Have to click the button twice to invoke its action!!!!

Question

I am using netbeans 5.5 visual web pack and tomcat server for my JSF project.
In one of my pages i have to click the submit button twice to invoke its action.
I searched forum for the answer but could not find any that could solve my problem.
Whenever i first click the button from the lifecycle listener class i used i found the application goes through following phases:
BeforePhase: RESTORE_VIEW 1
AfterPhase: RESTORE_VIEW 1
BeforePhase: APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES 2
com.sun.rave.web.ui.renderer.UploadRenderer::decode()
com.sun.rave.web.ui.renderer.UploadRenderer::     Looking for id form1:citizenshipFileUPloadField_com.sun.rave.web.ui.upload
com.sun.rave.web.ui.renderer.UploadRenderer::     Found id form1:citizenshipFileUPloadField_com.sun.rave.web.ui.upload
AfterPhase: APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES 2
BeforePhase: RENDER_RESPONSE 6
AfterPhase: RENDER_RESPONSE 6There is no INVOKE_APPLICATION phase in first click. In second click, the status i got is:
BeforePhase: RESTORE_VIEW 1
AfterPhase: RESTORE_VIEW 1
BeforePhase: APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES 2
com.sun.rave.web.ui.renderer.UploadRenderer::decode()
com.sun.rave.web.ui.renderer.UploadRenderer::     Looking for id form1:citizenshipFileUPloadField_com.sun.rave.web.ui.upload
com.sun.rave.web.ui.renderer.UploadRenderer::     Found id form1:citizenshipFileUPloadField_com.sun.rave.web.ui.upload
AfterPhase: APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES 2
BeforePhase: PROCESS_VALIDATIONS 3
AfterPhase: PROCESS_VALIDATIONS 3
BeforePhase: UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4
AfterPhase: UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4
BeforePhase: INVOKE_APPLICATION 5
AfterPhase: INVOKE_APPLICATION 5
BeforePhase: RENDER_RESPONSE 6
AfterPhase: RENDER_RESPONSE 6Now the INVOKE_APPLICATION phase is invoked.
I have <h:messages /> tag but no errors could be seen.
What can be the reasons behind this problem

Answer 1

Well the code that is producing the problem is quite big. Anyway i will post it, hoope you can get something out of it.
The jsp page is:

                    The corresponding bean is:

}No all the properties of the bean has been bind to components.
I also have value change listener methods for two drop down lists whose immediate property is set to true to bypass the validation. If i change the dropdownlist selection then its value change listener method is successfully invoked, then after if i click the submit button, then it will works.
