How to reRender + execute an action after onuploadcomplete()

[jobb]

What I need is to perform after completed fileUpload is :
1. run an action
2. reRender inputText om the page

<script type="text/javascript">
 function testUploadEnd(){
 js_PDUploadEnd();
 }
</script>

<a4j:jsFunction name="js_PDUploadEnd" action="#{fileUploadMBean.getUploadEnd}" reRender="urlExampleFilInputText" oncomplete="alert('js_PDUploadEnd completed')">
</a4j:jsFunction>

<h:panelGrid >
 <h:inputText id="urlExampleFilInputText" value="#{productRestMBean.urlExampleFil}">
</h:panelGrid>

<h:panelGrid id="fileUploadGrid" >
 <rich:fileUpload id="fileUpload" fileUploadListener="#{fileUploadMBean.fileUploaded}"
 onuploadcomplete="testUploadEnd();">
 </rich:fileUpload>
</h:panelGrid>

The code here is simple, showing that testUploadEnd() is triggered onuploadcomplete().

This function call javascript function js_PDUploadEnd()
which perform action="#{fileUploadMBean.getUploadEnd}" and after that, componend with id="urlExampleFilInputText" should be reRendered.

Function js_PDUploadEnd() is executed, but action="#{fileUploadMBean.getUploadEnd}" is NOT executed and there is NO reRendering of id="urlExampleFilInputText" ???
oncomplete() for js_PDUploadEnd() shows alert.

Can someone explain me why action and reRendering does'nt execute and how to get this to work?

place rich:messages somewhere on the page. As you could see the same scenario (with just support instead of jsFunction) shows just as you need at our live demo

rich:messages is placed in the same page, rendering like this :

<dl id="j_id_jsp_495879280_5" class="rich-messages" style="display: none; null"><dt><span class="rich-messages-label"></span></dt></dl>

Checked live demo with a4j:support (Ajax support) , but can't find any similarity.

It's me again.

I've tested more around rich:fileUpload and a4j:jsFunction

1. if you include id to a4j:jsFunction like this
<a4j:jsFunction id="reRenderUpload" name="js_UploadEnd" .../>

a4j:jsFunction begin to execute action and reRender id's.
Without id, no action or reRendering.

2. In example under fileNameUploaded on IE returns full path file (C:\Documents and Settings\bla\Desktop\Film chanels.txt)
but on Mozilla returns only file name (Film chanels.txt) when uploading a file C:\Documents and Settings\bla\Desktop\Film chanels.txt

public void fileUploaded(org.richfaces.event.UploadEvent event) {
 org.richfaces.model.UploadItem item=event.getUploadItem();
 String fileNameUploaded = item.getFileName();
}

Hi,

1. I've tested this part of code on 3.2.2.GA. Action for jsFunction fires always, also without ID specified. Which RF version do you use?

2. We know about this difference in behavior. It depends on browser security.
IE allows getting full file name through JS and sends it to server on upload. But FF sends only short file name. Please keep it in mind and make correction on server side.

I am using RF version 3.2.2.SR1

[ilya_shaikovsky]

1) please try to use 3.3.0 Beta1. If not helps you could rise an issue with sample war attached, or just send to me this war directly.

2) I've talking about fileUpload page on livedemo. Not support one.

Hi Ilya
1) 3.3.0 Beta1 gives the same result as 3.2.2.SR1
2) I can send to you min war file with some description. What is your mail address ?
