Good afternoon, dear RF gurus and RF users!

I've faced the same problem, BUT I did some work to give to developers a lot of information about it. Please, check newly created JIRA, linked to RF-3796.

Here it is: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4164

Hope, it helps.

Thank you in advance!

Good afternoon,

Thank you very much for your effort as I am sure that it will benefit the community at large.

I am truly hoping that the RichFaces team can spend some time on addressing these issues with such an integral component of the RichFaces framework.

Hello!

we have tested

* rich:columns within rich:scrollableDataTable
* for Firefox 3.0.1 and
* 3.2.2 RC 4

and still see an endless loop of requests to
the server when the table is scrolled.

For 3.2.2 RC4 and Safari 3.1.2 (525.21) the table still does not scroll
properly, just small numbers of lines can updated "on one scrolling".

See the observation B) in the post from Jul 22, 2008 10:49
within this thread.

The following issue has been created for this bug.

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4431

It would be great if a fix for this could make it into
3.2.2 GA.

The rich:scrollableDataTable is an industry leading component
and our team would really appreciate it when it works correctly
under the main browsers!

Greetings

Andreas

Any good news about this bug?

I've noticed that the scrollableDataTable is reRendered well if it's reRendered only BY ITSELF.
But If it's in an a4j:outputPanel and in h:form, and we reRender whole outputPanel - then the header disappears and I can't make any selection in the table.

My another concrete example(hope it helps to understand the reason):

The table header disappears after I press this menu Item:

<rich:contextMenu attached="false" id="personnelDataTable_Menu" disableDefaultMenu="false" submitMode="ajax"> <rich:menuItem value="#{muiBundle.menuDelete}" action="#{menuMan.deleteFakePersonnel}" reRender="personnelDataTableForm_OutputPanel"/>
</rich:contextMenu>

If you need it, my SDT is here:

<a4j:outputPanel id="personnelDataTableForm_OutputPanel">
 <h:form id="personnelDataTable_Form">

 <rich:scrollableDataTable id="personnelDataTable" rowKeyVar="rkv" binding="#{personnelSDTableMan.sdTable}" rows="0"
 selection="#{personnelSDTableMan.scrollableDataTableSelection}" onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#B5CEFD'"
 onRowMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#{org.richfaces.SKIN.tableBackgroundColor}'" rowClasses="sdt_row1,sdt_row2"
 selectedClass="sdt_row_selected" activeClass="sdt_row_active" width="100%" height="400px" columnClasses="sdt_col" frozenColCount="1"
 value="#{amBean.employeeListMan.personnelEmployees}" var="employee" sortMode="single" style="margin:0px;padding-top:10px;">

...

</rich:scrollableDataTable>

Well... I've waited too long and wanted to simply change scrollable data table to extended data table, but no way, there is THE SAME BUG and the table just disappears after re-rendering!

I thought that the bug is something ajax-fundamental, that's why I've created a standalone TEST PROJECT which fully demonstrates this bug. I've spent some time on it and I really believe that it helps you to fix the bug, because now it really slows the development process.

I've attached the project to JIRA (https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4164)


P.S.: A big request: please, test it and tell here if you could reproduce this bug after running my application and if there is any ways to fix it.

Thank you VERY VERY MUCH!

Hello Yuri,

you posted the version that you have used in the bugreport

v.3.2.2-SNAPSHOT SVN $Revision: 8947 $ $Date: 2008-06-07 08:39:49 -0400 (Sat, 07 Jun 2008) $

No, Andreas. I thought that the bug still can't be reproduced, even in 3.2.2, that's why I made a test project for it.

But I'll just try it with 3.3.0 snapshot. I'll write here about the results(in 30 minutes).

Just tried. The same behavior in 3.3.0 snapshot (3.3.0-20081001.055735-23).

Is this problem solved or is there any workaround? I think this is a major feature of Richfaces. Please let me know as we are also facing the same issue with AJAX rendering. If needed I can provide the code also. My environment RF 3.2.2, JSF RI 1.2, Facelets 1.4, Spring web flow 2,, IBM RAD 7, WAS 6.1.

soubhratra, JIRA issue was switched to blocker a week ago and I've already seen little progress on it. I think people from RichFaces are currently working on it. We just need to wait patiently.

Thanks for your prompt response. I guess even though RF team started working on the issue, the fix will be part of the next release only i.e. 3.3.0. I am afraid as I can not wait for that. If there is a workaround that I can use immediately then its good for me else I have to move away from using SDT and have to go for a manual html table with selectable row implementation.

Thanks again for your reply.
