a4j:commandLink problem with richfaces 4

[senthilnz]

Hi,

The below code was correctly working in richfaces-3.3.3 but its not working in richfaces 4,

<rich:menuItem>
        <a4j:commandLink value="Delete" action="#{mr.getCheckedInstances()}"
            oncomplete="#{rich:component( 'delete' )}.show()"
            reRender="mp_deleteBulk_#{mr.uiParams.get('MANAGER_NAME')}" />
    </rich:menuItem>

The below code is id named 'delete' to be shown as popup window, previously it was modalPanel now its been changed to popupPanel richfaces 4.

<rich:popupPanel xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
    xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j" id="delete"
    domElementAttachment="parent" resizeable="false" autosized="true" modal="true" >

    <f:facet name="header">
        <h:outputText value="#{header}" />
    </f:facet>

    <a4j:region>
 
   
    <h:panelGrid columns="2">
        <a4j:commandButton value="Delete"
            action="#{mr.delete()}" reRender="#{rerender}" status="actionStatus"

            oncomplete="#{rich:component( fn:join( 'delete') )}.hide(); #{rich:component('mp_errors')}.show();" />
    </h:panelGrid>
    </a4j:region>       

</rich:popupPanel>

I think the oncomplete or reRender is not working as correctly. Do anyone have a idea about this?

-Thanks

1) a4j:commandButton does not have an attribute reRender. You should use render instead.

2) If you think that your problem is in JS code you could try using JS alert command to find a point when JS stops working.

Thanks for the answer!!

Now the request is happening but it seems the reRender on a4j:commandLink is not working. I've taken a look into the a4j.taglib.xml there is no tag as attribute named 'reRender' for a4j:commandLink but there is 'render'. Is that also the same case as 'a4j:commandButton'?

Yes, it is the same. It's JSF 2.0 style.

and take care of submission mode for menu if using your own command links inside in order not to rise concurrent requests. In 4.x none mode values are refactored to client to be consistent in all components.
