We have to update few field values in to the model without submitting the form. And 'autosubmit' for these fields is set to false and these components are inside a certain panelGroupLayout or any container. I created binding of this parent container to the backing bean and written method to execute upon some event. I have used parentContainer.processUpdates(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()) exprecting it to push all it's child components values in to the model. But, still the values are not updated in to the model.
We want to minimize the request's to server for updating few component's values in the model. So, we are looking for any other approach that will be feasible for this scenario.
