call richfaces components in javascript

[fantaisie]

hi there,

currently I am facing a problem,

i am using google maps api to develop a page allow user to specify the directions and trips.

when I add a marker on the map, i want to call a richfaces components like a model panel to display the geocoded address.

i add the "#{rich:component('panel')}.show();" at the end of my js function but it doesn't work...

function addMarker(){

     //google maps api code

     #{rich:component('panel')}.show();

}

any help will be appreciated.

Try Richfaces.showModalPanel('panel');

does essentially the same thing...

rich:component should works, and Richfaces.show.. - deprecated API.. If not works - check browser console for JS errors.

i tried to use a4j:jsfunction to do that.

//js

function addMarker(){

     //gmaps code

    showPanel();

}

//jsf

<a4j:jsFunction name="showPanel" actionListener="#{mybean.showPanel}" reRender="panel">

</a4j:jsFunction>

//mybean.java

public void showPanel(ActionEvent event){

   modelPanel.setShowWhenRendered(true);

}

but it doesn't work, anything i missed?

hey,

it works using jsFunction now, my mistake,

PS: jsFunction is a really great component!

and is there anyway to make the model panel with no model, like a regular message box?

thank you
