The value provider of rich:dataTable is called even when reR
Hi,
I think there is a strange behavior in rich:dataTable. If a component sends an AJAX
request with its ajaxSingle="true", and its reRender points to other components than
rich:dataTable, dataTable gets the value of its ValueExpression. This is a different behavior
than other components like h:inputText or normal components.
I run the code below with RichFaces 3.3.0.GA, MyFaces 1.2.6 and Facelets 1.1.14.
Does anybody know why dataTable has to gets its data, while it is not supposed to
be rendered?
Each time "inc" button is clicked, numClicked is increased on the server side, and the
getter method of h:inputText (with id="name") is not called because "inc" command
sends single an ajax request and reRenders just outputText, But #{bean.names} is
called (in Render Response Phase), even though ajaxSingle=true and reRender does not
point to the id of dataTable.
Bean.java (Session-Scoped Backing Bean):
package com.sg;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Bean {
private String name = "Ali";
private int numClicked = 0;
private List<String> names;
public Bean() {
names = new ArrayList<String>();
names.add("Name 1");
names.add("Name 2");
names.add("Name 3");
names.add("Name 4");
names.add("Name 5");
names.add("Name 6");
names.add("Name 7");
}
public void incNumClicked() {
System.out.println("IN INC Command Clicked");
numClicked++;
}
public String getName() {
System.err.println("IN GET NAME");
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public int getNumClicked() {
System.err.println("GET NUM CLICKED");
return numClicked;
}
public void setNumClicked(int numClicked) {
this.numClicked = numClicked;
}
public List<String> getNames() {
System.err.println("IN GET NAMES");
return names;
}
}

</f:facet>
<rich:column>
<h:outputText value="#{idx + 1}" id="idx" />
</rich:column>
<rich:column>
<h:outputText value="#{name}" id="name" />
</rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>
</h:form>
</f:view>

I hope I could explain the problem. BTW if it is not a bug, how can I prevent dataTable
from calling #{bean.names}.
