<rich:inputNumberSpinner> and Action Method of a CommandButt

kphilipp Dec 5, 2008 2:04 PM

I've a dialog that consists of several simple inputText elements and an inputNumberSpinner element rendered as follows (a lttle bit simplified for the forum):

<rich:modalPanel id="spSubscriberPanel" height="300" width="400" zindex="9999" style="overflow: auto;">
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="Enter FLN" />
 </f:facet>
 <f:facet name="controls" />
 <a4j:form>
 <a4j:include viewId="/pages/serviceProvider/addFixedlinenumbers.xhtml" />
 </a4j:form>
 </rich:modalPanel>

and

<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
 xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
 xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
 xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">

 <h:panelGrid columns="2">
 <h:outputLabel for="localAreaCode" value="Local AreaCode:" />
 <h:inputText id="localAreaCode" value="#{sps.fln.localAreaCode}" />
 <h:outputLabel for="fixedLineNumber" value="Fixed Line Number:" />
 <h:inputText id="fixedLineNumber" value="#{sps.fln.fixedLineNumber}" />
 <h:outputLabel for="statusId" value="Status Id" />
 <rich:inputNumberSpinner id="statusId" minValue="1" maxValue="10" step="1" value="#{sps.fln.statusId}" />
 </h:panelGrid>
 <a4j:commandButton value="Close" reRender="sp" action="#{sps.addFLN}">
 <rich:componentControl for="spSubscriberPanel" event="onclick" operation="hide" />
 </a4j:commandButton>
 <a4j:commandButton value="Cancel" action="#{sps.cancelSubscriberData}">
 <rich:componentControl for="spSubscriberPanel" event="onclick" operation="hide" />
 </a4j:commandButton>

</ui:composition>

I figured out that the action method sps.addFLN (attached to the commanButton "Close") is only performed if the user has changed the value of the input field represented by the rich:inputNumberSpinner element.

Is it possible to change this behaviour? That is, the action method sps.addFLN shall be always performed, independent of the fact that the user has NOT changed the value of rich:inputNumberSpinner field. I set aside the question, whether it makes sense (for now).

I had a similar case: the action method does not seams to be launched if the
element was not rendered in the initial page load.

I means that I cannot launch AJAX request from element that were rendered="false" at first. I cannot use a4j:include nether.

Hi,

Can you please check if there are any validation errors (add rich:messages to the page and check if there are any)?

I'm so sorry. I made two mistakes. :(

First of all the rich:inputNumberSpinner element was initialized with the value 0 but the min value is specified as 1.

Then I still used the h:messages element instead the rich:messages element. Therefore no error message was displayed.

Thanks.
