getData(...) of CalendarDataModel not called

[orribl]

Hi,

I have a similar problem as described here:
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=146208 and here
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=148232:
The getData() method of a customized CalendarDataModel isn't called when moving to a different month or year. Actually it's called only once while loading the page...

Do you have a solution for this?

Thanks

Hi,

Please post page and bean code.

Hi Nick,

sure. Here's the code of the xhtml page:

<rich:calendar
     value="#{calendarBean.date}"
     popup="false"
     showApplyButton="false"
     cellWidth="100px"
     cellHeight="100px"
     showWeeksBar="true"
     dataModel="#{calendarDataModel}"
     id="calendar_organizer"
     showFooter="false"
>
     <a4j:outputPanel
          layout="block"
          id="cell"
          style="height: 100%;"
     >
     <h:panelGrid columns="1">
     <h:outputText value="{day}" style="align:center"/>
     <h:outputText style="white-space:nowrap;" value="{data.shortDescription}" escape="false"/>
     <h:outputText value="{data.description}" escape="false"/>
     </h:outputText>
    </a4j:outputPanel>
     <a4j:support event="onchanged" reRender="calendar_todaysTasks,calendar_todaysAppointments" />
</rich:calendar>

Here's the getData()-implementation of the #{calendarDataModel} (request scope):

public CalendarDataModelItem[] getData(Date[] dateArray) {
    if (dateArray == null) {
        return null;
    }  
    items = new CalendarDataModelItem[dateArray.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < dateArray.length; i++) {
        items[i] = createDataModelItem(dateArray[i]);
    }
    return items;
}

protected CalendarDataModelItem createDataModelItem(Date date) {
     CalendarDataModelItemImpl item = new CalendarDataModelItemImpl();
     ArrayList<IAppointment> appointments =
     this.sessionFassade.getAppointments(date);
     ArrayList<ITask> tasks =
     this.sessionFassade.getTasks(date);
     Map<String, String> data = new HashMap<String, String>();
     String appointmentOutput = "";
     for ( int i = 0; i < appointments.size(); i++){
          if ( i > 0 ){
               appointmentOutput += "<br />";
          }
          appointmentOutput += "&#187; [A]" + appointments.get(i).getSubject();
     }
     for ( int i = 0; i < tasks.size(); i++){
          if ( appointments.size() > 0 ){
               appointmentOutput += "<br />";
          }
          appointmentOutput += "&#187; [T]" + tasks.get(i).getSubject();
     }
     data.put("shortDescription", appointmentOutput);
     data.put("description", "");
     Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
     c.setTime(date);
     item.setDay(c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
     item.setEnabled(true);
     item.setStyleClass("rel-hol");
     item.setData(data);
     return item;
}

Some more details regarding the environment:

Richfaces 3.3.2 SR1

Myfaces 1.2.8

Tomact 6.0.18

[ilya_shaikovsky]

you not defined mode.

default mode value is client so no requests occurs on month change.

in client mode if preload range dates not defined - data loaded only for current month.

so you have to define mode="ajax" or define preload range for client side calendar.

Great, thanks. Now it works as expected.
