Alternative for Richfaces.hideModalPanel('id')

[robinho]

Hey everyone,

I am migrating my application from RF 3.3.2 to RF 4.2.3 right now and i've been wondering if there is a alternative for the Richfaces.hideModalPanel() function.

My use case is a popupPanel that gets closed by a commandButton when no errors have occured. This is my Button.

<a4j:commandButton value="#{msg.action_save}" type="submit"

                                action="#{myBean.save}"

                                id="saveButton"

                                oncomplete="#{facesContext.maximumSeverity != 'Error' ? 'Richfaces.hideModalPanel(\'savePanel\');':'return 0;'}" />

So the problem is, in this construction where i check for Errors I can not use the #{rich:component('savePanel')}.hide() method

and the Richfaces.hideModalPanel is no longer available in RF4

Is there a good alternative for this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

if you're not closing the panel when there are errors, why not get rid of the ternary operator?

oncomplete="if(#{facesContext.maximumSeverity != 'Error'})#{rich:component('savePanel'}}.hide();"

this might also work:

data="#{facesContext.maximumSeverity}" oncomplete="if(event.data != 'Error')#{rich:component('savePanel'}}.hide();"

Or you can do it like this:

oncomplete="#{facesContext.maximumSeverity != 'Error'} ? #{rich:component('savePanel'}}.hide(); : return 0"

And if you really want to use rich:component inside the EL expression you can (but I wouldn't do that):

oncomplete="#{facesContext.maximumSeverity != 'Error' ? rich:component('savePanel').concat('.hide()'):'return 0;'}"
