Actionlistener in a4j:support not getting triggered

[techmaverick]

Hi,

My requirement is to create dependent select boxes i.e one change of one combobox the other should be triggered. I wanted it do thru ajax and so I used richfaces to do it. But no matter how hard I try I am not able to get the actionListener method to be triggered

Following are the details

Myfaces - 2.0.3

Richfaces - 3.3.1GA

Weblogic - 10.3

Facelets - 1.1.15

The code in .xhtml page is

<t:panelGroup style="width:200px">

        <rich:comboBox value="#{AssetClassEntitlementBean.classificationTypeId}" id="classificationTypeId">

         <f:selectItems value="#{AssetClassEntitlementBean.classificationTypeList}" /> 

          <a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="classificationId" actionListener="{AssetClassEntitlementBean.getTest}">

         </a4j:support>

         <a4j:log level="ALL" popup="false" width="400" height="200"/>

        </rich:comboBox>    

       </t:panelGroup>

       <t:panelGroup style="width:200px">        

               <h:selectOneMenu id="classificationId" value="#{AssetClassEntitlementBean.classificationTypeId}">        

          <f:selectItems value="#{AssetClassEntitlementBean.classificationTypeList}" />

         </h:selectOneMenu>

       </t:panelGroup>

The code in the bean is

public void getTest(ActionEvent ae){

     System.out.println("test");\\ This does not get printed when I make the change in the first textbox

}

Try  using a a4j:region.

sample:

<t:panelGroup style="width:200px">

     <a4j:region>

        <rich:comboBox value="#{AssetClassEntitlementBean.classificationTypeId}" id="classificationTypeId">

         <f:selectItems value="#{AssetClassEntitlementBean.classificationTypeList}" /> 

          <a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="classificationId" actionListener="{AssetClassEntitlementBean.getTest}">

         </a4j:support>

         <a4j:log level="ALL" popup="false" width="400" height="200"/>
        </rich:comboBox> 

   </a4j:region>  

       </t:panelGroup>

       <t:panelGroup style="width:200px">        

               <h:selectOneMenu id="classificationId" value="#{AssetClassEntitlementBean.classificationTypeId}">        

          <f:selectItems value="#{AssetClassEntitlementBean.classificationTypeList}" />

         </h:selectOneMenu>

       </t:panelGroup>

HI Juan,

But ths doesnt work. I had already tried ths and tried it again nw but still ActionListener method doesnt get triggered. I have absolutely no idea what the issue could be.Have to say tht richfaces is not as straightforward as it has been projected. This is supposed to be a very simple requirement but it has already cost me a day.

hi,

Is there any validation error? any js error? All 6 phase of lifecycle is complete?

I know ths sounds extremely funny but I resolved this and I m banging my head in the wall rite nw. The solution for this is to move the a4j:support line next to the h:selectOnemenu line.I dont know how this resolved this issue but it did the trick.

Thanks Juan & Liumi.Appreciate ur help
