s:decorate: problem with correct rerendering
The task which I have to do is the following:
On a form where you can enter zip/city (one field) and choose country (another field), there shall be a suggestionBox for the zip/city field, but only when the country is switzerland, because for this country I have data available through a suggestion service.
So I use a a4j:support on the country selection field where I rerender the s:decorate field containing the zip/city field.
The effect is that the rendering condition of the suggestionbox (s:fragment) will be evaluated (correct), but the zip/city field will also be rerender, which I don't want. So I tried to rerender only the s:fragment part, but then, the condition is not evaluated correctly.
How can I do it to not rerender the zip/city field and get the rendering condition of the suggestionBox still correct?
Below is my code:
<a4j:outputPanel id="locationPlzNameCountry" layout="block">
<s:decorate id="locationPlzName" template="/layout/forms_edits.xhtml">
<ui:define name="label">#{messages['myaccount.personal.codePlace']}</ui:define>
<ui:define name="control">
<h:inputText id="zipCity" value="#{personalBean.zipCity}"
required="false" />
<s:fragment id="locationPlzNameSuggest"
rendered="#{personalBean.curriculumVitae.userAccount.address.country.key == 'switzerland' || personalBean.curriculumVitae.userAccount.address.country.key == 'liechtenstein'}">
<rich:suggestionbox id="zipCitySuggestionBox" height="300"
width="227" var="_suggest"
suggestionAction="#{locationSuggestionBean.suggestZipCity}"
nothingLabel="#{messages['jobsearch.search.city.noresult']}"
for="zipCity" minChars="2" limitToList="true">
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{_suggest}" />
</h:column>
</rich:suggestionbox>
</s:fragment>
</ui:define>
</s:decorate>
<s:decorate template="/layout/forms_edits.xhtml">
<ui:define name="label">#{messages['myaccount.personal.land']}<b
class="grey">*</b>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="control">
<h:selectOneMenu required="true"
requiredMessage="#{messages['myaccount.curriculum.personal.country.required']}"
value="#{personalBean.curriculumVitae.userAccount.address.country}">
<s:selectItems value="#{myAccountBean.countryList}" var="country"
label="#{countryConverter.label(country)}"
noSelectionLabel="#{messages['myaccount.curriculum.no_selection']}" />
<f:converter converterId="countryConverter" />
<a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="locationPlzNameCountry"
limitToList="true" ajaxSingle="true" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
</ui:define>
</s:decorate>
</a4j:outputPanel>Here the forms_edit.xhtml template:
<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">
<div class="formEntry">
<s:label id="inputLabel">
<ui:insert name="label" />
</s:label>
<s:span styleClass="#{invalid ? 'errors' : ''}" id="input">
<s:validateAll>
<ui:insert name="control"/>
</s:validateAll>
</s:span>
<s:span rendered="#{invalid}" styleClass="errors" id="inputError">
<br/>
<s:message styleClass="errorMessage"/>
</s:span>
</div>
</ui:composition>Any help will be greatly appreciated!
