RF 4.2.2 ajax misunderstanding?

[lysy78]

Hello,

I have simple code snippet, shown below:

<a4j:outputPanel id="onBlur2">

     <h:panelGroup rendered="#{manager.flag}">

          <h:form>

               <h:inputText value="#{container.name}">

                    <a4j:ajax event="blur" render="out2"/>

               </h:inputText>

               <h:outputText value="#{container.name}" id="out2" />

          </h:form>

     </h:panelGroup>

</a4j:outputPanel>

Input field is rendered when manager.flag is set ot true.

The problem with this code appears when:

1. The flag is false at the begining and then it is changed to true (input text field is rendered)

2. I leave input text field for the first time

IMHO output text should be rendered (blur event). But nothing happens when I leave field for the first time. When I do this for the second time  and so on, everything works fine.

So question is: what is going on when input text loses focus for the first time?

thanks in advance

Hubert

I'm pretty sure you're hitting this bug:

http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-1718

http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES_SPEC_PUBLIC-1024

Just make the form enclose the a4j:outputPanel and it works as expected. In fact you would probably just replace

the a4j:outputPanel with h:form id="onBlur2".

Hi Brendan,

of course you are right. Thank you very much for your help.

It's a pity that my simple code does not work. I just wanted to create page when i put many elements as this one:

<a4j:outputPanel id="onBlur2">

     <h:panelGroup rendered="#{manager.flag}">

        <ui:include src="/pages/test/form.xhtml" />

     </h:panelGroup>

</a4j:outputPanel>

and forms in separate files. This would be easy to read i think. But now I have to abandon this approach.

And once again thanks.

Cheers,

Hubert
