2 times a4j:include on 1 page

tom_sch Apr 17, 2009 6:02 AM

Hello,

I have been working with Richfaces for about a month now, and I encountered a problem:

I have my "main page", which consists out of 3 parts: A top part which is the main navigation, a west part which is my second navigation and a center part where my content goes.

Now, for each menu I have a backup bean where I set the value a a variable (link, in my case).

this is for example a link in my north part:

<a4j:commandLink action="#{dropDownMenuBean.goUsers}" styleClass="links" reRender="submenu">Users</a4j:commandLink>

goUsers sets the variable "link" in my bean to the page I want to go to. The tree in the submenu works the same, with another bean

I then have my ajax includes:

<a4j:include id="submenu" viewId="#{dropDownMenuBean.link}" />
<a4j:include id="contentpanel" viewId="#{treeBean.link}" />

When I only have one a4j:include on my page, everything works great. I click and the right page gets included. But when I have 2, everything gets messed up. The page I want to get included, just includes in the first a4j:include beneath the page that is already in there, very strange!

So I went back to 1 include and removed the id of it, and it still worked.

Is there any solution to my problem so I can have 2 dynamic includes on my page which don't mess up eachother?

Thanks for your time!

something wrong with just your page markup.. Could you please paste the snippets for page and includes fully. And check please the generated page with tidy validator plugin for FF.

Also which RF version used?

sorry, that was the wrong code, with only 1 ajax include, which works, this is the one with 2 ajax includes:

jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function () {

});

.links {

I seem to have forgot code tags, and editing posts doesn't work:

before bugging you with the whole project, I tried doing the same thing on a simple page:

1 panel with 2 buttons (which changed the value of the link variable in de backing beans). Same result. The page I want to include just includes in the first panel.

Anyone has example code of 2 a4j:includes on 1 page (where you get the viewId from a value in the backing bean)?
