Conditional rendering of rich:panelMenuGroup & its content

[jethroborsje]

Hi all,

I have a situation in which I want to conditionally render a rich:panelMenuGroup and its content (which are a bunch of rich:panelMenuItems) using AJAX. When I load my page the "rendered" attribute of the rich:panelMenuGroup is "false" (based on a property in my backing bean). By clicking on an a4j:commandLink I change the value of the backing bean to "true" and "rerender" the rich:panelMenuGroup. This results in the rich:panelMenuGroup being shown, but the containing rich:panelMenuItems are still not shown. When I do a hard refresh (F5) the rich:panelMenuItems appear on the screen.

My question is this: how can I conditionally render a rich:panelMenuGroup and its containing rich:panelMenuItems using AJAX?

Best regards,

Jethro

Thank you for your response, but it doesn't solve my problem. In my "rerender" I use the id of the a4j:outputPanel which surrounds the rich:panelMenu which contains the rich:panelMenuGroup which should become visible.

It works fine when I make sure the rich:panelMenuGroup is always rendered and I conditionally render the rich:panelMenuItems instead of conditionally rendering both the rich:panelMenuItems & the rich:panelMenuGroup. However: I want both the rich:panelMenuGroup and the rich:panelMenuItem to render conditionally.
