a4j:outputPanel ajaxrendered keep on running - richfaces 4

[senthilnz]

Hi,

In my below code it seems the ajax rendering is not working, what happens is while clicking on a link(a4j:commandLink) in the menu item, I call this below code, somehow its not at all called instead the progressbar is keeps running and its never finishes.I would expect to see a popup window with a selection for gender. This was working correctly in rf 3.3.3.

problematic code,

<ui:composition 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">
    <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
        <rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax"
            selectedTab="User" width="600px" >
            <rich:tab name="User" label="General">

               <ui:decorate template="/template.xhtml">
                      <ui:define name="label">Gender:</ui:define>
                      <h:selectOneMenu  value="#{user.gender}"  required="true" >
                      <f:selectItem itemLabel="Select Gender..." />
                      <f:selectItem itemLabel="Female" itemValue="F" />
                      <f:selectItem itemLabel="Male" itemValue="M" />
                    </h:selectOneMenu>

              </ui:decorate>                     
            </rich:tab>
        </rich:tabPanel>
    </a4j:outputPanel>

</ui:composition>

menu link code,

<f:facet name="label">User</f:facet>   
     <rich:menuItem value="Add User">
             <a4j:commandLink value="Add User" 
                 oncomplete="#{rich:component('User') )}.show()"
                 render="mp_add_#{mr.ui.get('MR_USER')}" />
     </rich:menuItem>

Am I doing something wrong here? I'm asking many questions due to usage of richfaces 4 and I really don't find any documentation on this.

Thanks,

SK

1) Add rich:messages tag on your page if it's not present yet

2) Does your a4j:commandLink have h:form?

[senthilnz]

Yes, I do have h:form for the a4j:commandLink.

Do you mean rich:message? I didn't find the rich:messages tag.

[ilya40umov]

Sorry. I forgot that this tag still was not present in RF 4.0.

Please, look at my answer in http://community.jboss.org/thread/160770?tstart=0

P.S. Regarding to this question: May be something has changed in RF 4.0 JS API. Which component must be shown in a popup window when you run #{rich:component('User') )}.show()? Should it be rich:tab?

[senthilnz]

Hi Ilya,

Yes, the component to be shown is rich:tab

Thanks

I'm afraid I've never used such a feature of RF. Do you mean that it should be wrapped in something like rich:modalPanel?(You wrote about a popup window and I imagine rich:modalPanel when hear about it.)

[senthilnz]

Actually, the rich:tab is only for displaying multiple tabs, but in the end I wanted the output to be in a popup using a4j:outputPanel. I know this was working in older richfaces version.

[ilya40umov]

Ok. Thanks. Now I understood. I suppose only RF team can tell you more about what's wrong with RF 4.0 and your code.
