SelectOneMenu updates other SelectOneMenu

I want to update the second SelectOneMenu when I select any element of the first SelectOnMenu. As of now, I get the values ​​for SelectOneMenus from ManagedBean. I assume that I should use AJAX (jquery) to send parameters to a ManagedBean.

<h:form>
    <div class="center">
        <h:panelGrid id="editTable" columns="2" styleClass="center">
            ...
            <h:outputText value="#{msg.timetable_list_category}" />
            <h:selectOneMenu class="category">
                <f:selectItems value="#{categoryBackingBean.categorys}" var="c"
                    itemLabel="#{c.category_Name}" itemValue="#{c.id}" />
            </h:selectOneMenu>

                <h:outputText value="#{msg.timetable_list_seminarblock}" />
            <h:selectOneMenu class="seminarblock">
                <f:selectItems value="#{seminarblockBackingBean.seminarblocks}" var="s"
                    itemLabel="#{s.seminarblock_Name}" itemValue="#{s.seminarblock_Id}" />
            </h:selectOneMenu>
            ...
        </h:panelGrid>
        ...
    </div>
</h:form>

In fact, you can use a ValueChangeListener, which is called when the value of your selectOneMenu changes:

<h:selectOneMenu class="category" valueChangeListener="#{yourBean.selectOneMenuListener}">
    <f:selectItems value="#{categoryBackingBean.categorys}" var="c"
        itemLabel="#{c.category_Name}" itemValue="#{c.id}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

Then in your bean you have this method:

public void selectOneMenuListener(ValueChangeEvent event) {
    //This will return you the newly selected
    //value as an object. You'll have to cast it.
    Object newValue = event.getNewValue(); 
    //The rest of your processing logic goes here...
}

To refresh the page, you can add onchange="submit()"to yours <h:selectOneMenu/>. For partial rendering, you can try adding this <f:ajax/>instead onchange="submit()":

<h:selectOneMenu class="category" valueChangeListener="#{yourBean.selectOneMenuListener}">
    <f:selectItems value="#{categoryBackingBean.categorys}" var="c"
        itemLabel="#{c.category_Name}" itemValue="#{c.id}" />
    <f:ajax event="change" execute="@form" render="theIdOfTheComponentYouWantToReRender"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
