I am in the process of migrating an application with JSF pages to JBoss #7.4. Started experiencing couple of issues as given below. However, my application with the JSF pages works well with JBoss #6.1.

1. Was throwing an exception – This I could fix per this post by disabling ajax call: “ajax = false”.

2. Button needs to be clicked twice to call the method mentioned in an action attribute.

I have given below the code of xhtml & the calling java method. Can someone throw some light so that method will be called with a single click of the button?.

Thank you,

xhtml:
 <h:form id="ifgCreatorForm" onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) return false;">  
                        <p:growl id="eventGuideGrowl" for="eventBean" sticky="true"/>
                        <div class="eventBar">
                            <span style="display:inline-block; position: absolute; width: 100%; left: 0px; text-align: center;">

Java Method:

@Named("event")
@ConversationScoped
public class EventBean implements Serializable {
  public String goToJob() {
    logger.info("In goToJob");
    return eventGuidePageNavigation.TO_JOB.toString();
    }

 public String goToEvent() {
    logger.info("In goToEvent");
    return eventGuidePageNavigation.TO_EVENT.toString();
    }
}
