How to use one commandButton to execute two task in JSF

Question

I have a form in JSF page which contains different faces components. These faces bind to ADF BC to insert one row in the database when the user press commandButton. Also I need to bind the value of one inputText in that form to managed bean to execute another task in the application when the user press the same commandButton.
The code of the inputText:
<h:inputText value="#{bindings.ProjectNumber.inputValue}"
id="pn"
size="10"
required="#{bindings.ProjectNumber.mandatory}">
The code of commandButton:
<h:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.Commit.execute}"
value="Save"
disabled="#{bindings.Commit.actionEnabled}"/>
The managed bean is “findInspector”. I tried to insert inputHidden inside commandButton tag and assign the value of the inputText to the inputHidden as follows:
<h:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.Commit.execute}"
value="Save"
disabled="#{bindings.Commit.actionEnabled}">
<h:inputHidden value="#{bindings.ProjectNumber.inputValue}" binding="#{findInspector.project}"/>
</h:commandButton>
But it was not work
Please how can I write the code to use the value of the inputText more than one time in the JSF(one to insert one row by using ADF BC and another to use the same value to bind to a managed bean) and how to use one commandButton to execute two task in JSF.
Thank you

Answer 1

Yes I did
<managed-bean>
<description>The bean for get project No</description>
<managed-bean-name>projectBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>
mcscm.model.ProjectBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>bindings</property-name>
<value>#{bindings}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
Also I changed the method in the managed bean as follows:
public String commandButton_action() {
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding vb = fctx.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{bindings}");
DCBindingContainer dcb = (DCBindingContainer) vb.getValue(fctx);
OperationBinding operation = (OperationBinding) dcb.get("projectNumber");
operation.execute();
return null;
where projectNumber is my method in the java class of the application module "TaskInformationImpl". I made this method to be accessed from outside of ADF BC.
I just create a sample code for projectNumber method for testing only as:
public void projectNumber (String data){
System.out.print(data);
In the page Pagedef file I added this :
<methodAction id="projectNumber"
InstanceName="TaskInformationDataControl.dataProvider"
DataControl="TaskInformationDataControl"
MethodName="projectNumber" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
Action="999" IsViewObjectMethod="false">
<NamedData NDName="data" NDValue = "#{bindings.ProjectNumber.inputValue}" NDType="java.lang.String"/>
After I did all of this I get a new error like:
javax.faces.FacesException: #{projectBean.commandButton_action}: javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.model.binding.FacesCtrlAttrsBinding cannot be cast to oracle.adf.model.OperationBinding
Is it very difficult to do this in JDeveloper?. yes ADF BC provide me a lot of facilities, but when I want to do a specific task I face a lot of troubles
