a4j:commandButton submit whole page

[peterbasutkar]

Hi All

Requirement : how to avoid page submission on <a4:commandButton> click event.

Description : i am using rich faces 3.3.1 and gravel tag library.

                   we have a requirement to call action befor page renders ,because of this we used gravels <ga:responseActions> tag but all the actions inside <ga:responseActions> should get called only when page renders first time , but whenever i call my action using <a4j:commandButton> then bean method is getting called first and then all the actions inside <ga:responseActions> gets calles again.

                     on any action using <a4j:commandButton> in that page all the actions inside <ga:responseActions> are getting called and i want to restrict that from happening

my page is as follows

             <ga:responseActions>
                <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{name}" value="#{myBean.name}"/>
            </ga:responseActions>

            <h:form>
               <a4j:outputPanel id="panel" ajaxRendered="true">
                 <h:inputText value="#{myBean.address}" />
                 <a4j:commandButton value="submit" action="#{myBean.next}" reRender="panel"/>
                 <h:outputText value="#{myBean.zipCode}" />
              </a4j:outputPanel>
          </h:form>

       is there any equivalent solution in jsf(richFaces,a4j) compared to gravel.

Do you use f:setPropertyActionListener + ga:responseActions in order to set some bean parameters when bean just has been created?

If so you can easily use the following approach in your faces-config.xml:

<managed-bean>

        <managed-bean-name>someBean</managed-bean-name>

        <managed-bean-class>

            com.test.SomeBean

        </managed-bean-class>

        <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>

        <managed-property>

            <property-name>name</property-name>

            <value>#{name}</value>

</managed-property>

</managed-bean>

<managed-bean>

        <managed-bean-name>someBean</managed-bean-name>

        <managed-bean-class>

            com.test.SomeBean

        </managed-bean-class>

        <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>

        <managed-property>

            <property-name>name</property-name>

            <value>#{name}</value>

     </managed-property>

</managed-bean>
