Problems with a4j:commandLink, paging forwarding and IE7

[gus.ehr]

Hi there.

I'm experiencing some problems when I use ajax forms on IE7.
My page basically use an a4j:commandLink with some action attribute. This action is described on my faces-config.xml to FORWARD to another page.
It works normally on Firefox and IE6, but doesn't works just on IE7.

The problem don't occurs when changing my navigation rule to REDIRECT to another page. But I couldn't use request scope to my beans (I'm using a4j:KeepAlive).

Any Ideas?

Environment:
Mojarra 1.2_07 (RI) or MyFaces 1.1.6
RichFaces 3.2.1 GA or 3.1.6 GA
Tomcat 6.0.14 or 5.5.26

Hi guys,

I have the same issue too.

My configuration:

FACELETS 1.1.14
JSF RI 1.2.04
RICHFACES 3.2.1

I put the a4j:log in the page to see what's in going on:

In the FIREFOX (RC 3) works fine but not in IE 7.

The a4j:log output for this a4j:commandLink:

 <h:form>
 <rich:toolBar height="29">
 <a4j:commandLink status="status"
 immediate="true"
 action="#{pacienteController.createSetup}"
 styleClass="link">
 <h:graphicImage id="giVoltar" value="/images/document-new.png"/>
 <h:outputText value=" #{bundle.botaoNovoPaciente}" />
 </a4j:commandLink>
 </rich:toolBar>
 </h:form>

IN IE7:

Have Event [object Object] with properties: target: undefined, srcElement: http://localhost:8080/InfraREGWEBNG/protected/pacientes/pacientes.jsf#, type: click

error[10:51:34,828]: Error to clear node content by innerHTML

IN FIREFOX 3:

Have Event [object Object] with properties: target: http://localhost:8080/InfraREGWEBNG/protected/pacientes/pacientes.jsf#, srcElement: undefined, type: click

The TARGET and the SOURCE-ELEMENT differs.

In the previous versions of RICHFACES, the A4J:COMMANDLINK and the REDIRECT was working fine.

Thanks in advance

Hi aaroeiraa,

Thanks for the feedback...
you noted:
"The a4j:log output for this a4j:commandLink"

I did not know that function. Where do you put that in the page? Very cool testing output...thanks

Just a tip:
a4j:htmlCommandLink works correctly on IE6, IE7 and FF.
But there's no ajax request processed.

Hi guys,

nohacks:

In the RICHFACESLIVE DEMO exists, in the section ajax misc... LOG.

gus.ehr:

They don't work for me. I use the a4j:commandLink with backingbean e and REDIRECT.

In the FF works not in IE7.

Please, help gus.!

Thanks

[nohacks]

Hey aaroeiraa,

Me too...This is the code I have that does not work in IE7 but works in FireFox.

<rich:panel>

<rich:dataGrid id="membersZip" value="#{membersInZipcode.arrayListOfSearch4Member}"
var="membersZip" columns="5" elements="10" >

<rich:panel styleClass="phil" id="memberGridWelcome" style="padding: 1px 3px 2px 3px; " >
<rich:effect event="onclick" type="Highlight" params="duration:1.0" />
<rich:effect event="onclick" for="memberGridWelcome" type="Appear" params="delay:0.1,duration:0.9" />

<f:facet name="header" >
<h:outputText value="#{welcomeMembersZip.userName}" ></h:outputText>
</f:facet>
<h:panelGrid columns="1">


<a4j:commandLink styleClass="phil" action="go_memberViewed" actionListener="#{memberViewForm.getMemberInfoAttrib}" immediate="true">
<a4j:actionparam id="memberId_str" name="memberId_str" value="#{membersZip.memberId_str}"
assignTo="#{welcomeMembersZip.memberId_str}"></a4j:actionparam>

</a4j:commandLink>
</h:panelGrid>
</rich:panel>

</rich:dataGrid>

</rich:panel>




=====================================
faces-config
===========

<navigation-rule>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>go_memberViewed</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/welcomeMemberProfileView.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

=================

I put a

<redirect/>

in the faces-config and then it works but does not load the bean with current values.

