How to make <rich:popupPanel> to show up from bean?

[kateryna]

hi!

I'm trying to actually popup the popupPanel directly from bean, but this code doesn't work:

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
UIPopupPanel startComp = (UIPopupPanel) context.getViewRoot().findComponent("popup");

startComp.setShow(true);
startComp.setRendered(true);

context.renderResponse();

It produces no errors, but doesn't show the popup. Maybe, I'm missing something. Need help:)

Using version 4.0.0.20100826-M2

Showing the panel

There should be next ways to show the panel on the client

• by calling JS api show method
• by defining show boolean attribute(false by default) to true. (prev showWhenRendered)

POST M! We should discuss switchType(showMode) for the panel in future - loading by ajax out of the box on show.
