    ui:component | a4j:commandButton action returning null

    scottaii

      Hello there,

      Im having a problem creating my own button component. I have searched high and lo but to no avail.

      What im trying to do

      I am trying to create my own button tag by putting it into a component.
      This button must include:

      Enable = true/false
      enabledImage=enabled.png
      disabledImage=disabled.png
      enabledToolTip="MessageBundle.enabledToolTip"
      disabledToolTip="MessageBundle.disabledToolTip"

      These are the basic funtions that the button should have. The button should also have the normal a4j:commandbutton attributes.

      Whats wrong?

      I am having problems with the action attribute. When i call a simple method to a Bean, the method is called (hits the breakpoint), but i get an error-


      /components/ButtonComponent.xhtml @16,40 action="#{actionbutton}": Identity 'actionbutton' was null and was unable to invoke


      This is my button component:

      <ui:component xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
       xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
       xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
       xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
       xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
       xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
       xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j">
      
       <a4j:commandButton id="#{id}"
       rendered="#{enable}"
       styleClass="#{styleClass}"
       action="#{actionbutton}"
       oncomplete="#{oncomplete}"
       reRender="#{reRender}"
       ajaxSingle="#{ajaxSingle}"
       image="#{enabledImage}">
      
       <rich:toolTip value="#{enabledToolTip}"/>
       </a4j:commandButton>
      
       <h:graphicImage id="#{id}Disabled"
       rendered="#{!enable}"
       styleClass="#{styleClassDis}"
       style="#{styleDis}"
       value="#{disabledImage}">
      
       <rich:toolTip value="#{disabledToolTip}"/>
       </h:graphicImage>
      
      
      
      </ui:component>
      


      This is how my component looks in the XML:
      ................
      <cog:button id="deleteuserbutton"
       enable="#{((userAdmin.hasPermission(userAdmin.adminRole)) and (userAdmin.selectedUsersList.size() > 0))}"
      enabledImage="/img/user_delete.png"
      disabledImage="/img/disabled/user_delete.png"
      enabledToolTip="This toolTip is Enabled"
      disabledToolTip="This toolTip is disabled"
      reRender="userConfirmDeleteContainer,userRejectDeleteContainer"
      oncomplete="displayDialog('#userConfirmDelete');displayDialog('#userRejectDelete');"
      actionbutton="#{userAdmin.confirmDeleteUsers()}"
      ajaxSingle="true"
      styleClass="roleToolBarButton"
      styleClassDis="roleToolBarButton">
      
      </cog:button>
      


      I have included the reRender e.c.t just so you can see the type of thing i am trying to achive.

      Has anybody tryed anything like this before?
