commandbutton inside modalPanel not calling setter method

fluxor Apr 19, 2011 4:07 PM

I am having issues with the following code.

modal panel has one text box which has suggestion box attached to it. There is an add button which adds the value to a list in backing bean. All this code is inside a jsp which is included in another jsp surrounded by a4j:form.

When the add button is clicked it won't call the setter method for suggestionBoxFacilityName. all this code works as expected outside a modalpanel. Also it starts calling the setter method when i add 'onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('facilitySelectionModal')"' to the add button.

Can anyone help me with this issue? I am using richfaces 3.3.3 final version.

<rich:modalPanel height="400" id="facilitySelectionModal" width="600" autosized="true" >
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText id="fsHeader" value="#{msgs.msg_selectMultipleFacilities}" />
</f:facet>

<h:panelGrid cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="fsErrorMessage" width="100%">
<h:outputText styleClass="standard_error_text" value="#{SEARCH.messages}" />
</h:panelGrid>

<h:panelGrid id="fsMainPanel" rowClasses="top, top, bottom" style="height: 360px;" width="100%" >
<t:panelGrid align="left" columns="4" style="padding-bottom: 5px;">
   <h:outputLabel for="facilityInput" styleClass="standard_text" value="#{msgs.label_facilityName}" />
   <a4j:region>
    <h:inputText id="facilityInput" binding="#{SEARCH.testValue}" style="width: 300px;" styleClass="standard_input" value="#{SEARCH.suggestionBoxFacilityName}"/>

    <rich:suggestionbox ajaxSingle="true" border="1" height="100" id="facilitySuggestion" for="facilityInput" minChars="1" selfRendered="true"
     shadowOpacity="4" shadowDepth="4" suggestionAction="#{SEARCH.autoComplete}" var="result" width="300" fetchValue="#{result.orgName}">
     <rich:column>
      <h:outputText id="facilityNmTxt" value="#{result.orgName}" />
     </rich:column>

    </rich:suggestionbox>
    <rich:spacer width="5" />
    <a4j:commandButton action="#{SEARCH.addFacilitySelection}" styleClass="standard_button_medium" value="#{msgs.button_add2}"
     reRender="fsMainPanel, fsErrorMessage" />
   </a4j:region>

</t:panelGrid>

<t:panelGrid align="center" columns="2" style="padding-bottom: 5px;">
      <a4j:commandButton action="#{SEARCH.clearFacilitySelection}" onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('facilitySelectionModal')" reRender="distributorExecutionSearchForm, facilitySelectionModal" styleClass="standard_button_large" value="#{msgs.button_clearSel}" />
   <a4j:commandButton action="#{SEARCH.closeModal}" onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('facilitySelectionModal')" reRender="distributorExecutionSearchForm, facilitySelectionModal" styleClass="standard_button_medium" value="#{msgs.button_ok}" />
</t:panelGrid>
</h:panelGrid>
</rich:modalPanel>

You need not further search. commandLink also has that problem.
It also can't set a value in the backed bean.
I use it in 'dataTable'.

A command how

<a4j:commandLink render=............>
     <a4j:param value="#{it.index}" assignTo="#{datasManager.currentInfoIndex}" />
     <a4j:actionListener binding="#{datasDeManager}" />
</a4j:commandLink>

or

<a4j:commandLink render=".....................>
     <a4j:param value="#{it.index}" assignTo="#{datasManager.currentInfoIndex}" />
      <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{datasManager.currentInfoIndex}" value="#{it.index}" />
</a4j:commandLink>

are in the moment completly useless.No values can be set in any bean.
This is not a good solution, for a production environment, i think.
(For little companies a desaster, if they make a migration to richfaces 4.)

Now i can set my values directly with a call to #{datasManager.setCurrentInfoIndex(it.index)} and it works,
but that is not what i want, i will it set over an action/link that invokes the settings.
I think i go back to the former version, that works.

fluxor - in your case you missing base form requirement. if want to use form outside the modal panel - add domElementAttachment attribute set to form or parent.

geschtli - your case not realted to his one at all.
are in the moment completly useless.No values can be set in any bean.
http://richfaces-showcase.appspot.com/richfaces/component-sample.jsf?demo=param&skin=blueSky and similar examples from the users who migrating now works fine.
http://richfaces-showcase.appspot.com/richfaces/component-sample.jsf?demo=dataTable&sample=dataTableEdit&skin=blueSky - one more sample.

so I think you should investigate your code more carefully and provide more info in separate thread if will nto be able to solve.
