JSF RichFaces Facelets integration problem
I have a form inside <ui:define> which after authenticating as admin:admin is just setting a boolean that another RichFaces control checks in its rendered attribute. The problem is that after it does, all that appears in the page is:
[code=java]
<script>A4J.AJAX._scriptEvaluated=true;</script>[/code]
instead of the RichFaces control.
If I refresh the page, the control happily appears. If i refresh again the control remains and [code=java]
<script>A4J.AJAX._scriptEvaluated=true;</script>[/code] dissapears
This seems that Facelets doesn't integrate well with Ajax requests because when is switch to h:form and h:commandButton it works as espected. What should i do to make it work with Ajax?
The page is:
[code=java]<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
