Calling another a4j:jsFunction in an a4j:jsFunction oncomplete event

Question

Hi all ,

I define some java script function which will call the back-end functions using a4j:jsFunction.For example :

<a4j:jsFunction name="function1"  action="#{Bean1.action1}" oncomplete="function2();"/> 

<a4j:jsFunction name="function2"  action="#{Bean1.action2}" oncomplete="SomeJSFunc2();"/> 

Then in the a4j:commandButton , I set the onclick property to call my defined function like it:

<a4j:commandButton onclick="function1" oncomplete="SomeJSFunc3();"> 

When the a4j:commandButton is clicked , #{Bean1.action1} is run .After the #{Bean1.action1} returned , the oncomplete event of the (a4j:jsFunction name="function1") cannot invoke the "#{Bean1.action2}" .How can I solve this problem?

  <a4j:commandButton
      oncomplete="switchTab(1);"
      action="#{backBean.actionSwitchTab4}"
      value="#{res['button_forward']}c" styleClass="button" />
  <a4j:jsFunction id="testFunc" name="switchTab"
      action="#{backBean.actionSwitchTab}"
      oncomplete="switchTab2(6);">
      <a4j:actionparam name="tabIndex" assignTo="#{backBean.tabIndexTl}" />
  </a4j:jsFunction>
  <a4j:jsFunction id="testFunc2" name="switchTab2"
      action="#{backBean.actionSwitchTab2}"
      oncomplete="showConfirmPrompt();">
      <a4j:actionparam name="tabIndex" assignTo="#{backBean.tabIndexTi}" />
  </a4j:jsFunction>
  <a4j:jsFunction id="testFunc3" name="switchTab3"
      action="#{backBean.actionSwitchTab3}"
      oncomplete="alert('this is the end');">
      <a4j:actionparam name="tabIndex" assignTo="#{backBean.tabIndexTs}"/>
  </a4j:jsFunction>
  <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
