---------------------------------------------------------------

Ok found the issue, the issue is closely related to MYFACES 4204

The spec states:

{color:#654982}_Locate and update the {{javax.faces.ViewState}} value for all JSF forms covered in the +*{{render}} target list*+ whose ID starts with the same <VIEW_ROOT_CONTAINER_CLIENT_ID> value._{color}

So the example also is wrong here. Clearly the only forms updated are the once covered in the render target list, because it covers both forms in the execute but not in the render target list.
 <f:ajax execute="a :b" render=":b" /> 
 Which clearly says update only :b in this case.

So we have two issues. My code which does not take yet the viewroot prefix into consideration (after the 4204 patch. I will fix it the next few days, and the example itself which basically, it simply just updates the render targets atm... no biggie

this is just old behavior, all I have to add is the prefix check which will not make a difference)

Either way a quick fix for a permanent update all viewroots {color:#654982}*_myfaces.config.no_portlet_env = true;_*{color}

Also another one could be simply to check all forms in the page for the correct prefix and update all of them with a matching prefix. But this also would be not spec conform. I guess we will closely follow the spec route here, no matter what.

In either way, the example clearly is wrong here by not adding both forms as render targets, but I personally also think the spec itself is not ideal in this area and overly complicated (it should always update all forms under one viewroot with the viewstate not only the render targets)

To sum it up.
 * To fix the example add both forms as render targets this is spec conform
 * I have to do a small adjustment in my code
 * The spec itselfs might still be broken in this are, because  my personaly guess is you safely always can update all forms within the same viewroot without any problem at all.

> After releasing MyFaces 2.3.1, I noticed a regression in cross form submit from Spec Issue 790: [https://github.com/javaee/javaserverfaces-spec/issues/790]
> HTML sample code:
> {code:java}
> <h:form id="a"> 
> <h:outputText value="This is 'form a' " /> 
> <h:outputLabel for="input1" value="Enter a new value for input1: " /> <h:inputText id="input1" value="#{simpleBean.input}" /> 
> <h:commandButton id="submitButton1" value="Click here to execute 'form a' and 'form b' but re-render 'form b'"> 
> <f:ajax execute="a :b" render=":b" /> 
> </h:commandButton> 
> </h:form> 
> <h:form id="b"> 
> <h:outputText value="This is 'form b' " /> 
> <h:outputLabel for="input2" value="Enter a new value for input2: " /> <h:inputText id="input2" value="#{simpleBean.input}" /> 
> <h:commandLink id="commandLink1" value="Click here to execute 'form a' and 'form b'  but re-render 'form a'"> 
> <f:ajax execute="b :a" render=":a" /> 
> </h:commandLink> 
> </h:form>
> {code}
>  
> The issue is that on MyFaces 2.3.1 the hidden input javax.faces.ViewState is being removed from form "b" after we submit form "a" and viceversa. As a result, cross form submit is not working as expected, you either have to refresh the page before executing submit on the second form or you have to execute submit twice so the update is reflected in the other form.

> I have provided a sample app that shows the issue when MyFaces 2.3.1 is used.

>  # Enter a text in input1 and click submit button next to the input. Check the rendered page.
