p:commandButton action not invoked after and ajax update - ajax

Question

I have a JSF page which has a p:commandButton which has ajax=true and renders a p:panel which is wrapped in p:outputPanel when clicked. When this button is clicked the action method will set showCreateUser value in ManagedBean to true and this is used to render the Panel. This works fine - on button click the panel is rendered properly. Inside the p:panel there is another p:commandButton. This commanButton is not working as nothing happens when I click on it. The action method is never invoked. When I debug I realised that even though the ajax action sets showCreateUser to true but when I click on second button the showCreateUser value is false. So, the panel panel rendered=false and so the action is never invoked. Following are the xhtml and managedbean class. How can I resolve this? Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

<p:commandButton id="btnConfirmNo" value="No" ajax="false"
action="#{regBean.ConfirmNo}"
styleClass="button" style="height:35px;"/>
In above code ,you've set action to be "ConfirmNo". I don't see any method as such.
Change above code as :
<p:commandButton id="btnConfirmNo" value="No" ajax="false"
action="#{regBean.agentConfirmNo}"
styleClass="button" style="height:35px;"/>
Now, it will invoke the method agentConfirmNo from your registration bean.
I hope that helps.
