I can verify that your solution with an actionListener and a navigationHandler unfortunately has the same issue...... It was worth the shot however!!! Thanks anyway!smithh032772 wrote:My recommendation is replace action="#{bean.doSomething()}" with actionListener="#{bean.doSomething()}" and use navigationhandler in your bean.
Why is that my recommendation? because how many times do you see action="#{bean.doSomething()}" in PrimeFaces showcase examples or user guide? I'm sure you will see actionListener="#{bean.doSomething()}" in-and-throughout the PrimeFaces world/realm, and you will see recommendations/chatter in the forums about navigationhandler.
I just searched google for the following:
jsf balusc navigation handler actionlistener
If I were you, I would definitely read any/all what showed up in that list of search results. I have learned a lot about JSF from BalusC.
FYI, someone was kind enough to create an issue in issue tracker; that is why I am responding here; i was strolling through issue tracker and decided to reply here.
