I have a situation where reRender attribute reRenders the whole form. Here is the snippet
<a4j:outputPanel>
<h:inputText id="description" size="75" value="#{manageAddrBlkBean.addressBlock.description}" >
<a4j:support event="onfocus" reRender="usrGrpList"/>
</h:inputText>
</a4j:outputPanel>
The moment inputText component gets the Focus the JSF form hangs for a while then i observed from the Log file its reRendering the whole form
The reRender happens on closing of pop-up window as shown in the following snippet
<a4j:region>
<h:panelGrid columns="4" styleClass="detail" columnClasses="label">
<h:outputText value="Users/User Group" />
<h:selectOneMenu id="usrGrpList" value="#{manageAddrBlkBean.selectedUserGroup}" >
<f:selectItem itemLabel="" itemValue="" />
<f:selectItems value="#{manageAddrBlkBean.userGroupList}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:commandButton id="findUserAndGroup" value="Manage User/UserGroup" immediate="true"
onmousedown="createPopUp('userAndGroupLookup','find')"
onclick="return false">
</h:commandButton>
<h:message for="usrGrpList" />
</h:panelGrid>
</a4j:region>
Any pointers/suggestions to avoid reRendering of whole form using a4j reRender attribute will be highly appreciated
