How to refresh page in JSF on selectOneMenu selection?

Question

I have a page containing a PrimeFaces (2.2.1) Editor component, a Refresh button and a selectOneMenu, whose selection affects the contents of the Editor, as follows:

Answer 1

please try the onchange="window.location.reload();" approach like:

<h:selectOneMenu id="skipLines" ... onchange="window.location.reload();">
    <f:selectItems ... />
    <f:ajax ... />
</h:selectOneMenu>

This works just fine in my environment (GF 3.1.1, PF 3.2) but please be aware that there is the possibility of interrupting some ajax functinality.

Hope this helpes, have Fun!

Answer 2

Invoke window.location.replace(window.location.href) rather than submit() in the onchange event, as in:

<h:selectOneMenu id="skipLines" ... onchange="window.location.replace(window.location.href);">
    <f:selectItems ... />
    <f:ajax ... />
</h:selectOneMenu>
