In JSF2, is it possible to change the of value of src of ui:include dynamically using Ajax request (like for example PrimeFaces p:commandButton)? Thank you.
<h:form>
<h:commandLink value="Display 2" action="#{fTRNav.doNav()}">
<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{fTRNav.pageName}" value="/disp2.xhtml" />
</h:commandLink>
</h:form>
<ui:include src="#{fTRNav.pageName}"></ui:include>
That's what I have right now. Is it possible to make it Ajax (using p:commandButton)?

The JSTL tags as proposed in the other answer are not necessary and it is not nicely reuseable.
Here's a basic example using pure JSF (assuming that you runs Servlet 3.0 / EL 2.2, otherwise you indeed need to use <f:setPropertyActionListener> like as in your question):
<h:form>
<f:ajax render=":include">
<h:commandLink value="page1" action="#{bean.setPage('page1')}" />
<h:commandLink value="page2" action="#{bean.setPage('page2')}" />
<h:commandLink value="page3" action="#{bean.setPage('page3')}" />
</f:ajax>
</h:form>
<h:panelGroup id="include">
<ui:include src="#{bean.page}.xhtml" />
</h:panelGroup>
with
private String page;
@PostConstruct
public void init() {
this.page = "page1"; // Ensure that default is been set.
}
// Getter + setter.
here is how I render subcontent dynamically using MnagedBean. First I set page in the center (that will be changed by menu triggers) with private String name="/main_pages/mainpage.xhtml", then each time submenu is clicked the HelloBean resets "name" and contents is updated by update=":content" - then new name is retrieved from Bean:

my ManagedBean:
/*
* To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
* and open the template in the editor.
*/
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
import java.io.Serializable;
/**
*
* @author root
*/
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class HelloBean implements Serializable {
/**
* Creates a new instance of HelloBean
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String name="/main_pages/mainpage.xhtml";
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
You need to use the <c:if test="condition"> tag around the ui:include and then when the ajax button is clicked, the panel that holds the ui:include is refreshed.
Example:
First make sure that the jstl core taglib is included by inserting the following namespace in the document:
<html xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core>"
Then, you can use the <c:if> tag as follows :
<c:if test="#{!logBean.loggedIn}">
<ui:include src="loginpage.xhtml" />
</c:if>
<c:if test="#{logBean.loggedIn}">
<ui:include src="home.xhtml" />
</c:if>
