Updating partial element submits the whole form

Question

I am facing such a problem. I want to refresh one internal element of a h:form, a p:dataList, and in order to do it I have

<p:remoteCommand name="updateSet" update="import-statuses-admin-list" process="import-statuses-admin-list"/>

Function updateSet is called in every 5 seconds. The thing is that, there are some other elements in my form and they are also sent, eg.

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{importXmlManagementBean.statusFilter}" id="statusFilter">

I'd rather have only this list p:dataList submitted, without sending all form. Is it normal behaviour or I am missing something?

Your question is confusing and ambiguous. First of all where's the `update` attribute? As the code is now, it shouldn't update anything by default. — BalusC, Jun 14 '16 at 12:48
You can use Poll to update your attribute with a specifique time — Youcef LAIDANI, Jun 14 '16 at 13:18
@YoucefLaidani Update with a certain time interval is not a problem. The thing is the all form is being sent, although only a part of it is specified. — Szymon Roziewski, Jun 14 '16 at 13:57

@BalusC: In my humble opinion, the original title, albeit not the best, might contain the words less experienced users search for making it easier to find this and the duplicate — Kukeltje, Jun 14 '16 at 14:29

Add to remoteCommand the attribute update with the id of the datalist you want to update, and in the process specify the same.

Actually I have done that, but whole form keeps updating. – Szymon Roziewski Jun 14 '16 at 13:54
It appears that you actually meant to say *"but the whole form keeps submitting"* which is quite different. – BalusC Jun 14 '16 at 14:11
Keeps updating the bean... – Szymon Roziewski Jun 15 '16 at 09:11
Did you try as BalusC pointed in the linked question to mark as partialSubmit="true"? – xacy Jun 15 '16 at 09:19
It might be owkward to say, but it started working, but as far as I know, nothing in the view xhtml had been changed. But I introduced this attribute to the form. – Szymon Roziewski Jun 15 '16 at 15:56
