Preventing full refresh of data table

[t3chi3]

The behavior as of now is that if I go towards the bottom of the page and update a cell I will get a full refresh and be brought to the top of the page again no matter what I try to do in code to prevent it.  I am using Spring Webflow so I can't discount that as the culprit but here is my code if anyone has some ideas.

<ui:define name="content" switchType="ajax">

<rich:tabPanel>

<rich:tab rendered="#{buildingResourcesModel.seriesCount>=1}" label="#{buildingResourcesModel.seriesHeadings[0]}" switchType="ajax">

<a4j:support event="onClick" action="active-tab">

<a4j:actionparam name="active_tab" value="1" />

</a4j:support>

<f:view>

<h:form id="tab1">

<ui:fragment id="fragment">

    <rich:dataTable rows="24"

         value="#{buildingResourcesModel.seriesSets[0]}" var="time" rowKeyVar="row"

         rowClasses="row1, row2"

         columnClasses="column1"

         cellpadding="0">

<rich:column>

<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Period Ending" /></f:facet>

<h:outputText value="#{time[0].seriesDisplay}" />

</rich:column>

<rich:columns value="#{buildingResourcesModel.columnSets[0]}" var="column" index="ind">

<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="#{column.header}" /></f:facet>

<a4j:outputPanel id="C_#{ind}">

<h:inputText rendered="#{time[ind].forecastType==2}" styleClass="editable-cell-forecast" value="#{time[ind].availability}">

<a4j:support event="onchange" action="save" reRender="tab1:j_id38:#{row}:C_#{ind}" ajaxSingle="true">

<a4j:actionparam name="guid" value="#{time[ind].guid}" />

<a4j:actionparam name="row" value="#{row}" />

<a4j:actionparam name="col" value="#{ind}" />

</a4j:support>

</h:inputText>

<h:inputText rendered="#{time[ind].forecastType!=2}" styleClass="editable-cell" value="#{time[ind].availability}">

<a4j:support event="onchange" action="save" reRender="tab1:j_id38:#{row}:C_#{ind}" ajaxSingle="true">

<a4j:actionparam name="guid" value="#{time[ind].guid}" />

<a4j:actionparam name="row" value="#{row}" />

<a4j:actionparam name="col" value="#{ind}" />

</a4j:support>

</h:inputText>

</a4j:outputPanel>

</rich:columns>

</rich:dataTable>

</ui:fragment>

</h:form>

</f:view>

</rich:tab>

</rich:tabPanel>

</ui:define>

It seems you should revise and clean up the code. Seems some unnesessary "tries" there:

<ui:define name="content" switchType="ajax">

switch type has no sence.

<rich:tab rendered="#{buildingResourcesModel.seriesCount>=1}" label="#{buildingResourcesModel.seriesHeadings[0]}" switchType="ajax">

<a4j:support event="onClick" action="active-tab">

<a4j:actionparam name="active_tab" value="1" />

can't get why you need that support at all. and cocurrecy problems will appear there.

And the main

<a4j:support event="onchange" action="save" reRender="tab1:j_id38:#{row}:C_#{ind}" ajaxSingle="true">

action="save" - defined means that you want to navigate with save outcome? If you want just reRender - remove it.

Some more observations: ui:fragment seems to do nothing & f:view tag is used inside tab.

All of the other code you're seeing is experimental and I've tried everything...everything but removing that action attribute, which I thought I originally had to add or my web flow actions weren't getting invoked at all.  I'll try playing with that and see what happens and I'll post my results.  Thanks.
