sorry to revive this thread but I’ve a an issue which is sort of related to one of the comments here about ajaxSupport.

I have successfully built a composite component which is completely designed in java rather than a template (many reason, don’t want to bore you). Upshot is that a dev can simply put <gls:Search ..attrs../> on their page to get a complete panel which provides search capabilities.

OK, enough history.

My problem is that I want to use a <a4j:commandButton> to submit the form so we can rerender only the component the search is directed at.

In the Search component initialisition code i have

HtmlAjaxCommandButton button = ( HtmlAjaxCommandButton )context.getApplication().createComponent( HtmlAjaxCommandButton.COMPONENT_TYPE );
button.setId( “searchButton” );
button.setValue( “Search” );
button.setOnclick( (String )getAttributes().get( “onSearchClick” ) ); //javascript to run when clicked
button.setOncomplete( (String )getAttributes().get( “onSearchComplete” ) ); //javascript to run after complete
button.setAction( app.createMethodBinding( “#{” + backingBean + “.submitSearch}”, null ) );

This button only works once…and I’m complete stumped.

Putting the <a4j:commandButton> as a hidden child of the <gls:Search ..attrs../> on a jsp/xhtml page and calling .click() using javascript works fine everytime.

Anyone have any idea why the a4j button isn’t submitting after subsequent keypresses when it is added programmatically ?

btw…it’s just about relevant to this blog entry as I’m trying to do the same thing from a rich:modalPanel with the same issue.

Can you e-mail it to me? devon@digitalsanctuary.com

@YSL: can you send some code that isn’t working? I’ve never had issues where form values don’t submit correctly from a modal panel.

I am able to open the modal window, but want 2 close it on a4j:support oncomplete event.

For some reason it doesnt tend 2 wrk.
can u please help me.
here is the code.

.pic {
margin-bottom: -4px;
margin-right: 2px;
}

#{item.label}

Sort selected users

Currently Active Items

Name
#{items.label}

uri (present)
#{items.iconURI}

Close
Save

So the #{backingBean.setSelectedItem(item)} doesn’t work for me. How do I go about getting this working without seam?

I have looked at the a4j:actionparam, but have not made this work properly.

Any help appreciated.
