a4j:commandLink does not work inside orderingList

alrfjb Jan 11, 2012 12:39 PM

Hello, I have a problem with orderingList. Here is my xhtml page: {code}

{code} and this is the bean: {code} package com.lixto.di.ui; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import javax.ejb.Stateful; import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped; import javax.inject.Named; @Stateful @Named("test") @SessionScoped public class TestBean { private String text = ""; public String getText() { return text; } public void setText(String text) { this.text = text; } public List getItems() { List items = new ArrayList(); items.add(new TestItem("item 1")); items.add(new TestItem("item 2")); return items; } } {code} this does not work. the commandLink is not executed. If I change orderingList to a dataTable everything works as expected. Do I need a converter for the orderingList? If so: why and how should it look like? I already tried to use a converter but it also did not work. Is a commandLink within the orderingList not allowed or did I miss something? this is the generated tag when using the orderingList (copied with firebug), it looks exactly the same for both links (including id): {code:xml} show{code} I'm using RF 4.1.0.final and GF 3.1

sorry for the post. I tried to format the code with a {code} tag as is recommended in the 'Wiki Markup Help' link but obviously this didn't work. Now trying it with html pre tag...

I have a problem with orderingList. Here is my xhtml page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

  xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
  xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j">
 
<h:head></h:head>
<h:body>
    <h:form>
        <rich:orderingList value="#{test.items}" id="items" var="item">
            <rich:column>
              <h:outputText value="#{item.description}" />
            </rich:column>
            <rich:column>
              <a4j:commandLink value="show" render="out" action="#{test.setText(item.description)}" />
            </rich:column>
        </rich:orderingList>
    </h:form>
    <a4j:outputPanel id="out">
        <h:outputText value="Description: #{test.text}"/>
    </a4j:outputPanel>
</h:body>
</html>

and this is the bean:

package com.lixto.di.ui;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javax.ejb.Stateful;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;

@Stateful
@Named("test")
@SessionScoped
public class TestBean {

    private String text = "";
    public String getText() {
        return text;
    }
    public void setText(String text) {
        this.text = text;
    }
    public List getItems() {
        List items = new ArrayList();
        items.add(new TestItem("item 1"));
        items.add(new TestItem("item 2"));
        return items;
    }
}

this does not work. the commandLink is not executed. If I change orderingList to a dataTable everything works as expected. Do I need a converter for the orderingList? If so: why and how should it look like? I already tried to use a converter but it also did not work. Is a commandLink within the orderingList not allowed or did I miss something?
