Index Access

[jgilbert]

I'm having trouble accessing indexed rows in a data table.

Here are the code fragments:

client.clickCommandLink("0:editLink");

<a4j:htmlCommandLink id="editLink"
 action="#{editor.editEntity}">
 <f:param name="id" value="#{row.id}"/>
</a4j:htmlCommandLink>

If there is only one row in the table it sort of works. But when there are many rows I get the following error:

org.jboss.jsfunit.facade.DuplicateClientIDException: 0:editLink matches more than one JSF component ID. Use a more specific ID suffix. Suffix matches: searchForm:searchTable:0:editLink, searchForm:searchTable:0:editLink
at org.jboss.jsfunit.facade.ClientIDs.findClientID(ClientIDs.java:169)
at org.jboss.jsfunit.facade.JSFClientSession.getForm(JSFClientSession.java:153)
at org.jboss.jsfunit.facade.WebRequestFactory.buildRequest(WebRequestFactory.java:93)
at org.jboss.jsfunit.facade.JSFClientSession.clickCommandLink(JSFClientSession.java:442)

In addition the link parameter isn't passed when the link is clicked.

Any ideas? Does my code look wrong?

I don't think you did anything wrong. We have a test for this kind of thing in the A4J support module, so it should work.

However, since the error says that two components have the same exact client ID, it means we probably have a bug in either JSFUnit or the JSF implementation. See http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/UsingComponentIDs for a discussion of JSFUnit and component/client IDs.

Which JSF implementation are you using? Also, which version of A4J/RichFaces are you using?

Here are the versions I am using:
MyFaces 1.1.4
ajax4jsf-1.1.1
richfaces-3.0.1

I figured out how to make it work for the most part. I had to wrap my columns with <rich:columnGroup> the same way I did in the header facet.

However, I noticed that addUIData() added the ancestors (aka header facet) over and over again for each row. This could be an issue for other test cases.

Thanks for the report. Since there is a workaround, I probably won't get to look at it until after beta.

This should be working now as a result of fixing JSFUNIT-81 and some other fixes.

I left a note about MyFaces 1.1.4 in JSFUNIT-81:
