<rich:calendar> change event richfaces 4

[jonask]

Hi i have a rich:clendar elemnt. The problem is, that only the first time i change a date the bean-setter is invoked. any more changes arent updated...

here the code:

<h:form>
          <h:panelGrid columns="3">
                    <a4j:commandButton execute="@this" id="saveButton" action="#{treeBean.invokeSave}" value="Tabelle Speichern" disabled="#{!treeBean.displaySave}" render="undoButton,redoButton,saveButton"/>
                    <rich:column>
                              <h:outputText value="wirksam ab:" />
                                        <rich:calendar required="false" disabled="#{!treeBean.displaySave}" defaultLabel="kein Datum -> sofort" value="#{treeBean.selectedDate}" id="calendar" locale="treeBean.locale" enableManualInput="true" datePattern="dd.MM.yyyy">
                                                  <a4j:ajax event="change" execute="@this" render="calendar"/>
                                                  <rich:validator/>
                                        </rich:calendar>
                    </rich:column>
                    <rich:message for="calendar"/>
          </h:panelGrid>
</h:form>

is there a different event i could use? like datechanged or sth.?

i also tried to use the ondateselect attribute and there call a js-function, but that didnt worked for me, neither.

i am trying to realize it together with jsr-303 validation... thanks for your help.

Hi Jonas,

Does the same reproduce if you remove disabled="#{!treeBean.displaySave}" ?

Hello Nick, yes, it doesnt matter...

I just noticed that it works every time i refresh the whole page.

So i can 1. select a date and the setter is invoked then i can select more but they arent saved. when i reload the page the last saved date is set and i can save a new one, but only one...

I had the same problem and solved it with the following attribute :

ondateselect="submit"

example:

<h:form>

<rich:calendar value="#{dateController.selectedStartDate}" id="beginDate" locale="#{dateController.locale}"

                     popup="#{dateController.popup}" datePattern="#{dateController.pattern}" ondateselect="submit"

                     showApplyButton="#{dateController.showApply}" cellWidth="24px" cellHeight="22px" style="width:200px"/>

</h:form>

hope it will help you too

greets,

paddy

yeah thank you thats a possibility. i used ondateselect="document.getElementById('calendarForm').submit(); return false;"

the only thing is, that my whole site refreshes now when i submit the form...
