rich:modalPanel Problem

[larry3k]

Link in rich:modalPanel doesn't work. I call a rich:modalPanel, where I rerender a combobox list and when I try to submit my form it doesn't work.

I have the following code:

<rich:modalPanel width="290" height="200" id="presentContact" >
... // text
<h:form>

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{handler.toPresentFriendSI}">
<f:selectItems value="#{handler.toPresentFriendsSI}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>


<a4j:commandLink value="present" action="#{handler.presentFriend}"/>

<a4j:commandLink value="cancel" onclick="#{rich:component('presentContact')}.hide()"/>
</h:form>
</rich:modalPanel>

The panel is called here:

<a4j:commandLink actionListener="#{handler.getFriendsToPresent}" reRender="presentContactCombo" value="Present"
oncomplete="#{rich:component('presentContact')}.show()">
<f:param value="#{handler.contactId}" name="ddd" id="presContact"/>
</a4j:commandLink>

Here is my function from the handler:

public void getFriendsToPresent(ActionEvent event){
UIParameter component = (UIParameter) event.getComponent().findComponent("presContact");
contactId = Integer.parseInt(component.getValue().toString());

for (SNUser user : toPresentFriends) {
if(user.getId() != friend.getId()){
toPresentFriendsSI.add(new SelectItem(user.getId() + "", user.getForename() + " " + user.getSurname()));
}
}
}

I have a list of contacts and to each contact i can present another contact.
The list will be generated according to the user to whom I want to present another friend,
so for each user I have a different list and since my I have only one component I rerender each time the list.
The list is generated as it should be, and everything looks fine but when I try to submit the function from the handler isn't called. When I don't rerender the combo my form works with no pb.


Any ideas how I could work around this?


Thanks

Hello,

Can you please add rich:messages and see if there are any?

Hi,

I put these lines of code after <h:form> in the rich:modalPanel component:

<rich:messages passedLabel="Data is allowed to be stored." layout="list">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Entered Data Status:"></h:outputText>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="passedMarker">
<h:outputText value="passed" />
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="errorMarker">
<h:outputText value="error" />
</f:facet>
</rich:messages>

here are the results:

errorpresentForm:j_id74: Validation Error: Value is not valid

so there is nothing about modal.. your select component just throws validation error. B.t.w. why you map your selectone items and value to the same list property?

[larry3k]

there are different names. The list has an "s" toPresentFriendsSI and the value is toPresentFriendsSI without s. I have tried using my select component without rerender and it works just fine so I can't figure out where the problem is.

sorry ... I spelled the value of the component wrong toPresentFriendSI
