Button in dialog box inside dialog p: does not call controller method

I have a problem as described in the title.

The small description of the problem is as follows: I have a button that is used to open a dialog. Then, a button appears inside that dialog that opens another dialog on top of the first. After clicking the second button, I want the method from the controller to be called, but nothing happens. The value in h: outputText reads correctly, so I think this is not a problem with the connection controller -> view.

I use:

• Spring web 3.1.2.RELEASE
• JSF 2.2.10
• Main interfaces 5.1

code:

beans.xml

<bean id="testController" class="test.TestController" />

      

        
        
        
      

    

TestController.java

public class TestController implements Serializable
{
   private static final long serialVersionUID = 7028608421091861830L;

   private String test;

   public TestController()
   {
      test = "abc";
   }

   public void testMethod()
   {
      test = "cba";
   }

   public String getTest()
   {
      return test;
   }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

test.xhtml

<h:panelGrid columns="1" cellpadding="5">
     <p:commandButton value="Basic" type="button" onclick="PF('dlg1').show();" />
  </h:panelGrid>

  <p:dialog widgetVar="dlg1">
     <h:outputText value="Resistance to PrimeFaces is futile!" />
     <h:panelGrid columns="1" cellpadding="5">
        <p:commandButton value="Basic" type="button" onclick="PF('dlg2').show();" />
     </h:panelGrid>

     <p:dialog widgetVar="dlg2">
        <h:outputText value="#{testController.test}" />
        <p:commandButton value="Call method" type="button" actionListener="#{testController.testMethod}" />
     </p:dialog>
  </p:dialog>

      

        
        
        
      

    

What I have tried:

• adding appendToBody = "true" to every dialog p:
• change from p: commandButton to p: button
• transition from actionListener to action

but nothing helps.

I would appreciate any help or advice that might be the reason for the refusal to call this method.
