APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Ajax update of the values of a HTML form results in a Ajax
  response which cannot be rendered in the browser. For example:
  
  <p:commandButton value="XXXX" action="#{yyyBean.doTest()}"
  update="@form" ajax="true" />
  

Local fix

• When the button submits the form (without ajax) as below, the
  page is rendered correctly:
  
  (<p:commandButton value="XXXX" action="#{yyyBean.doTest()}"
  update="@form" ajax="false" />)

  PrimeFaces component library and AJAX requests.
