event not working - no js generated

[pbreen]

Hello folks,

I am about to give up on Ajax4jsf. I just cannot get the simple example of the <a4j:support> tag to work.

I think it might be a versioning problem. I am using WebSphere Studio Client Developer ver. 7 and the ajax4jsf-1.1.1.jar implementation. This example is so easy I really don't need you to see the code but here it is anyway.

I have completed the three steps required.
1. Added jar file to project
2. updated the web.xml with the filter tag
3. added the taglib directive as show right below here

<%@taglib uri="https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/ajax" prefix="a4j"%>



index
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">



<f:view>


<hx:scriptCollector id="scriptCollector1">
<h:form id="form1" styleClass="form">
<h:panelGrid id="grid1" styleClass="panelGrid" >

<h:inputText id="text1" styleClass="inputText" value="#{tester.tf1Value}">
<a4j:support event="onblur"
actionListener="#{tester.testIt}"
reRender="text2"/>
</h:inputText>
<h:inputText id="text3" styleClass="inputText"></h:inputText>
<h:outputText id="text2" styleClass="outputText" value="#{tester.text2}" ></h:outputText>
</h:panelGrid>

</h:form>
</hx:scriptCollector>


</f:view>


Here is the event method I placed in the bean. On the onblur event, the text should show up in my second text field but instead I get a javascript error on the first line of my jsp saying A4J is not defined. There is nothing but a doctype tag on the first line.


public void testIt(ActionEvent e){

System.out.println("yeah! It worked");
setText2("blah blah blah");
}

Help!

please use a4j:log component to get the client side request information.

Tried putting in this tag but it didn't work. No popup showed up. A different example I looked at had java script at the top of the rendered output but mine doesn't. Could the javascript generation in the response be failing somehow?

<a4j:log popup="true"></a4j:log>

if you used popup mode you need to press "ctrl+shift+L" to call popup. In popup=false - it will be rendered where placed.

Now it can't recognize the LOG object in the generated script. But at least it generated a script for the a4j log tag. Would I need to make Webshpere App Server do server side includes for this to work?
