Why my action located within a rich:modalPanel is not executed

[ncarr]

I try to implement a modal panel to let the user confirm the deletion of some entities without successful.

Is here the code :

1) the command I use to do some staff before entities deletion and to show the modal on completion :

<h:form>
     <a4j:commandButton value="a4j:commandButton"  action="#{contractDeletor.prepareJob}"
          reRender="deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelId" ajaxSingle="true"
                    oncomplete="Richfaces.showModalPanel('deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelId',{width:400, top:200})" />                    
</h:form>
<a4j:include viewId="/ContractDeletionModal.xhtml" rendered="true" />

1) the code of the modal (simplified for understanding) :

<rich:modalPanel id="deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelId"
     autosized="true">
     <div id="deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelDivId">
     <form id="deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelForm">
          <a4j:commandButton value="a4j:commandButton"
               action="#{contractDeletor.doJob}"
               oncomplete="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelId');"
               reRender="deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelDivId" /></form>
     </div>
</rich:modalPanel>

When I click on the command a post back is performed whitout executing the action ??

3) the related action (simplified):

@Name("contractDeletor")
public class ContractDeletor extends BaseListAnimator implements
          Serializable {

     private static final long serialVersionUID = -1465053605583307302L;

     public String prepareJob() {
          log.info("Prepare the job");
          
          return null;
     }
     
     public String doJob() {
          log.info("Do the job");
          
          return null;
     }
} 

I also tried to put the modal within the same page of the command that show it but it has the same effect.
I probably miss something but I can figure it out.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Nicolas,

Did You try to use a4j:form instead form?

<rich:modalPanel id="deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelId" autosized="true">
  <div id="deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelDivId">
    <a4j:form id="deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelForm">
      <a4j:commandButton value="a4j:commandButton" action="#{contractDeletor.doJob}"
                oncomplete="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelId');"
                reRender="deleteContractsConfirmModalPanelDivId" />
    </a4j:form>
  </div>
</rich:modalPanel>

Hi Tamas,

I did the trick.
Actually your suggestion make me realized that I wrote <form>
instead of <h:form>.
It doesn't work with <form> but it does with <h:form> and also with <a4j:form>.

Many thanks for your help.
