Trouble to display deployJava button on ajax rerender - ajax

I'm having trouble displaying the deploy-java button on ajax rerender
<h:form id="deployJavaForm" rendered="#{myBean.shouldRender}">
<h:outputScript library="js" name="http://java.com/js/deployJava.js" target="head" />
<script type="text/javascript">
deployJava.createWebStartLaunchButton('blah.jnlp', '1.7.0');
</script>
</h:form>
when
myBean.shouldRender == true
and the form is updated the only thing being displayed (on a white page) is the deployJava-button and the request is left hanging. if shouldRender is true on the initial request, page and button is displayed correctly.
Im using primefaces in case it can help.
What I want to do is to have the button to be displayed correctly regardless if its part of a ajax rerender or a complete initial request.
Update:
I did my homework and created a minimal example that still reproduces the problem. It seems I still get the same problems regardless if script declaration is in head or in body (I have copy of deployJava.js in resources/js)

edit: (specialgems)
below test give same problem as observed earlier.
<h:outputScript>
deployJava.createWebStartLaunchButton(

</h:outputScript>
edit: added picture
after click of update button, only deployJava button is rendered and page is loading
edit (daniel): both on success and oncomplete give same behaviour :(
<h:form id="djForm">
<h:outputScript>
function abcefg() {
deployJava.createWebStartLaunchButton('test.jnlp', '1.7.0');
}
</h:outputScript>
<p:commandButton value="update" update="djForm" onsuccess="abcefg()" />
</h:form>

Alternatively to using js and css visibility described in my comment you can write own composite button component. Using Firebug you can investigate which markup is generated by the deployJava.createWebStartLaunchButton script and add it by yourself statically. So your component could be:
<!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:composite="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite">
<head>
<title>deployJava Button component</title>
</head>
<body>
<composite:interface>
<composite:attribute name="version" required="true"
type="java.lang.String" />
<composite:attribute name="url" required="true"
type="java.lang.String" />
</composite:interface>
<composite:implementation>
<a onmouseover="window.status=''; return true;"
href="javascript:if (!deployJava.isWebStartInstalled("#{cc.attrs.version}")) {if (deployJava.installLatestJRE()) {if (deployJava.launch("#{cc.attrs.url}")) {}}} else {if (deployJava.launch("#{cc.attrs.url}")) {}}"><img
border="0" src="//java.com/js/webstart.png" /></a>
</composite:implementation>
</body>
</html>
so your page will be:
<?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:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:comps="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/comps"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head>
<!-- <script type="text/javascript" src="http://java.com/js/deployJava.js" />-->
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:outputScript library="js" name="deployJava.js" target="head" />
<h:form id="djForm">
<comps:deployJavaButton version="1.7.0" url="test.jnlp" rendered="#{myBean.shouldRender}" />
<p:commandButton value="update" update="djForm" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
The main idea is to avoid executing button creation script twice and more.

May be using h:panelGroup instead of h:form will help. Something like that:
<h:form id="djForm">
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{myBean.shouldRender}">
<script type="text/javascript">
deployJava.createWebStartLaunchButton(
'test.jnlp', '1.7.0');
</script>
</h:panelGroup>
<p:commandButton value="update" update="djForm" />
</h:form>

PrimeFaces Gmap not rendering in ui : include tag

I have a problem with showing a Primeface p:gmap inside a ui:include component put in a layout page. I'm using the last version of primeface, mojarra and Tomcat 8.
this is my layout component where i try to render my google map:
<p:layoutUnit id="main_content" position="center" >
<ui:include src="#{pageManagingBean.page}.xhtml" />
</p:layoutUnit>
in the same page i have a button, when i click this:
<p:menuitem value="Display referencies Map" actionListener="#{pageManagingBean.setPage('gmapdata')}" icon="ui-icon-disk" update=":main_content" ajax="true"/>
the value of pageManagingBean.page change in the page with the p:gmap, and without reload the entire page, ui:include should load the gmap in the center layout, this is the gmapdata.xhtml:
<?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">

xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core">
<h:head>
<title>Google Map Displayed</title>
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript" ></script>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h1>Google Map</h1>
<f:view contentType="text/html">
<p:gmap center="41.381542, 2.122893" zoom="15" type="HYBRID" style="width:100%;height:100%" widgetVar="gmap" />
</f:view>
</h:body>
</html>
When I click the menu item, the center layout show nothing, but if I change the p:menuitem ajax="true" in ajax="false" all work fine and gmap is showed in the correct position, so why gmap don't render in ajax but work fine without?
EDIT
This problem is not only the rendering of the page gmap but also of the other pages that I try to load ajax in that part of the layout , for example, I have a page with a table of the work that should appear with the same mechanism , but show only if I impose ajax = false and the subsequent update of the entire page.
UPDATE
I did several tests and thus constituting the page with gmap ,
<h:head>
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"
type="text/javascript"></script>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<f:view contentType="text/html">
<h1>Google Map</h1>
<p:gmap center="41.381542, 2.122893" zoom="15" type="HYBIRD"
style="width:600px;height:400px" />
</f:view>
</h:body>
</html>
and including ui:include into a <h:form id="main_content"> tag, who will update thanks to the p:menuItem...update="main_content"
content in the tag is added to the page with the ui : include , but is not rendered map , however if I enter manually , along with ui : include , the tag <gmap> in my mainpage: at first opening the map is rendered (map in the tag gmap than i have hadded manually), but when the layout is updated in ajax through the usual function by <p:menuItem> , both maps ( gmap added manually and that loaded by ui : include ) disappear.
obviously everything works setting ajax = false .
I can not explain the problem
I'm not sure but it could be related to the place of the google maps script
I am not in the same situation, I have a template using ui:inser ui:composition, ui:define, ui:include...
My template:
<html 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">
<h:head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<ui:insert name="resources">
<ui:include src="/template/resources.xhtml"/>
</ui:insert>
<title>MyApp</title>
<ui:insert name="scripts"/>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="resources/img/favicon.png"/>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<f:view contentType="text/html">
<ui:insert name="header">
<ui:include src="/template/header.xhtml"/>
</ui:insert>
<ui:insert name="menu">
<ui:include src="/template/menu.xhtml"/>
</ui:insert>
<ui:insert name="content"/>
<ui:insert name="footer">
<ui:include src="/template/footer.xhtml"/>
</ui:insert>
</f:view>
</h:body>
</html>
and when I build the page with g:map I do
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
template="/template/template.xhtml"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<ui:define name="scripts">
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript"/>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="content">
<p:gmap center="41.381542, 2.122893" zoom="15" type="HYBRID" style="width:100%;height:100%" widgetVar="gmap"/>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
because the scripts has to be loaded in the head
And when you update main_content using ajax, what going on in the head?
I think you have to put the script in the head, form the beginig, so that the page is load with the script anyway.
EDIT
And you could have problem if you are using forward based navigation because primefaces don't support that
http://primefaces.org/faq.html
you have to concat view id with "?faces-redirect=true" in action attribute of commandLink or commandButton
UPDATE
Generally there is a Javascript function to initialize the map
This function (Generally called initialize()) is call on the load event of the page
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/events
when you do an ajax request you should call this function to initialize the map
I try to execute your code but I have a jquery error: "TypeError: b is undefined" jquery.js.xhtml:1:30
It's seems that it is a javascript problem, I don't know how to solve it
Update form tag: <h:form prependId="false" id="main_content">. In my case it is worked when i kept prependId="false".

Update datatable after fileupload using PrimeFaces

Below is my code for my file upload page and I can't figure out why when the upload is done it doesn't update my datatable with if the upload was successful or not. I could do a like a do not render til after update but don't think that is supported with the fileupload command. I did a system out on my list and it does have the values in it so the list is fully populated and ready to display but my datatable isn't showing anything? Am I missing something?

Edit: After a bunch of testing and code rewriting I have got it partially working but it seems like it doesn't like to render in my template code... So I was wondering if there may be something wrong in my template code.
Template code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

</style>
</h:head>
<h:body onload="statusDialog.hide();">
<h:outputStylesheet library="css" name="style.css" />
<p:ajaxStatus onstart="statusDialog.show();"
onsuccess="statusDialog.hide();" />

<ui:include src="menu.xhtml" />
</p:layoutUnit>
<p:layoutUnit styleClass="layoutUnitCenter" position="center">
<h:form id="mainForm">
<ui:insert name="content" />
</h:form>
</p:layoutUnit>
</p:layout>
</h:body>
</f:view>
</html>
After a bunch of testing and deleting and rewriting like all my code I have figured out it was a stupid error with layouts and the <f:view> so I removed that and
<p:ajaxStatus onstart="statusDialog.show();"
onsuccess="statusDialog.hide();" />
And everything seemed to work fine!

