    can't display the result of a <a4j:commandButton> action in RF 4.2.2

    pepelara

      Hi,

       

      I have developed a richfaces xhtml file managed by its corresponding bean.

      In the first action I can display a selected field type of List of an entity.

       

      In the second action I need to select one of the items in the list. This list

      is displayed in a <rich:dataTable> as follows,

       

      <rich:dataTable var="cat" value="#{familiaAgent.categorias}">
         <rich:column>
            <f:facet name="header">Nombre</f:facet>
            <h:outputText value="#{cat.nombre}" />
         </rich:column>
         <rich:column>
            <f:facet name="header">Seleccionar</f:facet>
            <a4j:commandButton value="Seleccionar" render="ctg" action="#{familiaAgent.selectCategoria}">
               <a4j:param name="sId" value="1" assignTo="#{familiaAgent.sId}" noEscape="true" />
               <a4j:param name="cId" value="#{cat.id}" assignTo="#{familiaAgent.id}" noEscape="true" />
            </a4j:commandButton>                                                                            
         </rich:column>
      </rich:dataTable>
      

       

      The second action is the one executed by the second column.

       

      But it does not do what I spect, in fact it does nothing.

       

      Here is the output (render="ctg")

       

      <h:panelGrid id="editPane" rendered="#{familiaAgent.categoriaSelected eq true}">
         <rich:panel id="ctg">
            <h:outputText value="ID: #{familiaAgent.categoria.id}" />
            <h:outputText value="Nombre: #{familiaAgent.categoria.nombre}" />                                                                         
         </rich:panel>
      </h:panelGrid>
      

       

       

      And here is the bean,

       

      @RequestScoped
      @Named("familiaAgent")
      public class FamiliaAgent {
      
          @Inject

              // NOTE get a fresh reference that's managed by the extended persistence context
              try {
                  if(sId != null) {
                      Integer iId = Integer.valueOf(sId);
                      familia = familiaDAO.buscarPorId(iId);
                      if (familia != null) {
                          categorias = familia.getCategorias();
                          familiaSelected = true;
                          categoriasSelected = true;
                      }
                  }
              } catch(Exception ex) {
                  familiaSelected = false;
                  categoriasSelected = false;
              }
          }
      
          public void selectCategoria() {
              // NOTE get a fresh reference that's managed by the extended persistence context
              try {
                  if(sId != null) {
                      Integer iId = Integer.valueOf(sId);
                      familia = familiaDAO.buscarPorId(iId);
                      if (familia != null) {
                          categorias = familia.getCategorias();
                          if(id != null) {
                              categoria = categorias.get(id);
                          }
                          familiaSelected = true;
                          categoriaSelected = true;
                      }
                  }
              } catch(Exception ex) {
                  familiaSelected = false;
                  categoriaSelected = false;
              }
          }
      
          public void cancel() {
              categoria = null;
              categorias = null;
              familia = null;
              familiaSelected = false;
              categoriasSelected = false;
              categoriaSelected = false;
          }
      
          public Familia getFamilia() {
              return familia;
          }
      
          public void setFamilia(final Familia familia) {
              this.familia = familia;
          }
      
          public List<Categoria> getCategorias() {
              return categorias;
          }
      
          public void setCategorias(final List<Categoria> categorias) {
              this.categorias = categorias;
          }
      
          public Categoria getCategoria() {
              return categoria;
          }
      
          public void setCategoria(final Categoria categoria) {
              this.categoria = categoria;
          }
      
          public boolean isFamiliaSelected() {
              return familiaSelected;
          }
      
          public boolean isCategoriasSelected() {
              return categoriasSelected;
          }
      
          public boolean isCategoriaSelected() {
              return categoriaSelected;
          }
      
          public void setId(final Integer id) {
              this.id = id;
          }
      
          public Integer getId() {
              return id;
          }
      
          public void setsId(final String sId) {
              this.sId = sId;
          }
      
          public String getsId() {
              return sId;
          }
      }
      

       

      I am not sure if it is due the commandButton is in the table or what else

      but it does not work.

       

      Both the table and the displayed result are all enclosed in the same form.

       

      Thanks in advance,

       

      Regards,

      Jose

            Thanks a lot Brendan.

             

            I had a wrong code in the bean and the xhtml file.

             

            On the other hand I am really appreciated for your help.

            Yes, the link explain clearly the usage of a commandButton and a commandLink.

             

            So I did copy the code in the showcase example and now it works with a little issue.

            When the table is displayed (now I use buttons in it) for the first time I need to click twice

            to get the response, The next times just one click is enough.

             

            I will debug the web app.

             

            Let me share my code,
