jsf and primefaces update problem

Question

I have a JSF page with two forms (pseudo-code below).

First form is for a user and has text fields and a table of phone numbers, and a link for adding a new phone

Answer 1

Other thing you can do is set the "prependId" form attribute to "false":

This way you don't need to use the nested id's and might use:

update="phonesPanel"
