I am having trouble getting my actionListener in a <p:commandButton> to fire inside of a dialog. I've tried changing it to action, removing the (), adding the (), changing the scope of the managed bean, moving around the ajax statements and nothing has helped so far. Everything worked until I updated Netbeans, everything broke, somehow a library was removed, it was the commons-fileupload jar.
This happened with no changes to the code, only after netbeans updated. Netbeans 7.3, JSF2.2, Tomcat 7, jdk1.7, primefaces 4.0. There is a working version of this inside of my tomcat manager application, if I could possibly retrieve that hopefully everything would be back in working order but I can't find anything about getting the files back from tomcat. So my question is, why is this not firing? Is it the order of my calls in the button? I can't wrap my head around why this is not working.
EDIT Error I recieve after switching form and dialog positions -
Jul 10, 2014 11:50:48 AM com.sun.faces.application.view.FaceletViewHandlingStrategy handleRenderException
