a4j:ajax listener doesn't work with a4j:push

mogaba Jan 9, 2013 2:46 AM

Hello,

I used this article to start with push. I added listener to a4j:ajax, but the method isn't invoked:

<a4j:push address="sampleAddress">
    <a4j:ajax event="dataavailable" listener="#{pushModel.increment}" render="out" />
</a4j:push>

The increment() method:

public void increment() {
        System.out.println("count incremented");
        ++count;
}

I use Richfaces 4.2.3 with Glassfish 3.1.2.2 (also tried Tomcat 7).

I've found a workaround:

<a4j:jsFunction name="update" actionListener="#{pushModel.increment}" render="out" /> <a4j:push address="sampleAddress" ondataavailable="update()" />

It wouild be nice if a4j:ajax listener would work, though. Is it a bug or something?

I have come across the exact same problem (using Richfaces 4.3.1)... the listener attribute does not work/trigger from an <a4j:ajax inside of an a4j:push. So, thanks for the workaround.

Hopefully somebody can elaborate on this... is there a reason, or it a bug that should be raised formally?
