a4j:poll, rich:dataList and reRender

[adamw]

Hello,

I have a list of elements (displayed using rich:dataList), and in every element I want to refresh only some part of it, on regular intervals of time. To the parts I want to refresh I assign an id, and if I then tell a4j:poll to refresh that id everything works.

There is a problem though if I want to refresh that element "additionally", for example when a a4j:commandLink is clicked. I put the id I defined in the reRender attribute and ... the parts of the list aren't refreshed. All other id-s that are in reRender, get refreshed. Any idea on where the problem lies?

code snippet of what you have now will be highly appreciated

Hello,

so, with some shortcuts, as the page is quite long:

 <f:view>
 <h:form>
 <a4j:poll interval="15000"
 reRender="cacheitem_information" />
 </h:form>

 <h:form>
 <a4j:region id="ClearAlertsSubmit" renderRegionOnly="false">
 <a4j:commandLink value="Clear all alerts" action="#{monitor.clearAlerts}" limitToList="true"
 reRender="cacheitem_information" ajaxSingle="true" />
 </a4j:region>
 </h:form>

 <rich:dataGrid columns="1" var="cacheItem" value="#{admin.cacheItems}" styleClass="cacheitem_table" id="cacheitems">
 <rich:simpleTogglePanel switchType="client" label="Information">
 <h:panelGrid columns="2" columnClasses="left_text,right_text" id="cacheitem_information">
 (...)
 </h:panelGrid>
 </rich:simpleTogglePanel>

 (...)
 </rich:dataGrid>
 </f:view>

The poll refreshes the panel grid, the command link doesn't.

does it make sense if you remove limitToList="true" ?

Yes, now it works :)

But I have no idea why --- so why? The ID I want refreshed is on the list, so why doesn't it refresh?

Thanks!
