Primefaces datatable required fields not work - primefaces

I would create a check input information about specified in:
http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/message/messages.xhtml
I create a dataTable with a lot required field (inputText with attribute required="true") and a p:message into datatable section.
Problem is when I click on button to save data: I don't see alert message in my page but starting execution of associated bean.
Why?
My code in .xhtml is this:
<h:form>
<p:messages id="messages" showDetail="true" autoUpdate="true" closable="true" />
<p:dataTable var="myAtt"
value="#{myBean.attributes}"
rowIndexVar="myAttIndex">
<h:inputHidden value="#{myAtt.value}" rendered="#{myAtt.description == 'XXX'}" />
<p:column rendered="#{myAtt.description == 'XXX'}">
<h:outputText value="*" rendered="#{myAtt.required}" />
</p:column>
<p:column rendered="#{ myAtt.description == 'YYY'">
<p:fragment rendered="#{myAtt.description == 'ZZZ'">
<p:fragment rendered="#{myAtt.value == 'value1'}">
<p:inputText size="#{myAtt.maxLength}"
value="#{myAtt.value}"
rendered="#{myAtt.const == 't1'}"
required="true"
id="idText">
<p:ajax process="#this" event="change" update="#form"/>
</p:inputText>
<p:message for="idText"/>
</p:fragment>
</p:fragment>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
<br />
<p:commandButton value="Create" action="#{myBean.commit()}" process="#this" update=":MYPAGE"/>
Thanks.

You forgot to indicate an id for the h:form : <h:form id="myForm">
And in the update of the p:commandButton you have to indicate the id of the form : update=":MYPAGE :myForm"
EDIT
According to the PrimeFaces users guide 3.5, the attribute action will be called when the user clicks on the button.

Primefaces Datatable Radiobutton submitting wrong values

I got a datatable with a custom layout selectoneradio. It doesnt submit correct values after the first row.
This is the datatable:
<h:form id="dataTableForm">
<br />
<p:dataTable id="absenceTable" var="absence" widgetVar="absenceTable"
value="#{adminController.absenceList}" rowIndexVar="rowIndex"
emptyMessage="Keine Absenzen mit ausstehender Genehmigung gefunden"
style="width:70%;margin-left:15%;margin-right:15%;margin-bottom:20px;margin-top:10px;"
rowKey="#{absence.id}" rows="30" paginator="true"
paginatorPosition="bottom" paginatorAlwaysVisible="false"
paginatorTemplate="{PageLinks}" sortBy="#{absence.startDate}"
sortOrder="descending"
filteredValue="#{adminController.filteredAbsences}">
<f:facet name="header">Mitarbeiterabsenzen mit ausstehender Genehmigung</f:facet>
<p:column>
<p:selectOneRadio id="action" value="#{absence.status}" required="false"
layout="custom" >
<f:selectItem itemValue="PENDING" noSelectionOption="true" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="APPROVED" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="REJECTED" />
<p:ajax event="valueChange" immediate="true" listener="#{adminController.checkBoxListener}" />
</p:selectOneRadio>
</p:column>
<p:column width="20">
<p:radioButton for="action" itemIndex="0" />
</p:column>
<p:column width="20">
<p:radioButton for="action" itemIndex="1" />
</p:column>
<p:column width="20">
<p:radioButton for="action" itemIndex="2" />
</p:column>
<f:facet name="footer">
<p:commandButton value="Speichern"
action="#{adminController.save()}" update="absenceTable" />
</f:facet>
</p:dataTable>
</h:form>
The row index and absence loop variable is defined on the datatable.
Its all in the same form.
The problem is, somehow, it only works for the first row. The other rows submit "on" instead of the value. I found in the generated html that they are not provided with value-tag like the radiobuttons in the first row are:
I guess its gonna be a stupid syntax issue or something... This is what i get debugging clicking on anything but the first row:
Im running on PF 5.2
This is a bug in PF5.2
The code runs smoothly on PF5.3

