suggestionbox triggering validation before a4j:support

[mthaxmiller]

I have a problem in that I need to call a4j:support from a suggestionbox
but the validation is triggered before the a4j:support request can be
called. I have tried the various suggestions in other posts
(ajaxSingle="true" and renderRegionOnly="false" in the a4j:region) but
no luck. Richfaces is 3.2.2. This is in a modal panel.

Here is the code:

<a4j:region>
 <tr>
 <td align="left">
 <h:selectOneMenu name="workSkillDescCombo"
 id="workSkillCodeCombo" label="Work Skill Description"
 value="#{MilitaryBean.occupation.workSkill.value}"
 required="true" requiredMessage="Work Skill Code: Value is required.">
 <f:selectItems value="#{CodeCacheBean.getASICodes$['ONETCODE'][true]}"/>
 <a4j:support ajaxSingle="true" event="onchange"
 actionListener="#{MilitaryBean.getIndustry}" reRender="militaryIndustry"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 <h:inputText onkeypress="return event.keyCode!=13"
 id="workSkillSearch" maxlength="15" size="15" styleClass="stdTextUp"
 value="#{MilitaryBean.workSkillSearch}"/>
 <rich:suggestionbox height="120" width="400" usingSuggestObjects="true"
 suggestionAction="#{CodeCacheBean.getSearchedCodes}"
 var="ws" for="workSkillSearch" fetchValue="#{ws.code.value}"
 id="suggestion2" tokens=","
 minChars="3" nothingLabel="No Matches" zindex="5000" ajaxSingle="true">
 <f:param name="codeName" value="ONETCODE"/>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{ws.code.value}" styleClass="stdLabelNoPad"/>
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{ws.descriptionPreSearchValue}"
 styleClass="stdLabelNoPad"/><h:outputText value="#{ws.searchValue}"
 styleClass="stdLabelRedNoPad"/><h:outputText
 value="#{ws.descriptionPostSearchValue}" styleClass="stdLabelNoPad"/>
 </h:column>
 <a4j:support event="onselect" ajajaxSingle="true"
 actionListener="#{MilitaryBean.getIndustry}"
 reRender="workSkillCodeCombo, militaryIndustry, workSkillSearch"/>
 </rich:suggestionbox>
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td align="left">
 <h:selectOneMenu id="militaryIndustry" label="Military Industry"
 disabled="true" value="#{MilitaryBean.occupation.industry.value}">
 <f:selectItems value="${MilitaryBean.industry}"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 </td>
 </tr>
</a4j:region>

Hello,

<a4j:support event="onselect" ajajaxSingle="true"

Have you copied this just from the page source?

[mthaxmiller]

Sorry, that's a typo caused by me formatting the code for easier reading on the forum. It is spelled correctly in the code. I can post the code again if it would be helpful.

[nbelaevski]

I think yes. Can you please add the piece defining input on which the validation error occurs?

[mthaxmiller]

The validation occurs on the selectOneMenu because required=true.
Here is the code:

<a4j:region>
 <tr>
 <td align="right">
 <h:graphicImage value="../images/asterisk.gif"></h:graphicImage>
 <h:outputLabel id="militaryWorkSkillLabel" for="workSkillCodeCombo" value=" Work Skill: " styleClass="stdLabel"/>
 </td>
 <td align="left">

 <h:selectOneMenu name="workSkillDescCombo" id="workSkillCodeCombo" label="Work Skill Description" required="true" requiredMessage="Work Skill: Value is required." converter="selectonemenublank" value="#{MilitaryBean.occupation.workSkill.value}">
 <f:selectItems value="#{CodeCacheBean.getASICodes$['ONETCODE'][true]}"/>
 <a4j:support event="onchange" actionListener="#{MilitaryBean.getIndustry}" reRender="militaryIndustry"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 <rich:spacer width="4px"></rich:spacer>
 <h:inputText onkeypress="return event.keyCode!=13" id="workSkillSearch" maxlength="15" size="15" styleClass="stdTextUp" onfocus="clearText()" onblur="clearText()" value="#{MilitaryBean.workSkillSearch}"/>
 <rich:suggestionbox height="120" width="400" usingSuggestObjects="true"
 suggestionAction="#{CodeCacheBean.getSearchedCodes}" var="ws" for="workSkillSearch" fetchValue="#{ws.code.value}" id="suggestion2" tokens=","
 minChars="3" nothingLabel="No Matches" zindex="5000">
 <f:param name="codeName" value="ONETCODE"/>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{ws.code.value}" styleClass="stdLabelNoPad"/>
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{ws.descriptionPreSearchValue}" styleClass="stdLabelNoPad"/><h:outputText value="#{ws.searchValue}" styleClass="stdLabelRedNoPad"/><h:outputText value="#{ws.descriptionPostSearchValue}" styleClass="stdLabelNoPad"/>
 </h:column>
 <a4j:support event="onselect" ajajaxSingle="true" actionListener="#{MilitaryBean.getIndustry}" reRender="workSkillCodeCombo, militaryIndustry"/>
 </rich:suggestionbox>
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td align="right">
 <h:outputLabel id="militaryIndustryLabel" for="militaryIndustry" value="Industry: " styleClass="stdLabel"/>
 </td>
 <td align="left">
 <h:selectOneMenu id="militaryIndustry" label="Military Industry" disabled="true" value="#{MilitaryBean.occupation.industry.value}">
 <f:selectItems value="${MilitaryBean.industry}"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 </td>
 </tr>
 </a4j:region>

[ilya_shaikovsky]

will it help if you wrap the input with suggestion to a4j:region?

which version you using?

[mthaxmiller]

Are you saying to also wrap the suggestionbox in an a4j:region? Currently the entire area of this page that is relevant to this suggestionbox is wrapped in an a4j:region.
Richfaces version is 3.2.2

[ilya_shaikovsky]

I told just about input and suggestion related to this input.

[mthaxmiller]

Works! Don't know why I didn't think of that before. Thanks Ilya.
