reRender the latest record in datatable

[chun]

Hi all,

Sorry, I'm a new guy in Richfaces and SEAM. I'm writing a simple search function in an application. However, I couldn't reRender the latest record which has just been updated by other user (event I trigger the query again). Here is my coding:

In EJB:

@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
@Name("adminAuthRecord")

public class AdminAuthRecord implements AdminAuthRecordLocal {
@DataModel
private List<Record> adminRecordList;

...

public void doFilter() {
  this.adminRecordList=null;
  adminRecordList=this.getAdminRecordList();
}

...

public List<Record> getAdminRecordList() {
   ...

   Query query = em.createQuery(
   "SELECT r FROM Record r WHERE r.studentProfile.loginId IS NOT NULL " + criteria);
   adminRecordList = query.getResultList();

   for(int i=0; i<adminRecordList.size; i++) {

     // if i print them out, the records are new, but not reflected on the reRender

   }
   return adminRecordList;
}

...

}

In xhtml:

<a:outputPanel id="recordListPanel">

   <a:commandButton value="" image="/style/img/btn_filter_trans.gif"
    action="#{adminAuthRecord.doFilter}" reRender="recordListPanel"/>

<rich:dataTable id="list" value="#{adminRecordList}" var="adminRecord" rendered="#{adminRecordList.rowCount>0}"
  rows="10" reRender="ds" >
  <rich:column id="column1" width="700">
   <f:facet id="AddressFacet" name="header">Header</f:facet>
   <h:panelGrid columns="1">

       <h:outputText value="#{adminRecord.description}"/>
   </h:panelGrid>
  </rich:column>
        <f:facet name="footer">
        <rich:datascroller id="ds"
          oncomplete="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('ProgressModalPanel')"
     onpagechange="Richfaces.showModalPanel('ProgressModalPanel',{param1:'Please wait...'})"/>
        </f:facet>
</rich:dataTable>
....
</a:outputPanel>

P.S. The record can be refreshed if I change the search criteria and then back to search the older criteria again

Could any expert help me?

Hi Stephen,

Page code looks ok, please check if getAdminRecordList() method returns updated data when table is re-rendered.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your confirmation and reply.

I tried to print the records in the console, it shows the records are latest, but seems it couldn't reflect on the screen

    public void doFilter() {
        this.adminRecordList=null;
        adminRecordList=this.getAdminRecordList();
        for(int i=0; i<adminRecordList.size(); i++) {
            System.out.println("Record" + i+ ": " + adminRecordList.get(i)); // print it inside console
        }
    }

Please add a4j:log component to the page, press the button calling "doFilter()" action and post logger ourtput here.

Hi Nick,

I got a finding by try-and-error. If I changed the scope from SESSION to CONVERSATION, it works...

I'm quite confused, coz an example in SEAM reference said:

The @DataModel annotation exposes an attibute of type java.util.List to the JSF page
as an instance of javax.faces.model.DataModel. This allows us to use the list in a JSF
<h:dataTable> with clickable links for each row. In this case, the DataModel is made
available in a session context variable named messageList.

Why only CONVERSATION work? Actaully, I don't think my application needs to carry conversational state, so I tried to escape from it.\

Do I have some misunderstandings?

Anyway, I've still printouted the logs "a4j:log" for your reference:

Originally, it shows some error messages which are related to ModalPanels

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your kindly help... finally, i solved my stupid question. I believe ajax throws exception while I interrupt the value of DataModel, after erase the "set null"(as below), it works expectedly. However, can you tell me it works in CONVERSATION scope in the same case?

public void doFilter() {
  this.adminRecordList=null;
  adminRecordList=this.getAdminRecordList();
}
