Problems using Primefaces + Webflow with p:Ajax

[bjezze]

Hi there,
We're using Primefaces + Webflow and Im having some problem to get my Ajax-request go through Webflow.
I can make it work when using a p:commandButton but not with p:ajax. Should they not work the same or am I missing something?

I can make p:ajax "talk" to a backing-bean but since Im using Webflow my plan was that all service-calls should be handled by webflow. Is this possible?

Here's an example!

searchinput.xhtml:

<p:panel id="searchPanel" header="Search customer">         

         CustomerIdfromTextInput: <h:inputText value="#{searchForm.customerIdfromTextInput}" />
         <p:commandButton value="Fetch customer" action="flowCommandAction" update="customerInfoPanel"/>
         
         <br />
         CustomerIdfromRadioInput: 
         <h:selectOneRadio value="#{searchForm.customerIdfromRadioInput}" >
            <f:selectItem itemLabel="Customer 1" itemValue="1"/>
            <f:selectItem itemLabel="Customer 2" itemValue="2"/>
            <f:selectItem itemLabel="Customer 3" itemValue="3"/>
            
            <p:ajax action="flowRadioAction" update="customerInfoPanel"/>            
         </h:selectOneRadio>

      </p:panel>
      
      <p:panel id="customerInfoPanel" header="Customer information">
         Firstname: <h:outputText value="#{customer.firstName}"/><br/>
         Lastname: <h:outputText value="#{customer.lastName}"/><br/>
         CustomerId: <h:outputText value="#{customer.id}"/><br/>
      </p:panel>

flow.xml:

   <view-state id="searchinput" model="searchForm">
      <transition on="flowCommandAction">         
         <evaluate expression="customerService.getCustomer(searchForm.customerIdfromTextInput)" result="flowScope.customer"/>
      </transition>
      <transition on="flowRadioAction" validate="false">
         <evaluate expression="customerService.getCustomer(searchForm.customerIdfromRadioInput)" result="flowScope.customer"/>
      </transition>      
   </view-state>

When I'm clicking the "commandButton" the call is handled by webflow.. but when I click the radiobutton the call "is lost" on the server!

We're using:
Primefaces 2.2.1
WebFlow 2.2.1
Spring 3.0.5
Mojarra 2.0.3 (SNAPSHOT 20100726)

I have the same problem, could you find a solution?

Write a controller with method:
public void runAction(String eventId) {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalConte xt().getRequestMap().put(JsfView.EVENT_KEY, eventId);
}
and then invoke:
<p:selectOneMenu ...
<p:ajax update="..." listener="#{controller.runAction('test')}" />
<f:selectItem...
of course you need to have transation 'test' in your view.
