RF 4.5.14 action always submits page, hence oncomplete not invoked

kamlesh.dalwadi Apr 28, 2016 10:07 AM

I am migrating RF 3.3 to RF 4.5.14.

I am using <a4j:commandButton> action to call a bean method, and oncomplete I want my Java Script method to be called.

As I observed "action" always submits page and the page is always refreshed.

Hence, I do not see my Java Script function getting called or not. I have tried putting alert().

This behavior is observed on a4j:commandButton, a4j:commandLink, a4j:jsFunction and almost all tags where "action" or "actionListener" attribute are available.

Is there a way in RF 4.5.14 to call an "action" without submitting whole page/form and without refreshing the page?

Any updates michpetrov, ilya_shaikovsky ?
Putting it in <h:form> and <a4j:region> also did not work.
The "action" anyhow submits the whole page.

Any errors? CommandButton is set to do an ajax request when it's clicked (and prevent default action), if it's submitting the whole page I assume there's a problem with resources.

Thank you for your response michpetrov.
It is not giving any error.
I am trying to resolve.
Here are my resources I am using.

richfaces-a4j-4.5.14.Final.jar
richfaces-core-4.5.14.Final.jar
richfaces-page-fragments-4.5.14.Final.jar
richfaces-rich-4.5.14.Final.jar

Server APIs:
jboss-jsf-api_2.1_spec-2.1.28.Final-redhat-1.jar
jsf-impl-2.1.28.redhat-3.jar

Can you please suggest what could be wrong?

I meant resources on the page (mainly JavaScript), have you checked the browser console?

My main page loads lot many .js files including various versions of JQuery and LAB.js.
I am checking removing them one by one.
Thanks for your time michpetrov.
I will update you the results.

You are missing h:head, it is necessary in JSF 2 for managing resources. Without that, the page loads no resources (the rendered <head> is empty), you should also have seen something like - Uncaught ReferenceError: RichFaces is not defined

Hi,

Thanks michpetrov it worked fine.

Actual issue was with faces-config.xml file navigation rule
as we were redirecting to the same page, so each request the page was getting reloaded due to phase listener and faces-config navigation rule.
now we removed that navigation rule and all attribute of the <a4j: working fine.

Thanks for your quick guidance.!

Thanks michpetrov, dhamma4u,

I have corrected my navigation rule in faces-config.xml and it worked.
I was redirecting my page to itself every time.

Here is my wrong code:
<navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>/main.xhtml</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>
            <if>#{identity.isLoggedin()}</if>
            <to-view-id>/main.xhtml</to-view-id>
            <redirect />
        </navigation-case>

        <navigation-case>
            <if>#{!identity.isLoggedin()}</if>
            <to-view-id>/login.xhtml</to-view-id>
            <redirect />
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>

Corrected Code:
<navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>/login.xhtml</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
        <if>#{!identity.isLoggedin()}</if>
        <to-view-id>/login.xhtml</to-view-id>
        <redirect />
    </navigation-case>
    <navigation-case>
        <if>#{identity.isLoggedin()}</if>
        <to-view-id>/main.xhtml</to-view-id>
        <redirect />
    </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

Michal your suggestions were also useful.
Thanks everyone for your time.
