scrollerListener Not Firing With rich:datascroller

[neilac333]

I am building a Seam-RichFaces app that utilizes rich:datascroller. I want to bind a listener that fires when the user hits one of the scroll buttons.

Here is my listener method (as found in a Seam component called searchAction):

public void doScroll(DataScrollerEvent event) {
 logger.debug("searchAction.doScroll");
}

Here is the markup in my facelet:

<rich:datascroller id="searchResultsScroller"
 for="searchResults"
 scrollerListener="#{searchAction.doScroll}"
 boundaryControls="show"
 fastControls="show"
 stepControls="hide"
 renderIfSinglePage="false"/>

Unfortunately, the listener method called searchAction.doScroll does not fire as evidenced by the fact I see no log message.

Can anyone help me figure out why my listener won't fire? I appreciate any insight.

Please let me know if I can provide further information.

Thanks.

I remain stumped on this issue, but what is funny is that I can assign an action to my rich:datascroller. In other words, if I add this attribute:

action="#{searchAction.doScroll}"

...then the action does indeed fire. Unfortunately, this is not sufficient for me since I need access to the DataScrollerEvent object, and action methods cannot take parameters.

Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Thanks.

Parameter component for action or actionListener:

<a4j:actionparam name="unusedParameterToHelpDocumentYourCode" assignTo="#{bean.propertyToSet}" value="#{elExpresionOfValueToSet}"/>

Note: There is currently a bug (I forget the exact details) where either action or actionListener will happen before the actionparams are called. Using the other is the workaround.

Also, if this is used in a jsFunction called with parameters, you do not need the value attribute.
