<h:commandButton> onComplete

[manuel.moroni]

hello,

i'm uploading a file using the component <h:commandButton> and everything it's fine.

now i have the need to open a window at the end of the method called by button.

i browse the internet but it seems that che attribute onComplete it's present only for the component <a4j:commandButton>.

how can i solve the problem?

thanks

h:commandButton doesn't do ajax itself.  You have to embed an f:ajax tag to get it to do so.  f:ajax then has the onevent attribute [1] to which you can attach a listener.  Check the "status" attribute of the onevent handler's parameter; it will be "complete" for the event you are looking for.  See John Yeary's blog for more details [2].

thanks for the reply.

unfortunately the application it's based on jsf 1.2.

here what i'd like to accomplish:

<h:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{sessionContainer.findSession.marcature.processMyFile}" oncomplete="window.open(-------);"/>

since the button loads a file i cannot use <a4j:commandbutton>

i tried this but it seems wrong:

<h:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{sessionContainer.findSession.marcature.processMyFile}" >

  <a4j:support event="oncomplete" oncomplete="window.open(.........)" />

  </h:commandButton>

What version of RichFaces are you using?

Nest the a4j:support tag in your commandButton:

<h:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{s..........}" image="../../static/images/import-templ.jpg" >

  <a4j:support event="oncomplete" oncomplete="window.open('#{---}---------)" />

</h:commandButton>

but unfortunately it seems that the window.open never fire. the button should open a popup once the action of the <h:commandoButton> it's completed.

any suggestion?
