f:ajax does not update t:dataTable on complete

I have a JSF search command button and a tomahawk dataTable that showing the result from a search. When clicking on the command button, the dataTable should output the search result. Anyway, since I use the JSF Ajax, the dataTable doesn't show. I am just wondering whether JSF Ajax cause the problem?

Here is the problematic code that cause the table now render:

<h:commandButton id="search" value="#{msg.Label_Search}" action="#{theBean.doSearch}">
  <f:ajax render="searchStatus" execute="@form" />
</h:commandButton>
<h:outputText id="searchStatus" value="Loading data now..." rendered="#{theBean.searchingNow}" />

<h:panelGroup id="searchResultTable">
  <t:dataTable ... />
</h:panelGroup>

*Take note on this. If the ajax code were removed. It is working fine.

You're only updating the searchStatus, not the searchResultTable when the ajax request completes. So the enduser will indeed never see a visual change in the HTML representation of the searchResultTable.

Fix the <f:ajax render> accordingly so that the searchResultTable is also really updated:

<f:ajax render="searchStatus searchResultTable" execute="@form" />
