a:support onclick not working

[reis.tiago]

Hi,

I'm new to SEAM so forgive me if this is isn't the correct place to post this kind of questions, or if I miss on giving some information

I'm trying to build a jsf page (with ajax) that look like the following:

...

<a:repeat id="detail" value="#{bean}" var="temp" >
<div>
    <a:support event="onclick" actionListener="#{bean.method}"/>
    <h:graphicImage value="/img.jpg"></h:graphicImage>
    #{temp.name} <br/>
</div>                                         
</a:repeat>

...

While the image is rendered ok, the click event doesn't do anything. I wonder if one can use a:support inside a:repeat??

I'm using SEAM 2.1.1 GA.

Thanks for any help that you can provide me.

Hi,

The <a:support> should be nested in a visual component that can emit client-side (Javascript) events. You have nested it within a <a:repeat> (the <div> is NOT a component, it is plain markup for JSF).

If you want a graphic button that triggers a server-side action, use something like this instead:

<a:commandButton image="/img.jpg" action="#{bean.method}" />

Or, to support server interaction for a component that would normally not support it, use (from the RichFaces docs):

<h:inputText value="#{bean.text}">
    <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="repeater"/>
</h:inputText>

But remember the <a:support> allways applies to components (<h:...>, <a:...>, <rich:...> thingies).

I think it is easier to to this instead of having a a:support with onclick. I believe this will work

<h:commandLink action="#{bean.myAction}">
  <h:graphicImage value="/img.jpg"/>
</h:commandLink>

If it is not important what is reRendered, I think the a4j or rich package has some commandLink where you can reRender.

Just wanted to say thanks to both of you for the suggestions.

Problem solved.
