function in the h:body onload does not work in my JSF page (EDITED)

Question

EDITED

I would like to use

 <h:body onload="#{myBean.initialize}">

but the function initialize() is not called in my JSF page and I don't undertsand why. Thanks in advance

The structure of the page is

 <html>
   <h:body onload="#{myBean.initialize}"> 
   <p:layout>
   <ui:composition>
       <ui:define>
           <p:layoutUnit>
                <h:form>
                      <p:panel> 
                            <h:panelGrid>
                              .....
                            </h:panelGrid>
                       </p:panel> 
                  </h:form>
           </p:layoutUnit>
     </ui:define>
   </ui:composition>
   </p:layout>
   </h:body>
</html>

EDITED

I am using

  <p:remoteCommand name="onload" action="#{editUDBean.init}" autoRun="true"/>

just after the

 <h:form>

and this calls the init function

What version of JSF are you using? And am I correct that `initialize` is the name of a method on your JavaBean named `myBean`? — mabi, Feb 12 '14 at 14:28
If you keep changing the question, you prevent everybody from answering effectively. — mabi, Feb 12 '14 at 14:58

It should go right after the html tag (or after head of course). Almost every tutorial on templating do it this way, see Mkyong's one for instance.

with

<h:body onload="">

you can trigger a javascript function not a java bean method! You can use onload like this:

<h:body onload="alert('onload is called...');">
