How to generate context menu programatically on each show re

[petr.gola]

Hi,

I am searching the way to generate context menu programatically on each show request? I have tried to do this but without any success - for long time:). It is still generated only once - at the beginning when page is loaded. I want to regenerate this menu on each user request - on each user's right click. Is it possible to tell rich faces to "rerender" context menu when componentControl's event launch?

My binding (index.xhtml):

 <h:form>
 <rich:tree id="folderTree"
 switchType="client"
 nodeSelectListener="#{folderTreeBean.processSelection}"
 ajaxSubmitSelection="true"
 var="node">
 <rich:recursiveTreeNodesAdaptor roots="#{folderTreeBean.roots}" var="folderNode" nodes="#{folderNode.subfolders}"/>
 <rich:componentControl event="oncontextmenu" for="folderTreeMenu" operation="show">
 </rich:componentControl>
 </rich:tree>
 <rich:contextMenu id="folderTreeMenu" binding="#{folderTreeBean.contextMenu}" attached="false" submitMode="ajax">
 </rich:contextMenu>
 </h:form>

My code (FolderTreeBean.java):

 public ContextMenu getContextMenu() {
 ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();

 HtmlMenuItem menuItem = new HtmlMenuItem();
 menuItem.setAjaxSingle(true);
 menuItem.setValue("Hello at "+System.currentTimeMillis());

 contextMenu.getChildren().add(menuItem);

 return contextMenu;
 }

Can anyone help me?

I've tried

<a4j:support event="oncontextmenu" reRender="folderTreeMenu" />

... but without results. Any idea how to suggest folderTreeMenu to rerender on user's action (right click for example)?

I used reRender="folderTreeMenu but it does not re-process binding attribute. Is there any way to do this?

Maybe some binding ?

Do you mean binding attribute? This doesn't work - binding is processed only once, on page loading. Not on "reRender" request!

I've spent a lot of time by searching for solution... I divide this problem into serveral points - I can't solve all of them together.

1. listen on "oncontextmenu" event (... event="oncontextmenu")
2. call server side code to regenerate menu component model (create menu items dynamically) (... action="#{folderTreeBean.regenerateMenu}")
3. reRender menu component (...reRender="folderTreeMenu")
4. show the menu component by js function "show" with parameters (... operation="show")

I) 1+4 I can reach by use <rich:componentControl event="oncontextmenu" operation="show"> ... parameters ... </...>

... but there is no way to run action and reRender.

II) when I use <a4j:support>, I can 2+3, but listen only on native js function (no oncontextmenu, only onmousedown...). Unfortunatelly, I can't call js function for show context menu with parameters.

Hi, Petr.gola, have you found the solution? I have the same problem, the context menu can only be loaded at the beginning of pageload.
