<f:ajax event> not working with <ui:composition template=""> - jsf

i have a weird problem and i can't know the main cause, i have these login page, which uses <f:ajax event=""> to validate username and password:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head></h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid columns="3">
Name:
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{validateBean.name}"
validator="#{validateBean.validateName}">
<f:ajax event="blur" render="nameError" />
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="name" id="nameError" style="color:red" />
Password:
<h:inputText id="password" value="#{validateBean.password}"
validator="#{validateBean.validatePassword}">
<f:ajax event="blur" render="passwordError" />
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="password" id="passwordError" style="color:red" />
<h:commandButton value="Login" action="# {validateBean.login}" />
</h:panelGrid>
these JSF works properly, but the problem appears when i place the same above components under a <ui:composition template=""> inorder to use these page with a template
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<ui:composition template="/WEB-INF/Templates/BasicTemplate.xhtml">
<ui:define name="content">
<center>
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid columns="3">
Name:
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{validateBean.name}"
validator="#{validateBean.validateName}">
<f:ajax event="blur" render="nameError" />
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="name" id="nameError" style="color:red" />
Password:
<h:inputText id="password" value="#{validateBean.password}"
validator="# {validateBean.validatePassword}">
<f:ajax event="blur" render="passwordError" />
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="password" id="passwordError" style="color:red" />
<h:commandButton value="Login" action="# {validateBean.login}" />
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</center>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
</html>
for more clarity, here's the jsf template page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<head>
<title><ui:insert name="title">Default title</ui:insert></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<ui:insert name="header">
<ui:include src="header.xhtml"/> // normal page contains plain text
</ui:insert>
</div>
<div id="content">
<ui:insert name="content">
Content area. See comments below this line in the source.
</ui:insert>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<ui:insert name="footer">
<ui:include src="footer.xhtml"/> // normal page contains plain text
</ui:insert>
</div>
</body>
</html>
when i tried the later approach the AJAX action doesn't fire at all, please any one explain to me why that happens??

You used <head> instead of <h:head> in your master template. This way JSF is unable to auto-include the required jsf.js JavaScript file for the ajax works.
Fix it accordingly:
<html ...>
<h:head>
...
</h:head>
<h:body>
...
</h:body>
</html>

doctype not rendered in JSF "master" template

As the subject said, the needed doctype is not rendered in my JSF pages. My used versions:
Payara Server Payara Server 4.1.2.181 #badassfish (build 220)]]
Mojarra 2.3.3 ( 20171008-2230 673408fa9199477d87f44521ff873d709128c88b)
PrimeFaces 6.2 ("official" version)
I already tried the bundled (2.2.14/13/15?) version, no change, so I upgraded to 2.3.3 from github (official release).
In my entire project I have only one doctype and that is in my "master" template:
base.tpl:

Many JSF pages looks like this:
some_guest_page.xhtml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ui:composition template="/WEB-INF/templates/guest/guest_base.tpl"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core">
<ui:define name="guest_title">
<h:outputText value="#{msg.PAGE_TITLE_INDEX_FOO}" />
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="content_header">
<h:outputText value="#{msg.CONTENT_TITLE_INDEX_FOO}" />
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="content">
<!-- #TODO Here goes your content. //-->
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
The mentioned guest_base.tpl is a layer beetween the actual page and my "master" template:
guest_base.tpl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ui:composition
template="/WEB-INF/templates/base.tpl"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html">
<ui:define name="document_title">
<ui:insert name="document_guest_title">
<h:outputText value="Default guest title" />
</ui:insert>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="menu">
<ui:fragment rendered="#{featureController.isFeatureEnabled('guest_menu')}">
<ui:include src="/WEB-INF/templates/guest/guest_menu.tpl" />
</ui:fragment>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="footer">
<ui:include src="/WEB-INF/templates/guest/guest_footer.tpl" />
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
Any ideas on how to fix this is warmly welcome. :-)
UPDATE:
Fixed base.tpl slightly. Now at least the locale is being correctly loaded again. f:view seems to also cover at least h:head, h:body and f:loadBundle which makes sense:
f:view component sets the locale
f:loadBundle loads the with the set locale associated message bundle
But now, still the major problem, no doctype, is still present.

