How to submit a page from SugesstionBox?

[thanique]

Hi,

I have converted an JSF component to the Richface's SuggestionBox implementation. I have made the following changes and I am able to get the list of values into it.

<f:subview  id="spOrganizationChoices">

<h:selectOneMenu  id="cbOrganization"  validator="#{MbnOrganizationChoices.validateOrganization}"

     binding="#{MbnOrganizationChoices.cmbOrganization}"

      value="#{MbnOrganizationChoices.selectedOrgID}"

     onchange="submit()"

      styleClass="filtersValueFont">

         <f:selectItems  value="#{MbnOrganizationChoices.orgList}"/>

     </h:selectOneMenu>

</f:subview>

Richface Suggestion Box’s  Code:

             <rich:suggestionbox id="suggestionBoxId" for="text"

                                           rules="#{SuggestionBox.rules}"                                   

                                           suggestionAction="#{SuggestionBox.autocomplete}" var="result"

                                          onselect="submit()"

                                           fetchValue="#{result.text}"

                                           first="#{SuggestionBox.intFirst}"

                                           minChars="#{SuggestionBox.minchars}"

                                           shadowOpacity="#{SuggestionBox.shadowOpacity}"

                                           border="#{SuggestionBox.border}"

                                           width="#{SuggestionBox.width}"

                                           height="#{SuggestionBox.height}"

                                           shadowDepth="#{SuggestionBox.shadowDepth}"

                                           cellpadding="#{SuggestionBox.cellpadding}"

                                           usingSuggestObjects="#{SuggestionBox.usingSuggestObjects}">

                   <h:column>

                         <h:outputText value="#{result.text}"/>

                   </h:column>

              <a4j:support ajaxSingle="true" event="onchange"

                         action="#{MyBackBean.refreshData}" reRender="">

                   <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{result.text}"

                               target="#{MyBackBean.userID}" />

                   <a4j:ajaxListener type="org.ajax4jsf.ajax.ForceRender" />

              </a4j:support>

             </rich:suggestionbox>

But when I select a value from the displayed list, I need to submit the page.

The exisiting JSF implementation has this, but converting into Richfaces doesn't work. Your help on this is highly appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. moving to RichFaces space from RichFaces development.

Dear Shaikovsky,

I am able to get the additional value in my Backing Bean. My problem is, when I call the submit() function from the Richfaces component it is not submitting the page..

any js errors?

[thanique]

There are no Javascript errors, but the page is not getting submitted.

To verify whether the onselect Tag triggers the JS function, I have written one Javascript function and verified whether it calls. And inside that function I have called the submit() method. This was also not working.

Hi,

I am able to submit the page by document.myform.submit(). But when I call the Javascript function which will execute this line and submit the page, the onselect event on the Backing Bean is not getting called. Can you tell me how to call the Backing Bean first and then call the Javascript method?

Hi,

By submit you are doing full page refresh, so it's JS handlers are destroyed are didn't succeed to call. Either use AJAX or call submit from onselect (but that won't help to change the order of events).
