checking postback in JSF after submit

I am creating app in JSF. I want that when I click on submit button, then it should call the same page, but show edit button instead of submit button. How can I do that?

Let the action method set a boolean property in a @ViewScoped bean to toggle the buttons and return null or void to return to the same view. Let the view conditionally render the submit and edit buttons based on the boolean.

Basically,

private boolean editmode;

public void submit() {
    editmode = true;
}

public boolean isEditmode() {
    return editmode;
}

With

<h:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{bean.submit}" rendered="#{not bean.editmode}" />
<h:commandButton value="Edit" action="#{bean.edit}" rendered="#{bean.editmode}" />

Unrelated to the concrete question, this is however a quite strange requirement. Shouldn't the "Submit button" in your question actually be an "Edit button" and the "Edit button" in your question actually be a "Save button"? That'd make more sense.
