p:watermark clears on updating Component even if there is no value - jsf

I'm using Primefaces p:watermark on a p:inputText. Its working fine.
When ever I update the component its loosing watermark,even when there is no content inside the p:inputText
<h:form id="reg_frm">
<p:inputText id="name" value="#{user.name}"/>
<p:watermark value="your name" for="name" id="name_watermark" />
<p:selectOneMenu value="#{user.drpvalue}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="One" itemValue="1"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="two" itemValue="2"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="three" itemValue="3"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="four" itemValue="4"/>
<p:ajax event="change" update="name name_watermark"/>
</p:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>
How do I retain the Watermark when there is no content in the
p:inputText after update?
Note: Primefaces version - 3.5

According to the PrimeFaces showcase for watermarks: "Watermark displays a hint about input fields by using native placeholder in supported browsers and a javascript solution in others browser compatibility."
PrimeFaces probably adds some hidden javascript stuff to the element which is a parent of both components (input and watermark). In your case that's the form which you would need to update. If you don't want that, put a new panelgroup around both elements and update that, which will have the same effect.

Try this attribute:
oncomplete="PrimeFaces.showWatermarks()"
It was given in Primefaces User's Guide.

p:selectOneMenu and parameterizable noSelectionOption (required = true), hideNoSelectionOption missing [duplicate]

I have the following selectOneMenu and within of my component I want to have an item which shouldn't be shown, for e.g. in cases where the value from #{Mybean.value} match a value from #{Mybean.ListValues} I don't want to have an empty option in my combo box .
<p:selectOneMenu value="#{Mybean.value}" hideNoSelectionOption="true"
required="true" requiredMessage="Required data">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="" itemValue="#{null}" noSelectionOption="true" />
<f:selectItems value="#{Mybean.ListValues}" var="option" itemLabel="#{option.optionName}"
itemValue="#{option.optionId}"/>
</p:selectOneMenu>
I searched, but I didn't find anything useful, just one link in primefaces forum where describes exactly this problem.
My primefaces version is 3.5
Edit: it is supported from version 9 and on, see the other answer.
That attribute doesn't exist in the official api or in the doc. Where did you get it from?
What you're actually looking for is the itemDisabled attribute on the f:selectItems component. It's this attribute that disables a selectItem from being selected. Historically, primefaces has had problems with that attribute.
Ideally, you should have
<p:selectOneMenu value="#{Mybean.value}" required="true" requiredMessage="Required data">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="" itemValue="#{null}" noSelectionOption="true" />
<f:selectItems itemDisabled="#{Mybean.value=='aValue'}" value="#{Mybean.ListValues}" var="option" itemLabel="#{option.optionName}" itemValue="#{option.optionId}"/>
</p:selectOneMenu>
hideNoSelectionOption implemented in PrimeFaces 9.0

So, basically and based on #kolossus answer, we can in primefaces (when you are using <p:selectOneMenu...) case add the following empty item
<f:selectItem itemValue="#{null}" itemLabel="--select--" itemDisabled="#{Mybean.value ne null}" />
We can in primefaces (when we have to use
Note: In such case we don't need the following two tags:
hideNoSelectionOption="true"
and
noSelectionOption="true"

JSF Trinidad Rendering not working

I have a requirement, where selection of an item from one drop down, triggers the displays for another drop down. So i used a autosubmit on the 1st dropdown and valueChange Listener which set the flags for displaying the 2nd drop down.Thought the flag is set to true, the 2nd drop down is not getting rendered. Is this a right way to do, am i missing some thing here.
I am testing this in tomcat using trinidad 2.0.1 and JSF Core 2.0.2. Any help on this is highly appreciated
<h:form>
<tr:panelFormLayout labelWidth="30%">
<tr:selectOneChoice id="prior" value="#{render.priority}"
label="Priority" immediate="true" autoSubmit="true"
valueChangeListener="#{render.valueChanged}"
unselectedLabel="..Please select a priority">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Low" itemValue="1" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Medium" itemValue="2" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="High" itemValue="3" />
</tr:selectOneChoice>
</tr:panelFormLayout>
<tr:panelGroupLayout partialTriggers="prior"
rendered="#{render.displayInput}">
<tr:outputLabel value="Testing"></tr:outputLabel>
</tr:panelGroupLayout>
</h:form>
Is this your whole code? You would be missing some tags
<tr:document>
<tr:form>
........
</tr:form>
</tr:document>

<tr:form> instead of <h:form>

JSF SelectOneMenu Browser Back Button

I have a problem where I am using a SelectOneMenu for navigation:
<p:selectOneMenu value="#{navigator.outcome}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Select item.." />
<f:selectItems value="#{navigator.menuItems}" />
<p:ajax event="change" listener="#{navigator.navigate}" />
</p:selectOneMenu>
This works fine except when I navigate back it doesnt display "Select Item.."
The navigator bean is request scoped (I've tried view scoped as well).
I've disabled caching using a WebFilter.
You need to turn autocomplete off at the form level.
With JSF 2.1 you cannot do this.
Either wait until JSF 2.2 or uses omnifaces:

<p:selectOneMenu> getting null on submit/next

I am using primefaces wizard. During wizard flow all parameters saved correctly . However <p:selectOneMenu> items getting NULL on submit.Also on 'back', it will not show what I have selected. Same for <p:selectManyMenu> also. Any solution ?
Here is the code snippets.I'm using primefaces-3.0.M3 and jsf2.
<h:outputText value="Employee Status" />
<p:selectOneMenu id="employeeStatus"value="#{employeeRepositoryImpl.employeeStatus.title}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Select One" itemValue="" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Permanent" itemValue="Permanent" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Contract" itemValue="Contract" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Part-Time" itemValue="Part-Time" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Training" itemValue="Training" />
</p:selectOneMenu>
<p:message id="employeeStatusId" for="employeeStatus" />
This is in a <p:wizard> tab, while clicking next button or submit button, the itemValues getting null.Sorry for the re-post.
Have you deleted the previous post?
Anyway, firstly, you should upgrade to Primefaces 3.0.M4!
Secondly, it would be better to use a list along with f:selectItems and all those String values to be stored in a list(this way you have more control over what's in the list and what should the list return), but if you want to stick with f:selectItem try using it with the enclosing tag (it may be a bug without it):
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Permanent" itemValue="Permanent" ></f:selectItem>
Also, I repeat myself, upgrade to Primefaces 3.0.M4!
I have solved it by using primefaces AJAX
<p:ajax update="employeeStatus" listener="#{employeeRepositoryImpl.employeeStatusAjax}" />
inside my </p:selectOneMenu> and I check/process this in side employeeStatusAjax().
