<h:outputText value="First name:"/>
<p:inplace id="firstname" editor="true">
     <p:ajax event="save" onsuccess="#{employeeController.saveName()}"/>
     <p:inputText id="firstName" value="#{emp.firstName}"
                  required="true" label="text"

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Employee employee = context.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(context, "#{emp}", Employee.class);
Long id = employee.getId();
// ...

Employee employee = model.getRowData();
Long id = employee.getId();
// ...

public void onValueChanged(AjaxBehaviorEvent event)
{
    Employee employee = (Employee)((UIOutput)event.getSource()).getValue();
    //...
