valueChangeListener in modalPanel

[schlumsch]

Hello everyone,

im trying to launch an valuechangelistener from an input-text-field in my modalpanel, but this doesnt work. When I place the inputText on my "normal" page, everything works fine, debugger also stops within the v-c-listener. Does someone have a solution for this?
Thanx & lg

<h:inputText id="getFullEditAddress" required="true" value="#{tour2plan.displayTour[tour2plan.selectedTourStop].fullAddress}"
 immediate="true" size="50" styleClass="portlet-form-input-field"
 requiredMessage="Ein Wert ist erforderlich!" validatorMessage="Bitte kontrollieren Sie die Angaben!"
 valueChangeListener="#{tour2plan.changeEditSingleStopStartAddress}" >
<a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="newPlanningRequest" />

 public void changeEditSingleStopStartAddress(ValueChangeEvent event) {
 String newEditSingleStopStartAddress = (String) event.getNewValue();
 ArrayList<Suggestion> resultList = getEditSingleStopStartAddressAlternatives(newEditSingleStopStartAddress);
 if (resultList.size() > 1) {
 this.showEditRadios = true;

 } else {
 this.showEditRadios = false;
 }
 }

Hello,

Please assure:

1. Modal panel has its own internal form
2. Forms are not nested

Hi,

i dont know if i understand u right, u mean a form inside the panel? like

<f:view>
<h:form>
...
<rich:modalPanel...>
<f:form>
...
</f:form>
</rich:modalPanel>
...
</h:form>
</f:view>

Hi,
the first rule means:

<rich:modalPanel...>
<f:form>
...
</f:form>
</rich:modalPanel>

and the second one means generally do NEVER something like:

<h:form>
...
<h:form>
...
</h:form>
...
</h:form>

Summarizing that you get the following rule for your case:

"To work properly the <rich:modalPanel> should always be placed outside the original <h:form> and must include its own <h:form> for such cases like performing submissions from within the <rich:modalPanel>. " (Dev Guide, 6.69.5)

Sorry, it should be always h:form of course.

so my modalPanal has to be placed inside a form, how coud i respect second rule? the modalPanel will be around the inner formtag.

No.

To take your example, do it this way:

<f:view>
<h:form>
...
</h:form>

<rich:modalPanel...>
<h:form>
...
</h:form>
</rich:modalPanel>
</f:view>

In my opinion, the dev guide says nothing else. I hope it is, finally, clear enough now.
