Invoking another command button while clicking on the other

Question

Hi All,
I have an add form where I have 2 buttons, one is ADD and othe is SAVE. Each one of them will call different backing bean methods. When I Click on Add my save button should also be invoked. How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can do that using javascript. But note that only one action method would be executed on submit.
function submitSave(){
    var save = document.getElementById(//id for ur save button);
    save.click();
<h:commandButton value="Add" action="#{Bean.xyz}" onclick="submitSave()"/>
<h:commandButton value="Save" action="#{Bean.abc}"/>If both the buttons are in the same form, then only one action can be invoked on click of a button. If you want to execute both actions, you can handle the same on server side. After completing the action for your add button, from the same method you can invoke the action method for save button.
