commandButton actionListener not called when using calendar

Hi,

I started working with JSF and primefaces a short time ago.

I have a problem using the primefaces calendar and commandButton actionListener() method. When the calendar component is used, then the commanButton's actionListener() never gets called. Commenting out the calendar in the xhtml will cause the commandButton's actionListener() to get called again.

Is there something simple I'm overlooking or are these two not compatible with each other?

Thank you in advance for any comments or suggestions!

Below is the sample code for showing the problem:

advancedsearch.xhtml:

</h:panelGrid>

<p:commandButton value="Submit Request" actionListener="#{dtAdvancedSearch.info}" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>

AdvancedSearch.java:

package com.test.outage;

import java.util.Date;
import java.io.Serializable;

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;

@ManagedBean(name="dtAdvancedSearch")
@SessionScoped
public class AdvancedSearch implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

public AdvancedSearch() {
}

private Date from_cal;
public Date getFrom_cal() {
return from_cal;
}
public Date setFrom_cal(Date value) {
return from_cal = value;
}

private Date to_cal;
public Date getTo_cal() {
return to_cal;
}
public Date setTo_cal(Date value) {
return to_cal = value;
}

public void info() {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Info", "submit button request"));
}
}

I found the answer to this problem. Have to add process="@this" attribute to commandButton.
