Cancel button with pop-up warning dialogue - navigation issues

ibrewster Jan 14, 2010 3:12 PM

I am new to Seam so please bear with me. I want to have a generic 'Cancel' button for my app which will firstly prompt the user with an 'Are you sure...' pop-up dialogue, and on OK should return to a specified page as a paramjeter. I can't get this to work - the pop-up dialogue is fine but I stay on the calling page. My code is as follows:

Facelet button

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
    xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">

  <script type="text/javascript">
    function confirmCancel() {
      return confirm("#{commonText.cancelConfirmation}");
    }
  </script>
  <s:button id="cancel" 
            view="#{nextView}" 
            value="#{commonText.cancel}"
            title="#{tooltip}" 
            onclick="return confirmCancel()"/>
</ui:composition>

Calling page snippet

<ui:include src="/layout/cancelButton.xhtml">
  <ui:param name="nextView" value="/useradmin/usermanager.xhtml"/>
  <ui:param name="tooltip" 
            value="#{identityManager.userExists(userAction.username)
                   ? userText.quitEditUserTooltip 
                   : userText.quitNewUserTooltip}" />
</ui:include>

I'm obviously missing something so any help much appreciated!

Thanks
Ian

you can simply include primefaces ;) that would have a great-ajax-confirm dialog. And if you don't like injecting another AJAX library to your application you can digg into the code and reimplement that funcitonal with jquery not the YUI.

Ilya, many thanks for your reply

So why is my example not working? And you're right we are trying to stick with RichFaces (which I'm also new to!) so some help with what to do with jQuery would be appreciated or a view of what to do to make it work without jQuery

Thanks again

you use javascript and don't call the JSF lifecycle when clicking the button :).

you should have a chain like this:

<a4j:commandButton action="/home.xhtml" onclick="if (!confirm('some info') ) {this.submit();}" value="some data submit" > </a4j:commandButton>
