Call JSF 2.0 ajax bean action on moveend event.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. set jsFunction on moveend event in gmap:eventlistener 
2. use jsf.ajax.request() JavaScript as part of JSF 2.0 to post form
commandButton

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Using a form with hidden fields, it is expected that the ajax request would
update field values in the managed bean and call the managed bean action in
the commandButton. 

Nothing happens, however if you manually click the commandButton, the
correct action occurs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1.3 u2
Glassfish 3
Linux 2.6.31
Java SE 1.6.15

Please provide any additional information below.
This is the opposite of a usual use case; instead of a user performing some
action in a form that updates the map, here we want the map to update the
managed bean using Ajax to retrieve more information about the new location
of the map.

Source code reproducer attached.

I saw your sample,
Please set renderOnWindowLoad="false" and try again.

It still doesn't seem to work, the bean method updateLocation() is never called.
I just tried redeploying it with renderOnWindowLoad="false" (I must have 
accidentally
changed it to true after testing it with false in the uploaded version) and it 
still
isn't calling the bean method. I tried a similar thing with OpenLayers4JSF and 
the
bean method gets called, but there are a number of other features missing in
OpenLayers4JSF, so I'd prefer to use gmaps4jsf.

I set its Priority to High.

After seeing the code, I found a JavaScript error:
"Error: element is null
Source File:
http://localhost:8080/MapBug/javax.faces.resource/jsf.js.jsf?ln=javax.faces&stag
e=Development
Line: 1676"

because of the following line:
jsf.ajax.request("button1", "click", {execute: '@form', render: 'myMap'});

I fixed it by:
jsf.ajax.request(document.getElementById("frm:button1"), "click", {execute: 
'@form',
render: 'myMap'});

After doing this I found the messages in the log saying that the action is 
called:
"INFO: called"

So this problem is not a GMaps4JSF. GMaps4JSF responsibility ends when the 
moveend
event occurs and the JS handler function is called (Which already happens). I 
digged
more in the problem as I wished to make your code work.

Good Luck, and tell me if you have questions.

Many many thanks, I didn't even think of doing this, but it now seems obvious in
hindsight. I was led astray by the terseness of the JSF docs. Feel free to add 
and
modify that code to your examples.

Cheers
