seam page action and rich:modalPanel

[knice147]

Is there a way to get a page action to fire when a rich:modalPanel opens up?  Can it be done from the pages.xml?

You'd be better to call it using the modals onbeforeshow (or onshow) event.

I can think of a couple of approaches:

1. Add an a4j:support tag to the modal (haven't tried this but should work). eg:

<rich:modalPanel id="modal">
  <a4j:support event="onbeforeshow" action="#{myBean.myPageAction}" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="modalDiv"/>
  <s:div id="modalDiv">
  ...
  </s:div>
</rich:modalPanel>

2. Use an a4j:jsFunction

<rich:modalPanel id="modal" onbeforeshow="doAction">
  <s:div id="modalDiv">
  ...
  </s:div>
</rich:modalPanel>

<a4j:jsFunction name="doAction" action="#{myBean.myPageAction}" reRender="modalDiv"/>

Cheers,

Damian.

Hello together

The first solution is not working. But I have no idea why ... Maybe it's because we are now already on the Richfaces Version V3.3.3.FINAL...
