Result of @this in complex component like r:select

[markoc50]

Hi,

I' m confused: what should appear in HTTP request if @this is used in f:ajax like:

<h:form id="formId">

  <rich:select id="selectId">

    <f:ajax event="change" execute="@this" />

  <rich:select>

</h:form>

Currently request created with ajax contains: execute formId:selectIdInput

- with  "Input" suffix and that means component is not executed on server!

Reason is obvious: @this is interpreted as id of source element in DOM and that is in this case 'input part' of rich:select component.

Is this a specification problem, known issue or am I  missing  something?

Why ajax behaviour renderer does not encode '@this' as client id of parent component directly?

Ok,

here is the answer: http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg50884.html://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg50884.html:

" To support this case, we added the ClientBehaviorContext.getSourceId() API:

http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/faces/component/behavior/ClientBehaviorContext.html#getSourceId()

This allows renderers that attach client behaviors to non-root DOM

elements to explicitly specify the id that corresponds to the

component. "
