My Use Case: I have a html-form to make a post request to some webservice by clicking the submit-button.
My Problem: I am using a t:panelTabbedPane. I have to use a plain html-form, because the value of the action-attribute is the URL of the webservice (and as far as I know there is no way to define this value in a h:form). For some reasons (I guess because of the t:panelTabbedPane) a plain html-form isn't displayed on the page, when placed inside the t:panelTabbedPane. Outside of the t:panelTabbedPane it works. So I put this form outside of the t:panelTabbedPane and hide it per css. But the button that triggers the post request has to be inside the t:panelTabbedPane, so my idea was: html-form outside, visible button inside, visible button "clicks" hidden button. But this doesn't work. But if I place my visible button outside the t:panelTabbedPane (with the actionListener code you provided) it works... But it's senseless, because outside of the t:panelTabbedPane my plain html-form works anyway.
