Is it possible to have the JSF update a component that's placed outside the component's context?
Currently the following page is not working:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">
<h:head>
<title>Welcome</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<p><h:outputText id="out" value="#{user.greeting}" /></p>
<h:form id="form1">
<h:inputText value="#{user.name}" id="user-name" />
<p><h:inputSecret value="#{user.password}" id="password" /></p>
<p>
<h:commandButton value="Login" id="login-button">
<f:ajax execute="user-name password" render="out" />
</h:commandButton>
</p>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
I know that if I put the #out
component inside <h:form>
the page will be rendered correctly. But is there a way to place the #out
component outside of the form (e.g. where it is right now)?
