The f:ajax listener method in h:selectOneMenu is not executed
The page is generated correctly with appropriate values in managed bean, but ajax events in these two h:selectOneMenus don't works. Listener is not called. An error has to be somewhere within tags, but I don't see it.
<f:view>
<h:form>
<h:messages />
<h:panelGrid columns="3">
<h:outputLabel value="Choose your faculty: *" for="faculties" />
<h:selectOneMenu id="faculties" value="#{registrateStudent.selectedFaculty}" >
<f:ajax event="change" listener="#{registrateStudent.genSpecializations}" execute="faculties" render="specializations" />
<f:selectItems value="#{registrateStudent.listFaculty}" var="curFac" itemLabel="#{curFac.name}" itemValue="#{curFac}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:message id="message_faculties" for="faculties" />
<h:outputLabel value="Choose your specialization: *" for="specializations" />
<h:selectOneMenu id="specializations" value="#{registrateStudent.selectedSpecialization}" >
<f:selectItems value="#{registrateStudent.listSpecialization}" var="curSpec" itemLabel="#{curSpec.name}" itemValue="#{curSpec}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:message id="message_specializations" for="specializations" />
Managed Bean:
@ManagedBean(name = "registrateStudent")
@ViewScoped
public class RegistrateStudent {
private Faculty selectedFaculty;
private List<Faculty> listFaculty;
private Specialization selectedSpecialization;
private List<Specialization> listSpecialization;
private boolean showSpecialization = false;

}
@PostConstruct
public void init() {
listFaculty = ff.findAll();
if (listFaculty != null) {
selectedFaculty = listFaculty.get(0);
listSpecialization = sf.findByFaculty(selectedFaculty.getIdFaculty());
if (listSpecialization != null) {
selectedSpecialization = listSpecialization.get(0);

public void genSpecializations(AjaxBehaviorEvent event) {

this.showSpecialization = true;
} else {
JsfUtil.addSuccessMessage("faculties", "We don't have specializations for such faculty");
}
}
}
UPDATE:
I've found out a few interesting things:
<f:ajax> tag doesn't work at <h:link>, <h:selectOneMenu>, <h:button>, <h:commandButton>. In this cases incorrect values in render attribute is not noticed, but incorrect value of event attribute generate an error.
<h:outputLabel>, <h:inputText> work with <f:ajax> properly
The <f:ajax> requires jsf.js file being included in the HTML <head>. It contains all JS functions for doing the JSF ajax magic.
To achieve this, ensure that you're using <h:head> instead of <head> in the master template. JSF will then automatically include the necessary <script> element there pointing to jsf.js.

Note that in a bit decent webbrowser with a bit decent webdeveloper toolset like Firefox's Web Developer Toolbar and/or Firebug you should immediately have noticed JS errors like jsf is undefined when the ajax request is to be executed. That should at least have given something to think about.
Update: as per your update

The <h:link> and <h:button> are intented for GET requests only, not POST requests. It should however work just fine on <h:selectOneMenu> and <h:commandButton>. Don't you have more code into the complete picture which you omitted from the question for simplicity? Which JSF impl/version are you using? Are you using the right libraries in classpath? It look like that you must really have messed up something.
To convince you (and myself) I just created the following copy'n'paste'n'runnable testcase

It runs fine with Mojarra 2.1.1 on Tomcat 7.0.12.

Be careful if you have f:metadata and f:viewparam tags since the setters of the parameters will be called with every ajax request.
Can you provide the error log if there is any error/exception that is being generated when you call the ajax call?
加载中,请稍侯......