Include xhtml page with ajax request in multi-level page template (JSF, Primefaces)

I am trying to create an application using JSF and Primefaces. Unfortunately, I have an issue about page templates and could not manage to work it out properly.
I have a page template like this. What I want is to load Left Menu and the Content with ajax request without loading whole page. However, when I click the page2 link, everything gets broken like this.
I tried different combinations of how to place form, include, composition tags but, it's still the same. Only change is my server response according to place of form tag. When I checked the response it seems alright. It does not try to load whole page and nothing seems wrong to me:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<partial-response id="j_id1"><changes><update id="javax.faces.ViewRoot"><![CDATA[<script id="innerLayout_s" type="text/javascript">$(function(){PrimeFaces.cw( "Layout","widget_innerLayout",{id:"innerLayout",widgetVar:"widget_innerLayout",west:{paneSelector:'#left',size:"200",resizable:false,closable:false},center:{paneSelector:'#innerContent',size:"auto",resizable:false,closable:false}},"layout");}) ;</script><div id="innerLayout"><div id="left" class="ui-layout-unit ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all ui-layout-west"><div class="ui-layout-unit-header ui-widget-header ui-corner-all"><span class="ui-layout-unit-header-title">Left Menu</span></div><div class="ui-layout-unit-content ui-widget-content">

However, when I look the console, there is an error like below:

My problem is when click on action button in menu.xhtml (for example). The ajax partial update on ":content" work perfect, but after render the page layout create a new blank line on top layout with following text: "xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">". This text is uri namespace from template.xhtml.
Any help?

Error: <f:ajax> contains an unknown id when used with composite:insertChildren

I defined a composite component (actually a few) and when I try to re-render a component inserted with I get the error mentioned:
<f:ajax> contains an unknown id ':contentFrm' - cannot locate it in the context of the component j_idt40
If I simply replace:
<et:pageContent formId="contentFrm">
with
<h:form id="contentFrm">
<div>
then everything works fine
Here is the relevant 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:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:composite="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite">
<composite:interface>
<composite:attribute name="styleClass" default="access-box-content alpha omega grid-12" />
<composite:attribute name="formId" default="#{cc.attrs.id}" />
</composite:interface>
<composite:implementation>
<h:form id="#{cc.attrs.formId}">
<div class="#{cc.attrs.styleClass}">
<composite:insertChildren/>
</div>
</h:form>
</composite:implementation>
</html>
This is how I use the composite
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

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

<et:tabBar formId="currentTrxFrm">
<et:tab bean="#{accountTransactionBacking}"
prompt="#{msg.trx_currentTrxs}"
reRender=":contentFrm"
tabId="1"
active="true"/>
</et:tabBar>
<et:pageContent formId="contentFrm">
<et:tabContentPanel rendered="#{accountTransactionBacking.selectedTab ==1}">
<ui:include src="/app/summary/currentTrxRG.xhtml" rendered="#{accountTransactionBacking.selectedTab ==1}"/>
</et:tabContentPanel>
</et:pageContent>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
TIA
Some more tests.. using same component get's the same result.. for example the following code gives similar error (even replacing render="accountSummaryLines" with render=":accountSummaryLines")..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<et:div styleClass="accountSummaryLines" divId="lastStatementLines">
<ui:repeat var="row" value="#{lastStatementBacking.lines.data}">
<h:outputText escape="false" value="#{row}" styleClass="grid-12 lastStatementDetail"/><br></br>
</ui:repeat>
</et:div>
<et:div styleClass="access-box-footer">
<h:commandButton styleClass="left" action="#{lastStatementBacking.lines.prevPage}" value="#{msg.buttonPrevPage}" style="float:left;">
<f:ajax render="accountSummaryLines" />
</h:commandButton>
<h:commandButton styleClass="right" action="#{lastStatementBacking.lines.nextPage}" value="#{msg.buttonNextPage}">
<f:ajax render="accountSummaryLines" />
</h:commandButton>
</et:div>
</et:pageContent>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
The only way I got this particular example working is using render="#form" like so..
It cannot be found because the composite component is by itself a NamingContainer. The real valid client ID would be :idOfComposite:contentFrm where idOfComposite is the (auto)generated ID of the composite component itself. If you do a View Source in webbrowser and locate the <form> in question, then you'll see it.
You need to give the composite component a fixed ID
<et:pageContent id="contentFrm">
and use exactly this ID on a plain HTML element which wraps the composite's content, e.g. <div> or <span>.
<composite:implementation>
<div id="#{cc.id}">
<h:form>
<div class="#{cc.attrs.styleClass}">
<composite:insertChildren/>
</div>
</h:form>
</div>
</composite:implementation>
