I am programming a page where a user can change his account settings. Also his password.
But i don't want to show the fields where he can type in the new password all the time.
So i made a commandButton "Change Password" when i click this the inputfields for the new password should show up. I used a c:if for that. When the button is clicked i set a the boolean value showPasswordFields in my ManagedBean on true. This works. But the page update with ajax does not work.
I used this line in my commandButton to update the whole form:
<p:ajax update=":formUserSettings" />
Here is my page:
