render modalPanel after the setters have been called on the

[titou09]

We would like to display a modal panel AFTER the setters are called on the backing bean, basically:

- the users display the page and enters some text in 2 inputText fields
- then he clicks on the "afficher" button that ideally should :
- perform a post to the server and trigger the setters on the BB to set the value freshly entered, in the BB
- when the call to the server comes back, display the modalPanel that will fetch the data from the BB (Call the getters)

The code below does not work, the modal panel does not popup. :
- is it possible to do that?
-what's wrong with the following code?

...
<h:inputText id="ajoutTitre" value="#{sectionDonnees.titreSection}" size="50" maxlength="50" />
...
<h:inputText id="ajoutTextet" value="#{sectionDonnees.textetSection}" size="50" maxlength="50" />
...

<rich:modalPanel id="panel" width="350" height="100">
 <f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Modal Panel"/></f:facet>
 <table class="detail">
 <tr><td><h:outputText id="previewTitre" value="#{sectionDonnees.previewTitre}" /></td></tr>
 <tr><td><h:outputText id="previewTexte" value="#{sectionDonnees.previewTexte}" /></td></tr>
 </table>
</rich:modalPanel>

<a4j:commandButton id="afficher" value="afficher" >
 <rich:componentControl for="panel" event="oncomplete" attachTo="afficher" operation="show" />
</a4j:commandButton>

add reRender="detail" to a4j:command - this should refresh modals content in order to new data.

in generel your componentControl should works.. If there is some JS errors after request?

[titou09]

thx for your answer but there is no component named "detail" in my code
I tried with reRender="panel" but this does not work either
and no, there is no js error
maybe this is the 'event="oncomplete"' that doesnt fire?

[titou09]

after further investigation, the "reRender" is correctly executed, ie the getters are called
what is not working is that the panel does not pop up.
if I change

<a4j:commandButton id="afficher" value="afficher" >
 <rich:componentControl for="afficher" event="oncomplete" attachTo="panel" operation="show" />
</a4j:commandButton>

by

<a4j:commandButton id="afficher" value="afficher" oncomplete="Richfaces.showModalPanel('panel') />
it works!

Try

<a4j:commandButton id="afficher" value="afficher" >
<rich:componentControl for="panel" event="oncomplete" operation="show" />
</a4j:commandButton>

That works in my app.
You may theoretically use as well attachTo="afficher" and define compontControl outside of the commandButton. But this somehow does not work for the oncomplete event (for onclick it does).

hy titou09!

Try following:

give the table in your modalPanel an id, define this id in the reRender attribute of your commandButton and define the showModalPanel-js-call in the oncomplete-attribute of your commandButton.

This is working in all of my sites!

hope, this helps!

Thanks everybody for your help. To summarize this problem:
This does not work:

<a4j:commandButton id="afficher" value="afficher" reRender="panel">
 <rich:componentControl for="panel" event="oncomplete" operation="show" attachTo="afficher"/>
</a4j:commandButton>

This works (removed the "attachTo" attribute):

<a4j:commandButton id="afficher" value="afficher" reRender="panel">
 <rich:componentControl for="panel" event="oncomplete" operation="show"/>
</a4j:commandButton>

This works also (removed tag "componentControl", added "oncomplete" attribute):

<a4j:commandButton id="afficher" value="afficher" reRender="panel" oncomplete="Richfaces.showModalPanel('panel')"/>
