a4j:ajax and cancel button problem

[martam]

Hi,

I have a problem with cancel button inside the edition popup. My popup looks like this:

<rich:popupPanel header="EDITION" id="editionPopup" domElementAttachment="form" autosized="true">
     <h:panelGrid columns="2" id="editGrid">
          <h:outputText value="Name" />
          <h:inputTextarea value="#{editedElement.name}" rows="2" cols="50">
               <a4j:ajax event="blur"/>
          </h:inputTextarea>
     </h:panelGrid>

     <a4j:commandButton value="Cancel" onclick="#{rich:component('editionPopup')}.hide(); return false;" />
</rich:popupPanel>

Everything worked fine but when I added  <a4j:ajax event="blur"/> (I need this to workaround a bug described here: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12301, I use rich:autocomplete and rich:calendar in my form, but I've skipped them for clearness).

And now the cancel button doesn't work correct: when I edit something and then click cancel, the setter method is invoked, so when I open edition of this object once more, I see modificated values of fields.

What should I change to get the cancel button working? Or maybe there's another workaround for https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12301)?

the default value of a4j:ajax attribute execute is @this so it's right that a value is set

I would execute and/or render the only components which are supossed to be executed/rendered

Thank you! Of course execute="@this" is not what I need here. I still didn't get both cancel and this workaround for validation working, but now at least understand what's happening.
