Strange problem with rich:modalPanel not updating h:inputText

[drnicola]

Hello,

I have developed an xhtml page, with a rich:dataTable where each row includes, among other fields, an h:inputText and an a4j:commandButton. When the user presses the button, a rich:modalPanel is populated where the user can do some actions affecting the rich:dataTable data of the same row where the inputText and the button exist.

The strange behaviour occurs when I close the modal panel, and the h:inputText does not reflect the updated data. What is even more strange is that if I replace the h:inputText with a h:outputText it works fine!

I have also printed the list data the rich:dataTable carries and it seems that the bean has the correct (updated) data.

Could someone help me with this, because I have done many experiments trying to fix this, but no luck at all..

If you need any code or snapshots to clarify things please let me know.

Many thanks!

Try adding a4j:region with a4j:outputPanel ane then add the code below it.

Thanks for your answer.

I included my rich:datatable inside a <a4j:region>

<a4j:region>

                                                                                  <a4j:outputPanel>

block but no luck. I also tried to replace all h:panelgrid in my xhtml page with

<a4j:region>

                                                                                  <a4j:outputPanel>

but the problem persists.

Any other ideas? What is really strange is the fact that if I replace h:inputText with h:outputText it works fine.. I was thinking that maybe rich:modalPanel is messing around with the JSF lifecycle and maybe this affects refreshing h:inputText.

Does anyone know any alternatives to rich:modalPanel? I 'm using jsf1.2 and richfaces 3.2.

Thank you.

Please share some code i will check it....Mean time try reRender the id of the component(textbox)

or

[drnicola]

I can't reRender the h:inputText itself because it's inside the rich:dataTable and the id is generated. However I'm rerendering the h:panelGrid that contains the rich:dataTable which does the job.

This is the rich:column inside the rich:datatable:

<rich:column>

                                                                                  <f:facet name="header">

                                                                                    <h:outputText value="Έγκριση" /> 

                                                                                  </f:facet>

                                                                                  <h:panelGrid columns="2" border="0" cellspacing="2" width="100%" styleClass="panelGrid-align">

                                                                          <h:panelGrid width="50px" columns="2" border="1" rules="cols" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"

                                                                                    columnClasses="leftCol,rightCol">  

                                                                                    <h:inputText value="#{orderList.approved}" styleClass="spinnerLabel"/>

                                                                                    <h:panelGrid width="100%" columns="1" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" columnClasses="innerCol">

                                                                                              <a4j:commandButton styleClass="spinnerBtnUp" action="#{serveOrders_bean.spinnerUp}" reRender="servingPanel"

                                                                                                        disabled="#{orderList.availableCounter == 0}">

                                                                                                        <a4j:actionparam name="spinnerUp" assignTo="#{serveOrders_bean.spinnerIdUp}" value="#{orderList.id}"/>

                                                                                              </a4j:commandButton>                                                                          

                                                                                        <a4j:commandButton styleClass="spinnerBtnDown" action="#{serveOrders_bean.spinnerDown}"

                                                                                                  reRender="servingPanel">

                                                                                                  <a4j:actionparam name="spinnerDown" assignTo="#{serveOrders_bean.spinnerIdDown}" value="#{orderList.id}"/>

                                                                                        </a4j:commandButton>

                                                                                    </h:panelGrid>

                                                                          </h:panelGrid>

                                                                          <a4j:commandButton id="editAssignements" styleClass="editAssignementsImg" disabled="#{orderList.availableCounter == 0}" 

                                                                                    oncomplete="Richfaces.showModalPanel('editAssignmentsPanel');"          reRender="editAssignmentsPanel">

                                                                                    <a4j:actionparam name="editOrderAssignment" assignTo="#{serveOrders_bean.orderIdEdited}" value="#{orderList.id}"/>                                                                          

                                                                              <rich:toolTip followMouse="true" direction="top-right" showDelay="300" styleClass="tooltip_custom">

                                                                                                    <span  style="white-space:nowrap">

                                                                                       Επεξεργασία Χρεώσεων

                                                                                     </span>

                                                                                 </rich:toolTip>

                                                                          </a4j:commandButton>

                                                                          </h:panelGrid>

                                                                      </rich:column>

and this is the bean method that is called when I close the modal panel:

public void closeModalPanel(){

Session session = SessionFactoryUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();

              Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();

                    for (Order o: orders){

                        if (o.getId() == popupOrder.getId()){

                                  o.setApproved(popupOrder.getApproved());    

                                  determineOrderStatus(o);

                                  session.saveOrUpdate(o);

                                  break;

                        }

                    }

                    tx.commit();

                    submitSearch();

                    for (Order o: orders){

                              if (o.getId() == popupOrder.getId()){

                                        o.setSelected(true);

                                        break;

                              }

                    }
}
