jsf.ajax.request to call JSF bean to execute a method

Question

I need to call JSF Bean method from the javascript using ajax.requst. Share button from the below XHTML file will execute a javascript which will run the below ajax function. But i am getting the below error. I need help in executing the ajax request in this route, i believe there would be several alternatives but i want it to work it this way for now.

javascript

$('#shareButton').livequery("click", function () {
............................
.................

           jsf.ajax.request('commandLink',null,{execute: 'commandLink',render: 'topic_guid'});
...................
.............})

XHTML

        <f:form id="testForm" prependId="false">
<div id="sharebtn">
                    <a class="button Share" style="" id="shareButton">Share</a>
                </div>
        <h:inputHidden value="#{topicBean.topicVO.body}" id="topic_body"/>
        <h:inputHidden value="#{topicBean.topicVO.videoAudioUrl}" id="topic_vaurl" />
        <h:inputHidden value="#{topicBean.topic_guid}" id="topic_guid" />
        <p:commandLink id="commandLink" action="#{topicController.createTopic}"
                     </f:form>

Looks like your error is the ``, it should be `` or maybe you just posted your code with errors. — Luiggi Mendoza, Aug 27 '12 at 02:58
@LuiggiMendoza Actually i am now not getting those errors if i changed to SessionScope rather than ViewScope.However, it is not sending the parameter values such as Topic_body and topic_vaurl to the server. — user1595858, Aug 27 '12 at 03:15
Why can't you use the ajax functionality that PrimeFaces `` offers? You should post your functional requirement to get better help. — Luiggi Mendoza, Aug 27 '12 at 03:22
@user1595858 you should set execute to "testForm" if you want other inputs, like topic_body and topic_vaurl to be processed. — mrembisz, Aug 27 '12 at 13:02

If you want parameter values Topic_body and topic_vaurl to be sent to the server try following code:

jsf.ajax.request('testForm',null,{execute: 'commandLink',render: 'topic_guid'});

if it did not work replace 'testForm' with ':testForm'.
