lp,
This is not a bug.
When referencing components in different naming containers in a "for"
attribute, a simple id is not sufficient. The component will be looked
up using the algorithm defined in findComponent() of UIComponent class.
See [1](tinyurl) or [2](full url).
In your case, try the following:
actionFor="tab1:entitySubForm"
You could also do something like:
actionFor=":MyFormName:tab1:entitySubForm"

hi all,
i have subforms within subview. However when using the actionFor in a
commandButton that is outside the subview it seems to ignore the validation
phase. The subforms work fine when the command button is within the subview.
see snippet below.
Is this a known issue?
Is there a way to reference the subform name within a subview. ie
subview.formname
<f:subview id="tab1" >
<jsp:include page="assetEntityDetail.jsp"/> <----- subform
entitySubForm in here
</f:subview>
<f:subview id="tab2" >
<jsp:include page="assetLocationDetail.jsp"/>
</f:subview>
<h:panelGroup>
.....
<t:commandButton id="save" immediate="false" action="#{assetForm.save}"
value="#{example_messages['button_save']}" disabled="#{assetForm.mode==1}"
actionFor="entitySubForm"/>
<f:verbatim> </f:verbatim>
any help appreciated
