RichFaces 3.2.1: h:commandLInk not working.

[djkrite]

I have a rich:dataTable w/a rich:simpleTogglePanel that includes a h:commandLink. After upgrading to RichFaces 3.2.1 the h:commandLink stopped working. The method in the backing never gets called.

Java 1.5.13
JBoss 4.2.2
JSF 1.2
RichFaces 3.2.1

Here is some code:

<h:dataTable styleClass="blank" style="width: 300px; border-width: 2px 1px 1px 1px" value="#{ServiceList}" var="item">
<h:column styleClass="blank">
<rich:simpleTogglePanel opened="false" switchType="client" label="#{item.serviceName}">
<a4j:include viewId="/admin/viewservicedetail.xhtml" rendered="#{item.render}" />
</rich:simpleTogglePanel>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>

<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
 xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
 xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
 xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">
<table class="service">
<tr>
 <td class="noBold"><nobr>Active:</nobr></td>
 <td class="noBold"><nobr>#{item.active}</nobr></td>
 <td style="width: 100%; text-align: right"><h:commandLink value="Edit" action="#{BackingBean.editService}"><f:param name="serviceKey" value="#{item.serviceKey}" /></h:commandLink></td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td class="noBold"><nobr>Type:</nobr></td>
 <td class="noBold"><nobr>#{item.type}</nobr></td>
 <td style="width: 100%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td class="noBold"><nobr>Network:</nobr></td>
 <td class="noBold"><nobr>#{item.network}</nobr></td>
 <td style="width: 100%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td class="noBold"><nobr>Number:</nobr></td>
 <td class="noBold"><nobr>#{item.number}</nobr></td>
 <td style="width: 100%"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</ui:composition>

Any help would be greatly appricieated.

Looks like I was able to hack around this using a4j:jsFunction and a4j:commandLink.

I have a problem that sounds like this...how did you do the hack???

Above the main h:form that contained the rich:dataTable, rich:simpleTogglePanel, and h:commandLink I put an a4j:form with a a4j:jsFuction that looks like this:

<a4j:form>
<a4j:jsFunction name="editService" action="#{BackingBean.editService}">
 <a4j:actionparam name="param1" assignTo="#{BackingBean.serviceKey}" />
</a4j:jsFunction>
</a4j:form>

Instead of the h:commandLink I use an a4j:commandLink that looks like this:

<a4j:commandLink onclick="editService('#{item.serviceKey}')" value="Edit">

Hope this helps.

Hi djkrite,

Thanks for your quick response...I will try it out and let you know if it works..

I do not see the evidence in the code snippet above (not enough info), but h:commandLink should not work after re-rerendering due the architectural specific of it. That is why a4j:htmlCommandLink (together with a4j:form) is added to the library.

[djkrite]

I see. I was able to get it working correctly with just a4j:commandLink w/ajaxSingle="true" inside an h:form tag.

Thank you,

TK