The a4j:htmlCommandLink doesn't make ajax request (and doesn't apply the ajax response to the page :) ), so I think that a4j:actionparam won't work correctly.

If you want to send property values to managed beans, you can use the f:setPropertyActionListener (only JSF 1.2) or the tomahawk t:updateActionListener.

That worked to me on IE6, IE7 and FF, but the a4j:commandLink and a4j:commandButton still not working on page FORWARD.

 <a4j:form id="frmUserCrud" status="status">
 <rich:dataTable value="#{userCrudBean.users}" var="user">
 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="Name" />
 </f:facet>
 <a4j:htmlCommandLink action="edit">
 <h:outputText id="name" value="#{user.name}" />
 <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{user}" target="#{userBean.user}" />
 </a4j:htmlCommandLink>
 </rich:column>
 </rich:dataTable>
 </a4j:form>

Hi again guys,

gus.her:

You right man.


nohacks:

my code snipt is simplier than yours. I want a simple REDIRECT based in the OUTCOME of the backingbean.


This is a BUG in a4j:commandLink ?

How to report this bug?

The workaround for this bug is change a4j:commandLink for h:commandLink, but we lose STATUS and another fancy AJAX things.

[nohacks]

Hi aaroeiraa,

You said...

This is a BUG in a4j:commandLink ?

I get this error with h:commandLink or a4j:commandLink in IE7.

My code just uses ..action to redirect actionListener to call method.

Either way this is something going on here...might be a bug..dont know yet..I am still testing.

Thanks

Phil

@nohacks

You can use the action attribute to call some Java method:

 <a4j:form id="frmUserCrud" status="status">
 <rich:dataTable value="#{userCrudBean.users}" var="user">
 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="Name" />
 </f:facet>
 <a4j:htmlCommandLink action="#{userBean.editAction}">
 <h:outputText id="name" value="#{user.name}" />
 <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{user}" target="#{userBean.user}" />
 </a4j:htmlCommandLink>
 </rich:column>
 </rich:dataTable>
 </a4j:form>

And in UserBean Java class you must have this method:

public String editAction() {
 return "edit";
}

See that the return String on editAction() must be declared on a navigation rule to redirect (or forward) to another page.

Hi Gus,

Thanks for your reply.

I was wonders why my code works on FireFox and not on IE 7.

2. I am trying your approach and it does work. I was using the

public String getMemberInfoAttrib(ActionEvent event) {

and

<a4j:commandLink styleClass="phil" action="go_memberViewed" actionListener="#{memberViewForm.getMemberInfoAttrib}" immediate="true">
<a4j:actionparam id="memberId_str" name="memberId_str" value="#{membersZip.memberId_str}"
assignTo="#{welcomeMembersZip.memberId_str}"></a4j:actionparam>

I don't think the action lets me do this approach. How would I pass the,ActionEvent event, parms back with the actionparam. This was a good approach for us becuase it allowed us to setup a generic method and get the id from a4j:actionparam and cast a value from the value and assignTo.

Any chance in them fixing this issue?

One more good point about this is...

The action pointed to a redirect in the jsp.

This made it easy to setup generic redirects and only change them on one place if updates are needed. That would be the faces-config. Instead of running thru the methods to find the return. We have lots of command buttons that return to the same page and it is nice to have just one place to manage that function.

<a4j:commandLink styleClass="phil" action="go_memberViewed" actionListener="#{memberViewForm.getMemberInfoAttrib}" immediate="true">
<a4j:actionparam id="memberId_str" name="memberId_str" value="#{membersZip.memberId_str}"
assignTo="#{welcomeMembersZip.memberId_str}"></a4j:actionparam>

===========
faces-config
===========

<navigation-rule>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>go_memberViewed</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/welcomeMemberProfileView.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

Hi gus.ehr,

I just tried your way and it does not work for me on IE 7.

Method is called from action. I have system prints to show it. Just does not do a redirect to next jsp.

Any ideal?
