Data loading in ModalPanel

[phoenixvn]

Hi all,

I have been working with RichFaces for only 1 months and here is my problem with the data loading in ModalPanel: I have 1 JSF page for filtering and searching data. In this page, one criterion is chosen from a ModalPanel (which in turn, is also a filtering page). Then, I found that:

- everytime the parent page is loaded, the data on the ModalPanel is also loaded although it is not visible

- everytime the ModalPanel is openned and submitted, not only its data but also the parent's is loaded simultaneously

As the data on both pages are read from database, it is a good idea to load only the needed data. But I couldn't find out how to do it in this scenario.

If anyone can point me a way out of this problem, I would appreciate very much.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Is there anyone with experience on this problem?

Thanks,

True, modal panel is solely a client-side component. Use AJAX command component to reRender it with actual data and then show by oncomplete.

Modal panel is not a separate window or IFRAME, that's why the whole page is reloaded. Use AJAX command components.
