a4j:support inside rich:dataTable

[jucobb2]

Is it possible to add an a4j:support tag within a rich:dataTable to look for event "onRowClick" I have tried over and over to get this to work and I dont know if I am just doing something wrong. I had the same problem getting an a4j:support to work in a rich:listshuttle component. Can you add a4j:support to a rich component or not since the richfaces component is already ajaxed?

So here is what I am trying to do. I have a dataTable generated dynamically. And I want to add support for an onRowClick event. I have tried using an actionListener and the action event. I have no problem populating the data table, I just can't get any onRowClick actions to fire. Here is some example code

HtmlPanelGrid grid = new HtmlPanelGrid();
 grid.setStyle("width:100%;");
 grid.setColumns(1);

 HtmlDatascroller myScroll = new HtmlDatascroller();
 myScroll.setId("dynamicdatascroller");
 myScroll.setStyle("width:100%;");
 myScroll.setTableStyle("width:100%;");
 myScroll.setAlign("center");
 myScroll.setFor("dynamicsearchtable");
 myScroll.setMaxPages(20);
 grid.getChildren().add(myScroll);

 HtmlSpacer mySpacer = new HtmlSpacer();
 mySpacer.setHeight("10");
 grid.getChildren().add(mySpacer);

 // Create datatable.
 HtmlDataTable dynamicDataTable = new HtmlDataTable();
 dynamicDataTable.setId("dynamicsearchtable");
 dynamicDataTable.setOnRowMouseOver("this.style.backgroundColor='#F1F1F1'");
 dynamicDataTable.setOnRowMouseOut("this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'");
 dynamicDataTable.setRows(8);
 dynamicDataTable.setStyle("width:100%;");
 dynamicDataTable.setValueExpression("value", createValueExpression("#{SearchBean.dynamicList}", List.class));
 dynamicDataTable.setVar("dynamicItem");

 HtmlAjaxSupport support = new HtmlAjaxSupport();
 support.setAjaxSingle(true);
 support.setEvent("onRowClick");
 support.setId("ajaxrowclick");

//Try and use an action event
 support.setActionExpression(createActionExpression("#{SearchBean.rowClickAction}", String.class));

// This is where i tried and use an actionlistener
// RowClickEvent evt = new RowClickEvent();
// support.addActionListener(evt);
 dynamicDataTable.getChildren().add(support);

 grid.getChildren().add(dynamicDataTable);






private MethodExpression createActionExpression(String actionExpression, Class<?> returnType) {
 FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 return facesContext.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createMethodExpression(
 facesContext.getELContext(), actionExpression, returnType, new Class[0]);
 }

you should add it as facet instead of as component.

I'll try adding the a4j:support using the facet tag. I wasn't aware it had to be done this way
