}" selectionMode="multiple">
<p:column>
<p:graphicImage url="/icons/checkbox_no.png" rendered="#{!bean.containsSelection(entidade)}" />
<p:graphicImage url="/icons/checkbox_yes.png" rendered="#{bean.containsSelection(entidade)}" />
</p:column>
<ui:insert name="colunasPesquisa" />
</p:dataTable>
</h:panelGroup>
<p:panel id="panelBtnsDown" styleClass="cleanPanel">
<ui:include src="/templates/btnDataList.xhtml" />
</p:panel>
</div>
</h:panelGroup>
</h:panelGroup>
....
</h:form>
And the Delete Button is in the included file:
<div style="margin:5px 0;">
<p:commandButton value="#{msg['commons.excluir']}" image="delete" disabled="#{bean.disableDelete()}" action="#{bean.delete}" update="panelDataTable" />
<p:commandButton value="#{msg['commons.editar']}" image="edit" disabled="#{bean.disableEdit()}" action="#{bean.prepareEdit}" ajax="false" />
</div>
I already tried:
update="dataTableBusca"
update="panelTableHolder"
update="formPesquisa:dataTableBusca"
update="formPesquisa:panelTableHolder"
What am I doing wrong???
Thanks for any help.
The first two approaches will only work if your button and the updated elements are siblings.
For the third and the fourth approach you have to traverse all containing elements in order to get the right id. You panelTableHolder is inside two other h:panelGroup (panelToRender, panelDataTable) and a div (dataTableRegion).
Furthermore to make sure that you start from highest level, prepend a : before the form id.
Try this:
update=":formPesquisa:panelToRender:panelDataTable:dataTableRegion:panelTableHolder"
You could check in the rendered html if this is the correct path for your panelTableHolder.
