    rendering of outputPanel with dataTable

    blebleskeble

      HI all,

       

      im facing strange porblem in RF 4.1 CR1 (Apache Tomcat 6.0, el libs 2.2)

       

      I've got a4j:commandLink that launches action listener and render a4j:outputPanel. In this listener I change data that are displayed in a4j:outputPanel (There are some h:outputTexts and rich:dataTable)

      Problem is that data are succesfully changed in managed bean, all outputTexts are rendered with changes, but not dataTable. When I render this outputPanel again (with no changes in mb), table is succesfully rendered with proper values. (sources with exampple are attached)

       

      I hadn't this problem with RF 4.1 M3

       

      Is there some way for me to solve this problem?

          Hi,

           

          I think that there might be problem with components in RichFaces. But as a workaround try not to create new instance in randomizeContent() method. Instead clear items and refill them.

           

           

          private void randomizeContent() {
            Random r = new Random(System.currentTimeMillis());
            int num = (r.nextInt(20));
            name = "Size " + num;
          
            //items = new ArrayList<String>();
            items.clear();
            for (int i = 0; i < num; i++) {
              items.add("Item" + (i + 1));
            }
          }
          

           

          There would be problem that some component holds reference to list but you create the new one.

            ok, so here are codes:

             

             

            DummyBean.java

            
            import java.io.Serializable;

            @SuppressWarnings("serial")
            @ManagedBean(name = "mb")
            @ViewScoped
            public class DummyBean implements Serializable{
                private String name;
                private List<String> items;
                
                public DummyBean() {
                    name = "";
                    items = new ArrayList<String>();
                    randomizeContent();
                }
            
                public String getName() {
                    return name;
                }
            
                public void setName(String name) {
                    this.name = name;
                }

                    return items;
                }
            
                public void setItems(List<String> items) {
                    this.items = items;
                }
                
                public void action(ActionEvent event) {
                    randomizeContent();
                }
                
                private void randomizeContent() {
                    Random r = new Random(System.currentTimeMillis());
                    int num = (r.nextInt(20));
                    name = "Size " + num;
                    
                    items = new ArrayList<String>();
                    for (int i = 0; i < num; i++) {
                        items.add("Item" + (i + 1));
                    }
                }
            }

                Same problem occurs with collapsibleSubTable, but with my solution I'm not able to hold reference to its data object.