p:message not rendered

I'm using an old version of Primefaces (3.5) in my project and I'm struggling with a problem for 2 days now. The problem is the following:
I have a template, in which I insert an UI. In this UI, I have a TabView, in which I include an xhtml.
I need to check if some inputText fields, set as required, were left blank after a tab change, and if they were, a message must appear under those fields. For that, I'm using <p:message> but it's not working and I can't find the reason. I inspected the page, and found out that the <p:message> field is not being rendered... and I've tried everything and googled for solutions, but to no avail.
Any ideas on how to solve this? (check the above example with <p:message for="test_name" />)
Thanks!

I got the error. All my template pages were using composition and each had its own head tag. While this worked with glassfish, wildfly did not allow it.
Removing head from all but the base template and making the base template not a composition solved this

JSF templating - header doesn't show while faces-redirect is not set as "true" Primefaces

I am writing a simple page using JSF and Primefaces.
This is my template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head>
<p:layout fullPage="true">
<p:layoutUnit position="north" header="North - header" style="font-size: 15px;">
<h:form>
<ui:include src="header.xhtml"/>
</h:form>
</p:layoutUnit>
<p:layoutUnit position="west" header="West - menu" style="font-size: 15px;">
<h:form>
<ui:include src="menu.xhtml"/>
</h:form>
</p:layoutUnit>
<p:layoutUnit position="center" header="Center - content" style="font-size: 15px;">
<ui:insert name="content"/>
</p:layoutUnit>
<p:layoutUnit position="east" header="East - nothing" style="font-size: 15px;">
</p:layoutUnit>
<p:layoutUnit position="south" header="South - footer" style="font-size: 15px;">
<ui:include src="footer.xhtml"/>
</p:layoutUnit>
</p:layout>
</h:head>
<h:body>
</h:body>
</html>
I have made simple menu:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head>
<title>Simple JSF Facelets page</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<ui:composition>
<p:menu>
<p:submenu label="Main">
<p:menuitem value="Show main" action="glowna?faces-redirect=true"/>
<p:menuitem value="Show resultPage" action="resultPage?faces- redirect=true"/>
<p:menuitem value="Pictures" action="obrazek?faces-redirect=true"/>
</p:submenu>
</p:menu>
</ui:composition>
</h:body>
</html>
And now: I wanted to add some content to "content" unitlayout. I made simple page which uses the template below. If I add to the menuitem action like: action="glowna", when I click that item while my page is running, all the template is shown but without header part.
The left, right, center and footer part is shown properly, but header disappears.
However, if I add to the action atribute faces-redirect=true (action="glowna?faces-redirect=true") everything works fine.
This is my content page: glowna.xhtml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<p:commandButton value="Show it!" actionListener="#{user.click}" update="growl"/>
</p:panelGrid>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
</h:body>
</html>
Anyone knows why?
Be grateful for ansewers :)

customised message is not displayed (using Jsf and primeface3.3)

I am creating a demo project using primeface 3.3 and JSF, in which if a user doesn't fill a required field then it should show a message. Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<f:view contentType="text/html">
<h:head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<title> growl</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<p:growl id="growl" showDetail="true" sticky="true" />
<p:panel >
<h:panelGrid columns="3">
<h:outputText value="Your Name: *" />
<p:inputText value="#{someBean}" required="true" label="Name" requiredMessage="User Name Requireds"/>
<h:messages style="color:red;margin:5px;" />
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton value="Save" action="success" />
</p:panel>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</f:view>
</html>
when clicking to save button without filling user name it doesn't show the required message
The <p:commandButton> sends by default an ajax request wherein by default the entire form is executed (as in process="#form"), but by default actually nothing will be updated (as in update="").
If you want to update the UI on complete of the ajax request, then you need to explicitly specify the update attribute. For example, this updates the entire form:
<p:commandButton ... update="#form" />
And this updates only a specific component:
<h:messages id="messages" ... />
<p:commandButton ... update="messages" />
You can alternatively also use PrimeFaces own <p:messages> which supports auto-updating.
<p:messages ... autoUpdate="true" />
<p:commandButton ... />
