Richfaces sample using <a4j:support> not working
rvkishore Nov 21, 2007 8:48 PMI have been having problems getting the <a4j:support> tag to work for me. So I decided to try out an example provided with the Richfaces distro.

<a4j:keepAlive beanName="rsBean2" />
<h:form>
<h:inputText size="4" label="First Addent" value="#{rsBean2.addent1}">
<a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="btn2" />
</h:inputText>
<h:outputText value="+"/>
<h:inputText size="4" label="Second Addent" value="#{rsBean2.addent2}">
<a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="btn2" />
</h:inputText>
<a4j:commandButton style="margin:0 5px" id="btn2" action="#{rsBean2.doSum}"
value="=" reRender="sum2"
disabled="#{rsBean2.addent1 == null or rsBean2.addent2==null}"/>
<h:outputText id="sum2" value="#{rsBean2.sum}" />
</h:form>
<a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
<h:messages />
</a4j:outputPanel>
</h:panelGroup>
</div>
</body>
</html>
and the backing bean
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
@Name("rsBean2")
public class RSBean {
private Integer addent1;
private Integer addent2;
private Integer sum;
public String doSum() {
sum = new Integer((addent1 != null ? addent1.intValue() : 0) + (addent2 != null ? addent2.intValue() : 0));
return null;
}
public Integer getAddent1()
{
return addent1;
}
public void setAddent1(Integer addent1)
{
this.addent1 = addent1;
}
public Integer getAddent2()
{
return addent2;
}
public void setAddent2(Integer addent2)
{
this.addent2 = addent2;
}
public Integer getSum()
{
return sum;
}
public void setSum(Integer sum)
{
this.sum = sum;
}
}
I tried the example with all the major browsers.
I dont see the <a4j:support> events being fired at all and the button stays disabled. What am I doing wrong here? Any ideas highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
