rich:inplaceInput not calling change listener when pressing RET (showControls = true, saveOnBlur = false)

[kwutzke]

Hello,

I have the following inplace input:

{code:xml}  <rich:inplaceInput value="#{treeNode.name}"
                     editEvent="dblclick"
                     showControls="true"
                     saveOnBlur="false"
                     valueChangeListener="#{nodeManager.updateNodeName}" />{code}

When pressing RETURN the component shows the new, changed text, but the change listener is never called. I always have to explicitly click the green accept button to do so.

The thing is, that I want a blur to discard any changes, but interpret pressing RETURN as an accept. How can I achieve this?

Is this a bug? Is the combination of showControls = true + saveOnBlur = false incompatible?

Doesn't anybody know?

The problem is that @valueChangeListener is called only when treeNode.setName() is being invoked. When @valueChangeListener is set, the treeNode.setName() invocation is replaceed by invocation of @valueChangeListener and then treeNode.setName().

In your code example the set method isn't invoked (the whole interaction is done on the client side). You need to put a4j:ajax inside your rich:inplaceInput:

<rich:inplaceInput value="#{treeNode.name}"
                   editEvent="dblclick"
                   showControls="true"
                   saveOnBlur="false"
                   valueChangeListener="#{nodeManager.updateNodeName}">
    <a4j:ajax event="change" />
</rich:inplaceInput>

Thanks, this works with a plain <f:ajax /> already.
