commandButton in rendered Panel does not work

[petrovic]

Hi,

can anyone help me with this issue ?

When I render an outputPanel the form inside does not work properly:

...
<a4j:outputPanel id="panel">
 <a4j:form>
 <h:panelGroup rendered="#{show}">
 <rich:dataTable id="editTable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="400" border="0" var="aList" value="#{List}">
 <rich:columnGroup>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="Type" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{aList.type}" />
 </rich:column>
 </rich:columnGroup>
 <rich:columnGroup>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="time" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <h:inputText value="#{aList.time}" />
 </rich:column>
 </rich:columnGroup>
 <rich:columnGroup>
 <rich:column colspan="2">
 <a4j:commandButton action="#{evenBeant.saveAction}" value="speichern" reRender="panel"/>
 </rich:column>
 </rich:columnGroup>
 </rich:dataTable>
 </h:panelGroup>
 </a4j:form>
</a4j:outputPanel>
...

The outputPanel get rendered by another action but the commandButton does not perform the saveAction. But when I move the commandButton outside the panelGroup, the action works.

I'm using the latest snapshot of a4j (1.1.1) and richfaces (3.0.1) ...

Any ideas?

I'm thankful for any advice ... petrovic

It is not about a4j or richfaces. JSF itself works like that. You have to have #{show} in the scope longer than 'request' .
It should be set to true already at the beginning of the second phase. Otherwise, the processing of the inner content will be skipped completely.
