Generated id of the components included in multiple pages

[leelavathic]

I have a page - main.xhtml which includes following two pages
- frame1.xhtml
- frame2.xhtml
Note: Only one among frame1.xhtml and frame2.xhtml will be displayed at a time.

Both frame1.xhtml and frame2.xhtml include a common page - dateField.xhtml

dateField.xhtml has a selectOneMenu. The complete id of this field is always w.r.t frame1


main.xhtml

<ui:fragment rendered="#{frameMgdBean.type=='frame1'}" >
 <a4j:include id="frame1page" viewId="/websites/frame1.xhtml"/>
</ui:fragment>
<ui:fragment rendered="#{frameMgdBean.type=='frame2'}" >
 <a4j:include id="frame2page" viewId="/websites/frame2.xhtml"/>
</ui:fragment>

frame1.xhtml

<a4j:include viewId="/websites/dateField.xhtml"/>

frame2.xhtml

<a4j:include viewId="/websites/dateField.xhtml"/>

dateField.xhtml

<h:selectOneMenu id="frameDateRange" >
 <a4j:support event="onchange" onsubmit="setDate()"/>
 <h:inputHidden id="currentDate" value=""/>
 <f:selectItem itemValue="-1" itemLabel=""/>
 <f:selectItem itemValue="Next Hour"/>
 <f:selectItem itemValue="Last Hour"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>

<script>

 function setDate() {
 alert('#{rich:clientId('currentDate')}');
 }

</script>

The alert always displays 'frame1page:currentDate'. When the frame2.xhtml is rendered, I want the alert to display 'frame2page:currentDate'

Hi, I think script part is static, it is rendered once and doesn't change any more, so you only see the same string on the alert window.
What confused me is that the first fragement's attribute "rendered" set to false, it is still not change, maybe the page rendered on the server side following an order.
Can anyone guide me?

[yyq2009]

I've forgotten something.
Replacing <ui:fragment> with <c:if test="showornot">, it may be ok.
if test="false", the jsf engine will skip the childrend of it.

I don't want to mix up jstl and richfaces.

Is there any other way of generating the ids depending on the page which includes the component.

why i cant find rendered attribute on <ui:fragment> in the doc of facelet? is it the problem?

[leelavathic]

Even I could not find any documentation regarding rendered attribute of ui:fragment.

I tried even using rich:tabPanel instead of ui:fragment, but still the issue remains

main.xhtml

<rich:tabPanel rendered="#{frameMgdBean.type=='frame1'}" >
 <rich:tab>
 <a4j:include id="frame1page" viewId="/websites/frame1.xhtml"/>
 </rich:tab>
</rich:tabPanel>
<rich:tabPanel rendered="#{frameMgdBean.type=='frame2'}" >
 <rich:tab>
 <a4j:include id="frame1page" viewId="/websites/frame2.xhtml"/>
 </rich:tab>
</rich:tabPanel>

[yyq2009]

Hi, how about this?
<a4j:include viewId="/#{frameMgdBean.type=='frame1'?'websites/frame1.xhtml':'websites/frame2.xhtml'}"/>
don't test it.

[liuliu]

maybe it is problem of rich:clientId. after my test, it is the function in the second page included is called.

[nbelaevski]

rich:clientId searches the nearest context first and does this independently on whether target component is rendered now or not. You can qualify id manually like this:

frame2page:currentDate
