I have a JSF 2.2.0-m12 application with primefaces 3.5. Since I ported the application from JBoss 7.1.1 to Tomcat 7.0.39, the first change of an inputfield (inputtext, slider, button,...) after reloading a page works fine, but the second change does nothing. I searched for the differences between the first and the second request:
1st request:
- JSF phases: Phases from 1 till 6 are executed
- In Firebug 'network -> all -> POST zinsrechner.xhtml -> post' is a viewstate:
contentForm contentForm contentForm:inputZinsatz 2.0 contentForm:j_idt157:anla... 277 contentForm:j_idt157:maxA... 25 contentForm:j_idt157:slid... 277 contentForm:j_idt72:saveA... 10000 contentForm:j_idt72:saveA... 20000 contentForm:selectSparArt false javax.faces.ViewState -1622287370124327744:4775655032591022279 javax.faces.behavior.even... slideEnd javax.faces.partial.ajax true javax.faces.partial.event slideEnd javax.faces.partial.execu... contentForm:j_idt157:sliderAnlageDauer javax.faces.partial.rende... contentForm javax.faces.source contentForm:j_idt157:sliderAnlageDauer
2nd request:
- JSF phases: After Phase 1 the 6 is executed
- In Firebug 'network -> all -> POST zinsrechner.xhtml -> post' is no viewstate:
contentForm contentForm contentForm:inputZinsatz 2.0 contentForm:j_idt157:anla... 460 contentForm:j_idt157:maxA... 25 contentForm:j_idt157:slid... 460 contentForm:j_idt72:saveA... 10000 contentForm:j_idt72:saveA... 20000 contentForm:selectSparArt false javax.faces.behavior.even... slideEnd javax.faces.partial.ajax true javax.faces.partial.event slideEnd javax.faces.partial.execu... contentForm:j_idt157:sliderAnlageDauer javax.faces.partial.rende... contentForm javax.faces.source contentForm:j_idt157:sliderAnlageDauer
Now I'm not sure, if the missing ViewState causes the incorrect behaviour.
In my pages are three not enclosing forms. For each form is a hidden viewstate tag rendered in the outcoming html(condensed):
<!DOCTYPE html>

I tried unsuccessfully to solve the problem with the JS described here: h:commandButton/h:commandLink does not work on first click, works only on second click
and the following configurations in web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>com.sun.faces.autoCompleteOffOnViewState</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>com.sun.faces.enableViewStateIdRendering</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>

What can I do to pass the ViewStatus to the server? Could the missing ViewState be the reason for the incorrect behaviour?
Thanks for your help. If you need more information, just ask!
