How to bypass validation phase on a4j support action?

genkito Mar 12, 2008 7:43 AM

Hi,

i am using a table which has columns including text fields, dropdown lists, checkboxes. table data is binded to an object list and all the columns are binded to corresponding field of table. When a button is clicked an action is fired via a4j support. However during the action all the values binded to list object's elements are null although my object list is in session scope. how can i solve this problem. i googled and found that this problem occurs cause of process validations phase. however making immediate true does not work. can anybody help please?

the code is as follows:

<webuijsf:table augmentTitle="false" binding="#{CustomerMainPage.CST_ITEMS_TABLE}" id="CST_ITEMS_TABLE" lite="true" style="width: 100%">
 <webuijsf:tableRowGroup binding="#{CustomerMainPage.CST_ITEMS_TRG}" id="CST_ITEMS_TRG" rows="10"
 sourceData="#{ListsSessionBean.customerMainPageCatItemExtendedList}" sourceVar="currentRow">
 <webuijsf:tableColumn binding="#{CustomerMainPage.CST_ITEMNAME_COL}" id="CST_ITEMNAME_COL" valign="middle">
 <webuijsf:staticText binding="#{CustomerMainPage.staticText2}" id="staticText2"
 style="font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold" text="#{currentRow.value['name']}"/>
 </webuijsf:tableColumn>
 <webuijsf:tableColumn align="center" binding="#{CustomerMainPage.CST_ITEMSIZES_COL}" id="CST_ITEMSIZES_COL"
 style="width: 50px" valign="middle">
 <webuijsf:dropDown binding="#{CustomerMainPage.dropDown1}" id="dropDown1"
 items="#{currentRow.value['itemSizePriceOptions']}"
 selected="#{currentRow.value['selectedItemSizeCode']}" style="font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px"/>
 </webuijsf:tableColumn>
 <webuijsf:tableColumn align="center" binding="#{CustomerMainPage.CST_ADDITEM_COL}" id="CST_ADDITEM_COL"
 style="width: 20px" valign="middle" width="40">
 <webuijsf:image binding="#{CustomerMainPage.image1}" id="image1"
 onMouseOver="this.style.cursor='pointer'" url="/resources/add.png">
 <a4j:support action="#{CustomerMainPage.prepareSelectedItemPanel}" ajaxSingle="true" event="onClick"
 oncomplete="Richfaces.showModalPanel('itemModalPanel')" reRender="CST_SELECTEDITEM_PANEL, CTS_ITEMHEADER_PANEL, message1"/>
 </webuijsf:image>
 </webuijsf:tableColumn>
 </webuijsf:tableRowGroup>
 </webuijsf:table>

public void prepareSelectedItemPanel(){
 int index = getSelectedItemRow();
 MenuItemExtendedRequestBean itemExtendedBean = getListsSessionBean().getCustomerMainPageCatItemExtendedList().get(index);
 String selectedItemSizePrice = itemExtendedBean.getSelectedItemSizeCode();
 itemExtendedBean = getMenuItemExtendedRequestBean().fillSelectedItemProperties(itemExtendedBean, selectedItemSizePrice);
 getListsSessionBean().setCustomerMainPageSelectedItemExtended(itemExtendedBean);
 }

following code always returns null although a selected item exists. the value is not populated from ui to backing bean anyway.

String selectedItemSizePrice = itemExtendedBean.getSelectedItemSizeCode();
