This one is really confusing me or maybe I am missing something. However, the a4j support tag does not allow the value evaluation on any input field (inputText, inputCalender etc) unless the field is disabled. Here's what I mean:
<s:decorate template="layout/edit.xhtml">
<ui:define name="label">Timeline</ui:define>
<h:selectOneMenu id="timeline" value="#{selectedTimeline}" required="false"
immediate="true" valueChangeListener="#{task.timelineSelected}">
<s:selectItems id="timelinelst" value="#{timelineList}"
var="timeline" label="#{timeline.description}"
noSelectionLabel="Select..." hideNoSelectionLabel="false" />
<s:convertEntity />
<a:support event="onchange" reRender="timelinedates" ajaxSingle="true"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
</s:decorate>
<a:outputPanel id="timelinedates">
<s:decorate template="layout/edit.xhtml">
<ui:define name="label">Start Timeline</ui:define>
<t:inputCalendar id="startdatecal" renderAsPopup="true"
renderPopupButtonAsImage="true"
popupDateFormat="MM.dd.yyyy"
value="#{selectedTimeline.startDate}" required="true">
<f:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" />
</t:inputCalendar>
</s:decorate>
</s:decorate>
</a:outputPanel>
Based on the timeline drop down selected, I would like the value of the startdatecal field to be refreshed. However unless the inputCalendar field is disabled, the "startDate" method on selectedTimeline (which is an instance in session scope), does not get called. Has anyone come across this? Very preplexing.....
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
