Second click problem resolved

[geschtli]

Ilya are right. There is no intervention required.

Two different ajax views should be handled in ONE form, and

not in two separate.

A simple example shows it:

<ui:define name="top">

             <h:form>

             <h:panelGrid id="panel" columns="5">

               <h:panelGroup rendered="#{!loginBean.loggedIn}">

               <!--  <ui:include src="/sections/header/loginHeader.xhtml"/> -->

               <div style="width:60%;font-size:14px;line-height:42px;background-color:white;color:black">

                   <h:outputText value="#{msg.name}" />

                   <h:inputText value="#{loginBean.alias}" required="true" />

                   <h:outputText value="#{msg.pwd}" />

                   <h:inputSecret  value="#{loginBean.password}"  required="true" />

                   <h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{loginBean.checkLogin}" >

                      <a4j:ajax execute="@form" render=":refl" />

                   </h:commandButton>                

               </div>

               </h:panelGroup>

               <h:panelGroup rendered="#{loginBean.loggedIn}">

                  <!-- <ui:include src="/sections/header/logoutHeader.xhtml"/> -->

                   <h:commandButton value="Logout" action="#{loginBean.logout}" >

                      <a4j:ajax execute="@form" render=":refl" />

                    </h:commandButton>

               </h:panelGroup>

             </h:panelGrid>

             </h:form> 

        </ui:define>

The two commandButton tags should not be respectivaly suround with (<form></form>) tags.

good to know. You resolved your issue.

Why is that so?

Why do I have to put two different ajax calls of a page within the SAME form ?

I have had the same problem. When using two different forms and submitting a selectOneMenu of the second form via ajax by selecting an item nothing happens. When selecting again, the item is being selected successfully. So I have to select twice because the first select is ignored. Why is that so?

When putting the selectOneMenu of the second form into the first form and do the ajax-select, then it works

Good joke:-)

But i thing, other developer have also that nasty handling

with that.

It should be best practice to minimize the content within a form - why I am forced to wrap ALL my input-fields and the like within ONE form only to make ajax-calls? Of course, I can minimze the execute-tags but normally I want to logically group views into different forms and not into one whole form.

It's logically not always a good solution.

If you have all in separate files, think about this.

If you have a conditionally rendering, so that only

one component is rendered, the you can have to much

tags in your end script.

Suddenly in your client html script,

you can have such :

<form>

--- the rendered part ---

</form>

<form>

--- the not rendered part ---

</form>

But we need is only such:

<form>

--- the rendered part ---

</form>
