Conversation + modal + form submit issue

[fmontezuma]

Hi,

I have a conversation working on a page and in this page I have a button that opens a modal.

In this modal I have a form that does some search. (I use a separate bean here)

In this modal form I have some data validation.

The point is:

• Type something wrong at an input field.


• Type something right at another input field.


• Submit the form


• Seam returns me the errors in the modal.


• Close the modal without correcting the values (I have an action triggered here to set null to bean properties).


• Open the modal again and the typed values still there.

I figured out that forcing the form submit using oncomplete=document.form.submit() when I close the panel clean the wrong typed inputs, but it still returns me the right typed values which I don't want.

Debugging the code I can see that Seam set the right values (I don't know why or how) after I force this form submission, which happens after my cleaning method.

What can I do to clean the panel everytime I open it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Fabio,

Use am Ajax button to open the ModalPanel and so-some-action. The ajax-button (or link) has all the attributes you need to make it work:

Small example;

<a4j:commandButton 
id="noteButton"
image="../images/Edit.gif"
action="#{WaheteverAction.doWhatYouNeedTodo}"
eventsQueue="inputQueue"
oncomplete="#{rich:component('yourModalPanel')}.show();"
reRender="yourModalPanelContent, yourModalPanelHeader" />

The rerender attributes references two different id's in the modalmodal (one for the content and one for the header. The action can be used to clean-up everything.

Thanks for the tip Leo.

Actually I already had try that. This piece of code alone doesn't work.
I got it working now, but I had to force submit and form reRender on modal close too. (so wrong fields are cleaned)

I feel like this isn't right but that was the only way I could get it working as expected.
