Escaped itemLabel for p:selectBooleanCheckbox - jsf

I have a question regarding the primefaces component p:selectBooleanCheckbox.
I have following code, which renders a simple boolean checkbox with its label.
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox id="agb" value="#{mobiFormF000001Model.agbChecked}" itemLabel="#{msgs['agb']}">
<f:ajax render="submit" />
</p:selectBooleanCheckbox>
Now my problem is, that in the label i have an URL, which now is escaped and my label looks like this:
Ich bestätige, dass ich die Angaben zum Datenschutz gelesen habe und diese akzeptiere.
Is there a way to get that part rendered as link?

Why don't you simply use <h:outputText> that has the escape property?
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox id="agb" value="#{mobiFormF000001Model.agbChecked}" >
<f:ajax render="submit" />
</p:selectBooleanCheckbox>
<h:outputText escape="false" value="#{msgs['agb']}" />

You can link a p:outputLabel to the checkbox and put any content in its body:
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{bean.value}"/>
<p:outputLabel for="#previous">
I agree to the terms and conditions
</p:outputLabel>

Invoking a text box and action method for several input text fields?

I'm new to jsf and not sure how to frame the question in a right way. I'm doing a name lookup functionality and my input form is as follows:
Accept input from a text field.(Backed by managed bean and
getters and setters)
Invoke the action using command button.
Display it back on the UI.
I'm not able to paste the entire code because of confidentiality.
<h:form>
<p:outputLabel value="ABC" />
<p:inputText id="a" value="#{mybean.variable}" size="10" />
<p:commandButton value="Check" actionListener="#{mybean.getName()}" update="name">
</p:commandButton>
<p:inputText id="name" value="#{mybean.Value}" />
</h:form>
The above mentioned works fine,However I have 5 input text fields and their corresponding action methods like as follows:
<p:outputLabel value="DEF" />
<p:inputText id="b" value="#{mybean.variable1}" size="10" />
<p:commandButton value="Check" actionListener="#{mybean.getName()}" update="name" >
</p:commandButton>
<p:inputText id="name" value="#{mybean.Value}" />
</h:form>
and so on.
When I put all the text boxes and their corresponding actions,the input is not passed to the backend and the console does not display anything.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

How to pass knowledge of what button was pressed to a p:dialog

I'm trying to help users fill in entity Id numbers on a submittal form. I can't use a pulldown because there are 1000's.
In a PF dialog, I'm able to copy a selected value to the main form but I'm hardcoding the actionaListener into the commandLink to tell the popup dialog which h:textInput box on the main form to copy the value to and to render. If I have three h:inputText boxes I would then need to duplicate three p:dialogs.
For example in my p:dialog I would have a column in the datatable as such:
<h:commandLink value="Select This Item" onclick="PF('dlg').hide()">
<f:ajax render=":myForm:text_field_1" event="click"
listener="#{bean.popDownId1(item.id)}" />
</h:commandLink>
How can I pass those variables myForm:text_field_1 (the form name and field) to the p:dialog so that it becomes a more generic popup dialog? Also is there a way to not have to code a listener method for each field (popDownId1, popDownId2, etc...)As a bonus I'd also like to externalize the dialog and include it in every xhtml page instead of cutting and pasting as I'm doing now.
Here is more actual code:
form.xhtml
<h:form id="myForm">
<h:panelGrid columns="3">
<p:outputLabel value="Manager Employee Number: " />
<h:panelGroup>
<p:inputText id="managerId"
title="Type Employee Id or click the ? to search for their Id"
value="#{bean.department.manager}" >
<f:validator validatorId="com.company.app.EmployeeIdValidator" />
</p:inputText>
<p:commandButton title="Click here if you don't know their Employee Number"
id="managerId" value="Lookup Id"
onclick="PF('dlgManager').show();" type="button" >
</p:commandButton>
other fields and submit button
</h:form>
<p:dialog id="popup" modal="false" widgetVar="dlgManager" dynamic="true" >
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Employee Number Finder" />
</f:facet>
<p>Search using any keyword.</p>
<h:form>
Keyword: <p:inputText id="search" value="#{employeeSearch.searchString}" />
<p:commandButton value="Search"
action="#{employeeSearch.searchByKeyword}">
<f:ajax execute="#form" render="output" />
</p:commandButton> (Enter keywords separated by spaces)
<p:dataTable id="output" var="employee" value="#{employeeSearch.employees}">
<p:column headerText="Action">
<h:commandLink value="Select" onclick="PF('dlgManager').hide()">
<f:ajax render=":myForm:managerId" event="click"
listener="#{bean.popDownManagerId(employee.id)}" />
</h:commandLink>
</p:column>
other columns(employee name, phone number, etc...)
</p:dialog>
you can see that I'd need to copy the dialog and tweak it a bit for every field on my form where I want to do an employee number lookup.
onclick="PF('dlgManager').show();">
onclick="PF('dlgSupervisor').show();">
onclick="PF('dlgFloorChief').show();">
EDIT
When applying BalusC's answer, if I add a second lookup Id button, the popup dialog to select an employee id has a command link which is tied to only the ManagerId field
action="#{bean.popDownManagerId(employee.id)}"
Also, when the second lookup id button is pressed the previous search results are still listed so the select command link would be referencing the wrong field to update
popup dialog

How to set inputText to required without affecting output label in Primefaces?

