@all in JSF Ajax does not work

Question

This line is inside a form tag:

<p:commandLink actionListener="#{questionBean.removeQuestion(question)}"
   value="Delete" styleClass="delete" update="@all"/>

However, it only works with @form . Nothing happens when I have @all . I want to be able to update not only the form but also other parts of the page.

Answer 1

Seems that update="@all" not supported by primefaces

although its a bit diff question update="@all" is not working with "ui:include ..."

but still its being said several time that

update="@all" does not work with PimeFaces.

another ref : Issue 2026: update="@all" is not working PrimeFaces ajax.

Answer 2

Try with process="@all" as explained here .

<p:commandLink actionListener="#{questionBean.removeQuestion(question)}" 
   value="Delete" styleClass="delete" process="@all"/> 

Answer 3

I think it may be a bug. Even if you use JSF's <f:ajax render="@all"> , it may also does not work. To solve this, I think you can simply set the id attribute of the body tag to, for example, mySexyBody . Then you can do update="mySexyBody" .
