    Command Buttons in <rich:dataTable>

    deibys

      Hello guys ,

      I am posting again, to provide more information.... I have the following code:

      <rich:dataTable id="prospectoTable" value="#{SearchProspecto.prospectoItems}"
       var="prospecto" rowKeyVar="index"
       onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#FFE4E1'"
       onRowMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#{a4jSkin.tableBackgroundColor}'" >
       <h:column>
       <f:facet name="header">
       <h:outputText value="#" />
       </f:facet>
       <h:outputText value="#{index+1}" />
       </h:column>
       <h:column>
       <f:facet name="header">
       <h:outputText value="Identificacion" />
       </f:facet>
       <h:outputText value="#{prospecto.identificacion}" />
       </h:column>
       <h:column>
       <f:facet name="header">
       <h:outputText value="Nombre" />
       </f:facet>
       <h:outputText value="#{prospecto.fullName}" />
       </h:column>
       <h:column>
       <h:form>
       <a4j:commandButton immediate="true" value="Editar" action="#{SearchProspecto.editar}" >
       <a4j:actionparam name="prospectoIdSelected" assignTo="#{SearchProspecto.prospectoIdSelected}" value="#{prospecto.id}" />
       </a4j:commandButton>
       </h:form>
       </h:column>
       <%--
       <rich:componentControl event="onRowDblClick" for="propectoDetails" operation="show">
       <f:param value="#{prospecto.id}" name="prospectoId" />
       </rich:componentControl>
       --%>
      </rich:dataTable>


      I have a command button for every row in the table.... When clicked it should navigate to another page through an ajax request.
      The code in the backing bean is:
      public String editar() throws NamingException, SQLException {
       System.out.println("prospecto_id="+prospectoIdSelected);
       Prospecto prospecto = Prospecto.getProspectoById(prospectoIdSelected);
       FacesUtil.setRequestMapValue("prospecto", prospecto);
       if (prospecto.getTipoCliente() == 1) {
       System.out.println("editar_empresarial");
       return "editar_empresarial";
       } else {
       System.out.println("editar_individual");
       return "editar_individual";
       }
       }
      


      The issue I have ...it is that action bean method gets executed by navigation rules are not applied.......... I have in faces-config.xml
      <navigation-rule>
       <from-view-id>/Prospectacion/searchProspecto.jsp</from-view-id>
       <navigation-case>
       <from-outcome>editar_empresarial</from-outcome>
       <to-view-id>/Prospectacion/editProspecto_e.jsp</to-view-id>
       </navigation-case>
       <navigation-case>
       <from-outcome>editar_individual</from-outcome>
       <to-view-id>/Prospectacion/editProspecto_i.jsp</to-view-id>
       </navigation-case>
       </navigation-rule>
      
      


      Please provide me with some information:

      I have already done some ajax navigations just exactly like the example in the demo:http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/include.jsf?c=include

      But is there any issue if commandButton is placed inside dataTables ?



      I have tried to put the form outside the <rich:datatable> and it does not work either .....

          please add

          <redirect/>
          to your navigation cases definitions if you use a4j controls for navigation.

            Thanks for the answer....
            I dont think might work for me , because the content I want to update is inside a "" , in the code bellow(orange coloured), navigation should only occur in the "main "

            I have done this and works...exactly in the same way as in the demo http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/include.jsf?c=include
            , ...the only difference with this case...it is that command buttons is not inside a <rich:dataTable >

            Is it a bug ? What is the issue ?

              Hello,

              I have changed my code to use non-a4j components , and it does not work yet.

              <h:form>
              <rich:dataTable id="prospectoTable" value="#{SearchProspecto.prospectoItems}"
               var="prospecto" rowKeyVar="index"
               onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#FFE4E1'"

               </f:facet>
               <h:outputText value="#{index+1}" />
               </h:column>
               <h:column>
               <f:facet name="header">
               <h:outputText value="Identificacion" />
               </f:facet>
               <h:outputText value="#{prospecto.identificacion}" />
               </h:column>
               <h:column>
               <f:facet name="header">
               <h:outputText value="Id Alterna" />
               </f:facet>
               <h:outputText value="#{prospecto.idAlterna}" />
               </h:column>
               <h:column>
               <f:facet name="header">
               <h:outputText value="Nombre" />

               <h:outputText value="#{prospecto.status}" />
               </h:column>
               <h:column>
               <h:commandButton immediate="true" value="Editar" action="#{SearchProspecto.editar}" >
               <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{prospecto.id}" target="#{SearchProspecto.prospectoIdSelected}" />
               </h:commandButton>
               </h:column>
               <%--
               <rich:componentControl event="onRowDblClick" for="propectoDetails" operation="show">

               </rich:componentControl>
               --%>
              </rich:dataTable>
              </h:form>



              Again there are my navigation rules:
              <navigation-rule>
               <from-view-id>/Prospectacion/searchProspecto.jsp</from-view-id>
               <navigation-case>
               <from-outcome>editarEmpresarial</from-outcome>
               <to-view-id>/faces/Prospectacion/editProspecto_e.jsp</to-view-id>
               </navigation-case>
               <navigation-case>
               <from-outcome>editarIndividual</from-outcome>
               <to-view-id>/faces/Prospectacion/editProspecto_i.jsp</to-view-id>
               </navigation-case>
               </navigation-rule>
              


              And my backing bean method (gets invoked , but navigation does not occur)
              public String editar() throws NamingException, SQLException {
               System.out.println("prospecto_id="+prospectoIdSelected);
               Prospecto prospecto = Prospecto.getProspectoById(prospectoIdSelected);
               FacesUtil.setRequestMapValue("prospecto", prospecto);
               if (prospecto.getTipoCliente() == 1) {
               System.out.println("editar_empresarial");
               return "editarEmpresarial";
               } else {
               System.out.println("editar_individual");
               return "editarIndividual";
               }
               }
              


              in web.xml:

                  I was wondering if it has to do something with specs (software):

                  JBOSS 4.2.2GA (builtin JSF I guess 1.2)
                  is it a bug ? I am really clueless

                    No proofs for bug yet.

                    remove a4j:region from h:column. It is just does not make any sense there.
                    define the id for h:form and commandButton explicitly

                    If no luck, add phase tracker and see what phases JSF comes thought. You can take the read-to-use phase tracker at:

                      Hello,
                      I have added id's for <h:form> and <a4j:commandButton>

                      and this is what I have got from the phaseTracker, though I really dont know how to interpret it....that is the output when i click o any button of the dataTable

                        This is a result of immediate="true". If you set it to "false', it should be all 6 phases passed. Right?

                          Hello,

                          I have set immediate to false , and it seems to me the same. Any clue ? Would anybody like me to send some sample code about what is occuring ?

                            BTW, you do not have to ignore Ilya's advice about < redirect /> in the navigation rules.

                            Ie. it should be:

                            <navigation-rule>
                             <from-view-id>/Prospectacion/searchProspecto.jsp</from-view-id>
                             <navigation-case>
                             <from-outcome>editarEmpresarial</from-outcome>
                             <to-view-id>/faces/Prospectacion/editProspecto_e.jsp</to-view-id>
                             <redirect />
                             </navigation-case>
                             <navigation-case>
                             <from-outcome>editarIndividual</from-outcome>
                             <to-view-id>/faces/Prospectacion/editProspecto_i.jsp</to-view-id>
                             <redirect />
                             </navigation-case>
                             </navigation-rule>


                            What if you, for the testing purpose, put just after <h:form>:
                            <h:commandButton action="editarIndividual" />

                            Does navigation work?
