I started working with JSF and primefaces a short time ago (Primefaces 6.1.4, Mojarra 2.1.8, JBoss AS 7.1.1).
I have a problem using the primefaces calendar and commandButton actionListener() method. When the calendar component is used, then the commanButton's actionListener() never gets called. Commenting out the calendar in the xhtml will cause the commandButton's actionListener() to get called again.
Is there something simple I'm overlooking or are these two not compatible with each other?
Thank you in advance for any comments or suggestions!
Below is the sample code for showing the problem:
