a4j:status with rich:select problem (Richfaces 4.5.0)

[wish79]

Hello Professionals,

I have just upgrade to Richfaces 4.5.0 ,My environment :

- Richfaces 4.5

- java 1.7.0.60

- WildFly Server 8.2 Final (JSF 2.2.8)

i have a sample screen :

<h:form id="testForm">

  <rich:select>

  <a4j:ajax event="selectitem" execute="@this" />

  </rich:select>

  <a4j:status onstart="alert('1')"         onstop="alert('2')" />

  </h:form>

as you see the screen contains an empty select and event that let the a4j:status fire .

- the problem is the onstart="alert('1')"  fire but the system hang after that and onstop="alert('2')"  dose not fire .

- this happen just with rich:select when the values list is empty .

to avoid this problem i have to add an empty <f:selectitem/> inside <rich:select/> , again the a4j:status work correct with all richfaces component expect this case with rich:select

Hi,

you're the second one with this "problem". I don't understand the purpose of an empty select; if the user sees a select he'll want to click it and when nothing shows he will think it's broken. Isn't it better just to hide or disable it and tell the user that the list is empty?

Thanks for your participation, but my case should see the empty list.