When I set an inputText to required, the the outputLabel I have associated with the inputText gets an asterisk added to it automatically. How do I prevent the asterisk from appearing?
<p:outputLabel value="Target Species" for="idInputText" />
<p:inputText id="idInputText" required="true" value="#{controller.string}"/>
I am using PrimeFaces 4.0
I would recommend using the plain JSF <h:ouputLabel… />
<h:outputLabel value="Target Species" for="idInputText" />
<p:inputText id="idInputText" required="true" value="#{controller.string}"/>
This removes the asterisk but keeps the label correctly associated with the input element. This is important for accessibility.
Not sure if this also works for 4, but it does for PrimeFaces 5.3: simply add indicateRequired="false". So:
<p:outputLabel value="Target Species"
for="idInputText"
indicateRequired="false"/>
<p:inputText id="idInputText"
required="true"
value="#{controller.string}"/>
Another option is to use css to hide the asterisk:
.ui-outputlabel-rfi { display: none; }
Then the label will still be associated with the input, and you can still use a Label Provider if you like:
http://cagataycivici.wordpress.com/2011/02/11/label-provider-for-jsf-input-components/
indicateRequired="true"
For example:
<p:inputText value="#{bean.firstName}" indicateRequired="true" required="true" requiredMessage="Name is required"/>
<p:outputLabel value="Target Species" for="idInputText" />
<p:inputText id="idInputText" required="true" value="#{controller.string}"/>
In your code ,you're specifically setting that label for inputText and this will have asterisk.
Remove "for" from outputLabel. It should look like :
<p:outputLabel value="Target Species" />
Now, you won't have asterisk .

p:selectOneMenu, custom content and editable=true

I have the following usage of the p:selectOneMenu:
<p:selectOneMenu id="selectField"
value="#{someBean.someField}"
converter="#{selectItemConverter}" var="x" editable="true">
<f:selectItems
value="#{selectItemsBean.getSelectItems(tab, field)}" var="si"
itemLabel="#{si.label}" itemValue="#{si}" />
<p:column>
<h:outputText value="#{si.label}" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<h:graphicImage library="images" name="noway_16x16.png"
title="#{si.disabledReason}" rendered="#{si.disabled}" />
</p:column>
<p:ajax event="change" update="#form" partialSubmit="true" process="selectField" />
</p:selectOneMenu>
As you can see, I use custom content in combination with editable=true. When I submit the form, the Converter gets the label of a selected item as the value, not the actual value. In the HTML page, the values are correct, e.g. <option value="C">C-style mounting</option>. With editable=false, the correct value (e.g. C is sent to the converter, with editable=true the converter retrieves C-style mounting.
What I want is that the user can either select one of the pre-defined items in the list and the server submits that value of the item OR the user enters something and that is submitted as value. But the current behavior is a bit strange - or am I just wanting too much?

Dynamically changing the visibility of the JSF components

My requirement is like this: I am having a text input and whenever a value change event occurs, a select many list box has to be populated. If there is no matching records found, then a text input has to appear instead of a select many list box.
<h:column>
<h:selectManyListbox size="3" value="#{hostInfoBean.gateKeeperendPointReference}" rendered="#{hostInfoBean.selectManyRendered}" id="gateKeeperendPointReference">
<f:selectItems value="#{hostInfoBean.gateKeeperendPointReferenceItems}" />
</h:selectManyListbox>
<h:inputText id="gateKeeperendPointReferenceText" size="30" rendered="#{!hostInfoBean.selectManyRendered}">
</h:inputText>
</h:column>
Also I am using a4j for the value change listener,
<a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="hostInfo:gateKeeperendPointReference" focus="GFacPath"
ajaxSingle="true" />
'selectManyRendered' is a boolean value which I am determining in the JAVA bean. The program works only for the default value of the boolean variable. If the boolean value is changed during runtime, then the toggle between the visibility of selectManyListbox and inputText is not working. Please help to fix this. Am i missing something?

Suresh
If the "rendered" attribute resolves to false, then the component isn't in your tree and can't be found as a "rerender" target. When you have components that are rendered conditionally you want to wrap them in a component that is always available as a target, like so:
<h:inputText value="#{myBean.text}" >
<a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="listZone" ajaxSingle="true" />
</h:inputText>
<h:panelGroup id="listZone">
<h:selectManyListbox value="#{myBean.list}" rendered="#{myBean.renderList}" >
<f:selectItems value="#{myBean.listItems}" />
</h:selectManyListbox>
<h:inputText size="30" rendered="#{!myBean.renderList}/>
<h:panelGroup id="listZone">
