Problem firing checkbox action in extendedDataTable with contextMenu

[blu3_ros3]

I have an extended dataTable that must support two different kind of action items:

1. based on a single row, e.g. edit user --> using contextMenu

2. based on multiple rows, e.g. delete users --> using checkbox

Now the problem is, everytime I click on the checkbox, the contextMenu would appear. I use "event.stopPropagation()" to disable the contextMenu, e.g. prevent the event from the contextMenu to bubble up. At a glance, this seems to take care of it, e.g. I could check the checkbox without having the contextMenu displayed. However, the value in the backing bean never gets updated when I clicked on the checkbox. If I removed "onclick="event.stopPropagation()", the backing bean gets updated accordingly but the context menu appears everytime the checkbox is clicked. This is undesirable.

This is the code:

<rich:extendedDataTable id="userTable" value="#{userForm.userList}" var="user"

     width="800px" height="400px" rowKeyVar="rkvar" sortMode="single" selectionMode="single">

          <rich:column id="checkboxCol" width="30px" height="10px">
                <h:selectBooleanCheckbox onclick="event.stopPropagation();" value="#{user.selected}" >

                       <a4j:support event="onclick" ajaxSingle="true" action="#{userForm.addUserToSelection}" />
               </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>   

          </rich:column>

</rich:extendedDataTable>

I've resolved the problem by placing the booleanCheckbox inside a panel.  Set the panel to prevent the event from bubbling up instead of setting  it on the checkbox component itself.

good to hear that resolved.

General advice according to your code snippets. It's RichFaces 3.3.3 limitation that you can't use a4j:support for component event and the js handler for the same event in the same time. event ha dler will rewrite support call.
