Since i've asked my last question (which still unanswered) i continued searching for a solution and lastly i found this topic which i think can help achieve what i want.
So , i tried that solution (which itself is a workaround) but it still didn't work for me.
Here is the code, it s all just a test for this issue :
the index.xhtml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<h:form id="form1">
<!-- once this first commandLink is clisked it will generate another commandlink below it -->
<h:commandLink value="cliick me">
<f:ajax event="click" listener="#{myBean.firstcmdLinkListenerHandler}"/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:form>

The managed Bean : MyBean.java
package mybeans;
import javax.el.ExpressionFactory;
import javax.el.MethodExpression;
import javax.faces.application.Application;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.component.html.HtmlCommandLink;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.event.AjaxBehaviorEvent;
import javax.faces.event.BehaviorEvent;
import org.primefaces.component.behavior.ajax.AjaxBehaviorListenerImpl;
import org.primefaces.context.RequestContext;
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class MyBean {
public void handleClose(AjaxBehaviorEvent abe){
System.out.println("!!!-->>>>> the Ajax Behaviour Works !!!!! ");
}
public void reLoadCityList( BehaviorEvent event ){
System.out.println("!!!-->>>>> the reLoadCityList method Works !!!!! ");
}
public void firstcmdLinkListenerHandler(AjaxBehaviorEvent abe){
System.out.println("firstcmdLinkListenerHandleris running ! ");
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application application = fc.getApplication();
ExpressionFactory ef = fc.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
UIComponent form1 = fc.getViewRoot().findComponent("form1");
if(form1!=null){
//Creating the commandLink
HtmlCommandLink mynewcmdlink = (HtmlCommandLink)application.createComponent(HtmlCommandLink.COMPONENT_TYPE);
mynewcmdlink.setId("mynewcmdlink");
mynewcmdlink.setValue("clickme2!!");
MyAjaxBehavior pajax = new MyAjaxBehavior();
Class[] par = new Class[1];
par[0] = BehaviorEvent.class;
//par[0] = AjaxBehaviorEvent.class; (*)
//pajax.setListener( myCreateMetExpression( "reLoadCityList", true, //void.class, par ) );
//i tried with both AjaxBehaviorEvent and BehaviorEvent as in (*)
//MethodExpression me = ef.createMethodExpression( //fc.getELContext(), "#{myBean.handleClose}", void.class, par);
MethodExpression me = ef.createMethodExpression( fc.getELContext(), "#{myBean.reLoadCityList}", void.class, par);
//pajax.setListener(me); //i've tried with this too but it wasn't sucesseful
pajax.addAjaxBehaviorListener( new AjaxBehaviorListenerImpl( me ) );
pajax.setProcess( "@this" );
mynewcmdlink.addClientBehavior( "change", pajax );
//adding thecommanLink to the form
form1.getChildren().add(mynewcmdlink);
//Refreshing the form to see the added commandLink :
RequestContext context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.update("form1");
context.update("form1:foo");
}else
System.out.println("form1 is null!!");
}
and the MyAjaxBehavior.java used as the workaround in the primefaces forum article:
package mybeans;
import java.util.HashMap;
import javax.el.ELContext;
import javax.el.MethodExpression;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.event.AbortProcessingException;
import javax.faces.event.BehaviorEvent;
import org.primefaces.component.behavior.ajax.AjaxBehavior;
public class MyAjaxBehavior extends AjaxBehavior {
@Override
public Object saveState(FacesContext context) {
HashMap<String, Object> map;
map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
map.put("update", getUpdate());
map.put("process", getProcess());
map.put("oncomplete", getOncomplete());
map.put("onerror", getOnerror());
map.put("onsuccess", getOnsuccess());
map.put("onstart", getOnstart());
map.put("listener", getListener());
if (initialStateMarked())
return null;
return UIComponentBase.saveAttachedState(context, map);
}
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Override
public void restoreState(FacesContext context, Object state) {
if (state != null) {
HashMap<String, Object> map;
map = (HashMap<String, Object>) UIComponentBase
.restoreAttachedState(context, state);
setUpdate((String) map.get("update"));
setProcess((String) map.get("process"));
setOncomplete((String) map.get("oncomplete"));
setOnerror((String) map.get("onerror"));
setOnsuccess((String) map.get("onsuccess"));
setOnstart((String) map.get("onstart"));
setListener((MethodExpression) map.get("listener"));
}
}
@Override
public void broadcast(BehaviorEvent event) throws AbortProcessingException {
ELContext eLContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext();
// Backward compatible implementation of listener invocation
if (getListener() != null) {
try {
getListener().invoke(eLContext, new Object[] { event });
} catch (IllegalArgumentException exception) {
getListener().invoke(eLContext, new Object[0]);
}
}
}
}
Do something like this
Panel tp = new Panel();
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExpressionFactory ef = fc.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
MethodExpression me = ef.createMethodExpression(fc.getELContext(), "#{myView.closeIt}", null, new Class<?>[]{BehaviorEvent.class});
AjaxBehavior ajaxBehavior = (AjaxBehavior) fc.getApplication().createBehavior(AjaxBehavior.BEHAVIOR_ID);
ajaxBehavior.setProcess("@this");
ajaxBehavior.addAjaxBehaviorListener(new AjaxBehaviorListenerImpl(me, me));
tp.addClientBehavior("close", ajaxBehavior);
component.getChildren().add(tp);
myView.closeIt()
public void closeIt(CloseEvent ce){
Panel p = (Panel) ce.getComponent();
System.out.println("Do what ever you want");
}
