RichFaces Tree process attrobute does not call Validators/Co

[rosmons]

I am using the code attached below for a tree control:

 <r:tree id="policyComponentsTreeBase" switchType="client"
 ajaxSingle="true" ajaxSubmitSelection="true"
 showConnectingLines="true" selectedClass="selectedTreeNode"
 nodeSelectListener="#{PolicyControllerBean.getCurrentNode}"
 reRender="policyComponentsSelectionPanel"
 process="policyComponentsSelectionPanel">
 <a4j:actionparam name="sortField" value="" />
 <r:recursiveTreeNodesAdaptor id="productGroups"
 roots="#{PolicyControllerBean.productGroupsList}" var="node"
 nodes="#{node.children}">
 <r:treeNode><h:outputText styleClass="#{node.displayStyle}" value="#{node.displayText}"/></r:treeNode>
 </r:recursiveTreeNodesAdaptor>
 </r:tree>

Now, everything seems to work fine except one issue that i have noticed.
Whenever I move from node to node, any converters/validators in a panelGrid with the id "policyComponentsSelectionPanel" are not invoked. Also the nodeSelectedEvent which is triggered to be invoked during the Update_model_values phase is being invoked correctly, but the values i populated in panelGrid with id "policyComponentsSelectionPanel" are not being set to the bean.

Can anybody suggest any reason for this? If i remove the ajaxSingle="true" the reRender doesn't seem to happen.

When a node on the tree is clicked, I have observed a very significant difference when different JSF phases are being executed from when a a4j:commandLink is clicked.

In the case when a tree node is clicked the ajaxContext.getAjaxAreasToProcess() method call in the AjaxViewRoot.processValidators method returns null, even though I have provided an id in the process attribute in the tree.

On the other hand when an a4j:commandLink is clicked the ajaxContext.getAjaxAreasToProcess() method returns the appropriate id.

Any hints are welcome.

Hi,

Thank you for reporting: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7323!

This was noticed in both 3.2.2.GA and 3.3.1.GA versions.

Thanks for the information! The problem reproduces with 3.3.2-SNAPSHOT very good and that's enough :)

This bug has been fixed now. I downloaded code from the community branch and tested it. It's working now. How's it possible to know when this will be released?

Hi Rosmons,

We will be discussing the timing for the 3.3.2 release at the upcoming team meeting in Brno next week. I suspect we will release 3.3.2 sometime in August.

This is not 100% and we'll know more after the meeting, and will post up information from there.

Regards,
