Hello,

I'm stuck on the issue here (NO NEED TO READ IT ALL, just notice that I have two columns in a table, the first one is filtered by an inputText):

https://community.jboss.org/thread/201628

Here's the current code:

{code:xml}
  <rich:dataTable value="#{testBean.filteredDocumentGroups}"
                  var="dg"
                  rows="4"
                  footerClass="center"
                  id="repo-tdoc-datatable">
    <f:facet name="header">
      <rich:columnGroup>
        <rich:column>
          <h:panelGrid columns="1" style="width: 100%;">
            <h:outputText value="Title" />
            <h:inputText value="#{testBean.searchString}"
                         style="width: 70px;"
                         id="repo-tdoc-search-input">
              <a4j:ajax execute="@this" render="repo-tdoc-datatable repo-tdoc-datascroller" event="keyup" oncomplete="rich:component(‘repo-tdoc-search-input’).focus();" />
            </h:inputText>
          </h:panelGrid>
        </rich:column>
        <rich:column><h:outputText value="File Name" /></rich:column>
      </rich:columnGroup>
    </f:facet>
    <rich:collapsibleSubTable value="#{dg.documents}"
                              var="doc"
                              rowKeyVar="rowNbr">
      <rich:column rowspan="#{dg.numDocuments}"
                   rendered="#{empty rowNbr or rowNbr eq 0}">
        <h:outputText value="#{dg.title}" />
      </rich:column>
      <rich:column styleClass="left">
        <h:outputText value=" #{doc.fileName}" />
      </rich:column>
    </rich:collapsibleSubTable>
    <f:facet name="footer">
      <rich:dataScroller id="repo-tdoc-datascroller" />
    </f:facet>
  </rich:dataTable>
{code}

What I'm trying to do now is to filter the list of elements by hand (filteredDocumentGroups), so this requires me to render the whole table like

{code:xml}<a4j:ajax execute="@this" render="repo-tdoc-datatable repo-tdoc-datascroller" event="keyup" />{code}

instead of just

{code:xml}<a4j:ajax execute="@this" render="repo-tdoc-datatable@body repo-tdoc-datascroller" event="keyup" />{code}

as also described here: https://community.jboss.org/thread/166709

However, the latter (@body) doesn't re-read the list of items and the former (without @body) loses the focus of the inputText, which gets rendered because it is inside the updated dataTable.

Question:

How do you set the focus on the inputText inside the whole rerendered dataTable, that is without using @body?

The code

{code:xml}<a4j:ajax execute="@this" render="repo-tdoc-datatable repo-tdoc-datascroller" event="keyup" oncomplete="rich:component(‘repo-tdoc-search-input’).focus();" />{code}

does nothing.

What's wrong?

PS: There used to be a4j:support focus="" for this in RF3. I have no idea why it's not in RF4.
