Passing parameters through richfaces components

[msantana]

Hi everyone!
I´m trying to figure it out how to pass parameters through richfaces components.  The idea is this:
I have a gridpanel with a column wich has a button. Then when i click on a button (a:commandButton), it opens a modalpanel on attribute: oncomplete=#{rich:component('cantidadPanel')}.show(),

So i want to set on a h:inputHidden in the modalPanel, the id of the object i clicked on the grid.

I will be very thankful! and thanx in advice!!!

Did you try this

<a:commandButton action="#{someBean.someMethod}" reRender="theModalPanel" oncomplete="show modal panel">
    <f:setPropertyActionListener value="some value" target="#{someBean.someProperty}"/>
</a:commandButton>

<rich:modalPanel ...>
    <a:form>
        <h:inputHidden value="#{someBean.someProperty}" />
    </a:form>
</rich:modalPanel>

If you need the button id, maybe you should try actionListener instead of action for the a:commandButton.

Not sure if it works but that's what I think.

Tank you for the replay!.
Yes i already do that but i only want to know if there is a way to pass values through the richfaces components without setting it to a property of a bean. Something ilke: On the action of a button set the value to some input but without setting a property on a bean.

Thanx again for your support!

I've faced with the same problem. I've asked the same question to the richfaces users form and absolutely get no reply :) I wrote  a bean and passed variables from one component to other by using that.

You can always set the value of the h:inputHidden directly from Javascript using its id, like:

<a:commandButton onclick="document.getElementById('hidden:id').value=#{var.id}" ... />

Where hidden:id is the client id of the h:inputHidden and #{var.id} is the id of the current object.

Thank to all of you guys! I will try setting the value through JavaScript!
Thanx again!
