suggestionbox - nothingLabel does not work with EL

[daniel.soneira]

I can't use an EL expression on either the attribute nothingLabel or applied as a facet - static values work.

Environment: RF 3.1.5 / MyFaces 1.1.5 / Facelets 1.1.14

Working examples:

<rich:suggestionbox nothingLabel="works" .../>

<rich:suggestionbox>
 <f:facet name="nothingLabel"><h:outputText value="works too"/></f:facet>
</rich:suggestionbox>

Not working:

<rich:suggestionbox nothingLabel="${messages.does_not_work}"/>

<rich:suggestionbox>
 <f:facet name="nothingLabel"><h:outputText value="${messages.this_works_neither}"/></f:facet>
</rich:suggestionbox>

When I try some nonsens input (no suggested item available):
Instead of the text there is NOTHING shown - no error text - nothing.

I just tried it in my richfaces test project - on a stand alone page it works.

The problem could be related to the usage of a facelets custom tag (which is where I use the suggestionbox in the real project).

I'll try to reproduce this in my test project and keep you updated.

[daniel.soneira]

Well, I found the offending code (had nothing to do with Facelets):

selfRendered="true"

I could reproduce this in my test project as well with this attribute set.
Since I use the suggestion box within an iterating component (a4j:repeat) I set it accordingly (as noted in development guide).

Could you please open an JIRA issue for that (as I'm pretty sure it's a bug)?

I used your example, ant the 1st time I got problem, that you describe. But after, I clear my Authenticated Sessions - bug disappeared. Try to do also the very & if you'll get this problem again - let us know. And describe your configuration in this case(browser, server, platform, snapshots' version).
Thanks for the participation.

I don't understand how I should try to "clear authenticated sessions" - As I have the Web-Developer plugin for Firefox I used Miscellaneous -> Clear Private Data -> HTTP Authentication.

Is that what you meant? I'm not using any authentication in my sample project. Anyway it does not change the behaviour.

I also tried it in both IE 7 and Firefox 2.0.0.14 - same problem.

Environment:
RF 3.1.5 GA
MyFaces 1.1.5 (JSF 1.1)
Facelets 1.1.14
Browser: IE7 / Firefox2
Servlet-Engine: Tomcat 6.0.14

Here is the uploaded war file:
http://www.file-upload.net/en/download-879683/richfaces.war.html

=> url for the example: http://localhost:8080/richfaces/suggest.jsf

(don't mind the RF-JAR file - it is a patched version of 3.1.5 - since you did not incorporate RF-997 into 3.1.5, you can replace it with the standard GA version - it does not matter for this bug)

[daniel.soneira]

could you please have a look at the mentioned war file?

If it is a bug please fix it in the 3.1.x branch - It does not help me if you correct it in 3.2.x trunk.

Hello,

The problem is not in EL. nothingLabel doesn't work with self-rendered suggestion boxes
