Calling Managed Bean Method From JavaScript [duplicate]

Answer 1

You have a few options. If you are using JSF 2.0 you can build a composite component around these area tags.

The easiest way however would be to invoke a hidden JSF input button.

<h:commandButton id="hdnBtn" actionListener="#{personBean.method}" style="display: none;" />

This will render as an input HTML element on the page that you can access from Javascript and invoke its click event.

onclick="jQuery('#form:hdnBtn').click();"
