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

I doubt that update="personForm:phonesPanel" works without a ":" before personForm. This should be the correct one:

update=":personForm:phonesPanel"

Answer 2

Answering my own question.

The answer is: update="personForm:phonesPanel"

Thanks all!

Answer 3

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

<h:form prependId="false">

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

update="phonesPanel"
