SelectBooleanCheckbox always returns 'false' when used inside confirmdialog

[Alex Trapp Home]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently using primefaces 7.0.23 in a project.
I need to make a confirm dialog having a booleancheckbox inside (see example code below).
My Problem is, that the checkbox always returns 'false' to the bean.

I suppose it has something to do with the fact, that the confirmDialog is generated outside the <h:form> element on runtime. If i use the exact same checkbox-code somewhere inside the <h:form> the the select-state is correctly put into the bean.

Does anyone have a clue on how I must define the xhtml-code in order to have the checkbox work correctly inside the dialog?

Code: Select all

<p:confirmDialog widgetVar="confirmToTakeOverStandaloneAnswers" showEffect="fade" id="confirmToTakeOverStandaloneAnswers"
	hideEffect="fade" appendTo="@(body)" 
	header="..."
	message="...">
	<h:panelGroup>
		<h:outputText value="..."></h:outputText>
		<p:selectBooleanCheckbox id="takeOverSpecificBox"
			value="#{data.reportBean.takeOverSpecificSelect}"
			itemLabel="takeover additional info" >
				<p:ajax event="change" process="@this"/>
		</p:selectBooleanCheckbox>
		<BR />
		<p:commandButton ...for ok/>
		<p:commandButton ...for cancel/>
	</h:panelGroup>
</confirmDialog>

Thanks for any help
Alex
