    Components unresponsive

      I recently upgraded my RichFaces version from 3.0.1 to 3.1.0. In doing so, I have seen that some of my components (tabs on a rich tab panel, checkboxes with nested a4j support) have become unresponsive to click events. Sometimes they recognize the click and perform the correct axis call to the back end and some times they do not. Has anyone else noticed this behavior in the latest version? Any thoughts on what might be causing it?

          I noticed the same behaviour as well and have reverted back to 3.0.1

            Guys, your comments are very unhelpful

            All my examples from 3.0.1 just works fine in 3.1.0. So what?

              I just wanted to see if other people had been experiencing these issues. I will be posting a code sample tomorrow if that helps.

                Okay, as promised, here's my example. When the page loads, type in a value into the 'Code' field and click the 'Lookup Code' button. A tab panel should show up now. In the first tab, there is a checkbox with a4j:support nested in it. When you click the box, it should change the 'message' property of the TestBean class and re-render the message displayed under the checkbox. What I'm seeing when I try to do this is that it doesn't always recognize the changing of the checkbox. Sometimes I can change it mulitple times before it finally does the onchange ajax call. When I use richfaces 3.0.1 with a seperate ajax4jsf jar everything works exactly as expected, not missing one event. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong here or why this no longer works in the new Rich Faces version? Thanks.

                • 5. Re: Components unresponsive

                  does it make any changes if you remove rendered="#{!empty TestBean.code}" from the panelGroup ?

                  • 6. Re: Components unresponsive

                    Ok, Update: we took you code in blank RichFaces 3.1.0 project and ran under the different profiles (JSF 1.1, JSF 1.2, MyFaces). Works just well everywhere. We even tried different filters. No luck. Still works.

                    Can you send the test war file? Look likes the problem is outside of the snippets you sent.

                    • 7. Re: Components unresponsive

                      If I remove the rendered attribute the checkbox works as before. But like I said, in the old version it worked with the rendered attribute. Where can I send the WAR to? BTW, I'm using JBoss 4.0.4 GA if that matters at all.

                      • 8. Re: Components unresponsive

                        Attach it to this jira issue:
                        http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-982

                        • 9. Re: Components unresponsive

                          Okay, I have attached the WAR to the JIRA issue. Let me know what you're findings are. I appreciate the help.

                          • 10. Re: Components unresponsive

                            We test it.

                            Do you test it with IE only?

                            • 11. Re: Components unresponsive

                              No. I tested wit both IE and Firefox. Same results regardless of the browser used.

                              • 12. Re: Components unresponsive

                                Your war file works fine on our side. Only difference between the FF and IE, that onchange in IE is fired only when user left the field.

                                So, war did not bring the clarification.

                                Last question - do you have any other application(s) deployed to the same Jboss server?

                                • 13. Re: Components unresponsive

                                  I don't have any other applications deployed besides this one. I installed JBoss 4.0.4 GA using the default server profile. The only custom thing I added after I set up the server was a datasource xml file. What version were you testing the WAR with?

                                  • 14. Re: Components unresponsive

                                    4.0.5GA