Primefaces DataTable Selection's Attribute is Null if not rendered in Dialog

I'm not sure if this is a limitation or a coding error on my part. I have a Primefaces DataTable that allows the user to select it (single select radio) and then click on a CommandButton to edit the data in a Dialog.
In the HTML code where I display the selected object, I omitted the ID, Lat, and Long attributes because a human user shouldn't be touching these attributes. The Dialog is showing the selected attributes correctly, however, when I tried to find the existing record using the selected object's ID for update, it thrown a no result error. When I checked the selected object's ID attribute, it has a value of NULL.
I tinker around with the HTML code and found that in order to have the any of the attributes copied to the selected object, the attributes must be shown in the XHTML. When I include the attribute as with Render = False, the attribute will have a value of NULL. Any suggestions on hiding attributes that human users shouldn't modify beside using Disable tag attribute?
Class Property{
Int ID;
String Address;
Long Lat;
Long Long;
String Desc;
}
public void modifyCurrentProject() {
HashMap<String, Object> params = new HashMap();
params.put("id", currentProject.getId());
//fails to find Project by ID as currentProject.getID == null
Project temp = (Project) dbu.findByNamedQuery("project.findID", params);
//Omit statements to overwrite attached object's values before writing back to database
dbu.modifyEntity(); //dbu is another object to control database access
currentProject = null;

After placing some more breakpoints in the code, I discovered that upon saving the changes in the Dialog, it's creating a new backing bean. If the is set to Render=false, Disabled=true, or ReadOnly=true then new backing bean's object's value will not be set and retain the initial value as specified in the object's constructor.
Basically, the cause is incorrect scope. I was using Request scope when the problem occurred. However, changing to Session scope resolved it.

How to update value in p:dialog and display in the p:dialog

I have a datatable, and at the last column I will have an edit action, it will trigger the dialog box. However, I found the value in the dialog box is not updated. Can anybody to help on this?
My code as below. In fact the bean.currentItem.name and bean.currentItem.age should base on my selection from the table. I check the bean.currentItem is not null and is refer to my selection from preEdit method, but the value never show up in p:dialog.
<p:dataTable ....>
<p:column...
<p:column...
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputLabel value="Update" />
</f:facet>
<p:remoteCommand name="preEdit" action="#{bean.preEdit}"
process="#this" update="#this #form:dlg">
<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{bean.currentItem}"
value="#{thisItem}" />
</p:remoteCommand>
<p:commandLink styleClass="no-decor"
oncomplete="preEdit();PF('dlg').show();" value="Edit"/>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
<p:dialog header="#{lbl.tt_cat_upd}" widgetVar="dlg" id="dlg"
resizable="false" >
<h:outputLabel value="#{bean.currentItem.name}" />
<h:outputLabel value="#{bean.currentItem.age}" />
</p:dialog>
How about removing your p:remoteCommand and let your p:commandLink do all the work for you?
Assuming you have a h:form surrounding both your dataTable and your dialog
<p:commandLink action="#{bean.preEdit}" process="#this" update="dlg" styleClass="no-decor" oncomplete="PF('dlg').show()" value="Edit">
<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{bean.currentItem}"
value="#{thisItem}" />
</p:commandLink>
If your dataTable is not in the same form with your dialog, you might replace update="dlg" by update=":formIdContainingDialog:dlg"

Primefaces:text field is not updated when dialog hides

Im trying to update text field from dialog box .The text field is in the parent component. But its not happening . If i give the id of text field in the update of command button . I encountered the error :
javax.faces.FacesException: Cannot find component with identifier "customerCode" referenced from "tabView:lkpSltRec"
Since it is not able to find the component id . I have used the alternative . I have taken the hidden field .After command button is clicked , the hidden field gets updated and through simple javascript function im updating the text field of parent component .The javascript function is called from oncomplete of command button in the dialog box. Since ,as per project requirement i have to achieve it through primefaces only not through javascript . Plz, suggest me the approach in primefaces . Below is the code snippet:
Here ecap:lookup is the the customize component.
Selected Customer <p:inputText id="customerCode"
value="#{sixthTabBBean.customerName}" label="Selected Adddress"></p:inputText>
Selected Customer City <p:inputText id="selectedCity" value="#{sixthTabBBean.customerCity}" ></p:inputText>

oncomplete="lpDialogVar.hide();insertSelectedValue();"
actionListener="#{lookupSearch.selectValue}" />
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
</h:panelGrid>
Here ecap:lookup is the customize component.
Finally, i have got the solution . The exception i have encountered is because of the form tag . The ajax event fired from the dialog is not able to find the component outside the form .In this case use:
:#{p:component('componentId')}
Here it will search the id not only within the form but outside of it.

primefaces remotecommand partial process

I am working on webflow 2.3.1, primefaces 3.4.2 project.
As you see, i tried to update selectOneMenu according to parent city as shown at example from primefaces showcase. However i used p:remoteCommand to call webflow action.
At remoteCommand , if i set process="#this, subSelectOneMenu", action did not call . But if i did not set "process",it called action but it also give error for captcha which is empty.
How can i use remoteCommand to call action partially?
