suggestionbox - a4j:include - a4j:support

[arielfernando]

Hi all,

I'm having some problems to use a suggestionbox component with a4j:support, when I put it into a4j:include file.

I have like something:

<h:inputText id="idInputText"
 value="#{backingBean.person.name}"/>

<rich:suggestionbox for="idNumeroDespacho" tokens=",["
 suggestionAction="#{element.autocomplete}"
 var="result"
 fetchValue="#{result.name}"
 first="0"
 rowNumber="10"
 minChars="1"
 border="1"
 width="170"
 height="150"
 nothingLabel="Not Found"
 selfRendered="true">
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{result.name}" />
 </h:column>
 <a4j:support event="onselect" reRender="idForm">
 <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{result}"
 target="#{backingBean.person}" />
 </a4j:support>
</rich:suggestionbox>

Now, if I put above code into main file (that is, not using a4j:include), all works fine. But if I put the same code into a file and include it with <a4j:include viewId...>, I get an error when "onselect" happend.

I debug this situation and found that happend because when "onselect event" ocurrs, suggestionAction is call again. Yes... suggestionAction is called when I select an option from suggestionbox. But it's only ocurrs if use suggestionbox into incude file.

To solve it, I must set selfRendered="false" at suggestionbox component. When I set this attribute to false, suggestionAction is not called when onselect event happend. This is a normal behavior.

Is this a issue?. Is there any restriction to use suggestionbox with a4j:support into a4j:include file?.

What exactly do the selfRendered="true" into suggestionbox?. I allways set it to true because a read that I get a better performance... but I don't know why.

Thanks!!!.
