PrimeFaces autoComplete dropdown not showing values - jsf

After updating from PrimeFaces 8 to 10 all the autoComplete components in my application do not show values when opening the dropdown menu
The list stays empty. When I debug into AutoComplete and the AutoCompleteRenderer, I can see that the suggestions for an empty query are generated
But later in the AutoCompleteRenderer the AutoComplete is a new instance (with same component id) without any suggestions.
This is my JSF page

<p:outputLabel value="Selected item: #{testBean.item}" />

</html>
and my bean

import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public List<String> completeItems(final String query) {
return items.stream()
.filter(i -> StringUtils.containsIgnoreCase(i, query))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
}
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

View scoped JSF bean is used in multiple tabs

I have a simple example in which a JSF bean with view scope is called from different browser tabs

public List<String> completeItems(final String query) {
return items.stream()
.filter(i -> StringUtils.containsIgnoreCase(i, query))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
}
When I open the same page in a different browser tab, after selecting a value, I see the selected value from the other tab. I thought a view scoped bean would be created for each browser tab.
I am using Spring Boot v2.5.6, Glassfisch Jakarta Faces v2.3.17 and PrimeFaces v11.0.0

p:growl does not show global faces message

I've the below command button and growl component:
<p:commandButton id="reservationAdd" actionListener=" {reservationBean.addReservation()}" value="Dodaj" oncomplete="PF('wdlgAddReservation').hide();" update=":frm" action="#{linkedTimelinesController.createTimeline()}">
<f:ajax execute="reservationAdd" onevent="click" listener="#{messageControler.eventAdded()}" render="dynamic"/>
</p:commandButton>
<p:growl id="msj" autoUpdate="true"/>
I'm adding a faces message as below:
#ManagedBean
public class MessageControler {
public void eventAdded(){
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null,new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO,"Rezerwacja została dodana",null));
}
}
However, it does not show up in the growl component. How is this caused and how can I solve it?
My following minimal example works, perhaps you check the attributes of your commandButton
page.xhtml
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<f:view>
<h:head/>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<p:commandButton value="Growl">
<f:ajax listener="#{page.triggerEvent}"/>
</p:commandButton>
<p:growl autoUpdate="true"/>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</f:view>
</html>
Page
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;

#ManagedBean
public class Page {
public void triggerEvent() {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Test!", null));
}
}

PrimeFaces "tabChange" event with dynamic number of tabs

I need to get title of currently active tab inside my TabView. TabView is constructed with dynamic number of tabs with listener attached to "tabChanged":
<p:tabView value="#{bean.list}" var="listItem">
<p:ajax event="tabChange" listener="#{listenerBean.onChange}" />
<p:tab title="#{listItem.stringProperty}">
</p:tab>
</p:tabView>
The problem is that TabChangeEvent object received by onChange(TabChangeEvent event) always contains first tab instead of the active one.
public void onChange(TabChangeEvent event) {
event.getTab().getTitle(); //allways returns title of first tab
}
This behavior is only true for dynamic number of tabs in TabView if I define each tab explicitly, TabChangeEvent works fine.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
I use PrimeFaces 3.5 with JSF2.1 and Servlets 2.5
The following minimal example worked for my like a charm by printing the title of the tab to activate every time I click on it:
page.xhtml

How to print ArrayList in JSF Facelets

I have been trying to print the values from an ArrayList<String> in JSF Facelets, but with no luck. The value is getting stored in an ArrayList but the output is blank on the page.
Bean file:
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
#ManagedBean(name="newCompanyName")
#SessionScoped
public class CompanyNames implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
private String companyName;
public String getCompanyName() {
return companyName;
}
public void setCompanyName(String companyName) {
this.companyName = companyName;
list.add(companyName);
System.out.println("Size of array list is : "+list.size());
for (String number : list) {
System.out.println("Number = " + number);
}
}
public CompanyNames(String companyName) {
this.companyName = companyName;
}
public CompanyNames() {
}
}
Here is my JSF file from an XHTML 1.0 Transitional file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<title>Insert title here</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<ui:repeat var="item" value="#{CompanyNames.list}">
<h1>#{item}</h1>
</ui:repeat>
</h:body>
</html>
Instead of
<ui:repeat var="item" value="#{CompanyNames.list}"> <h1>#{item}</h1> </ui:repeat>
use
<ui:repeat var="item" value="#{newCompanyName.list}"> <h1>#{item}</h1> </ui:repeat>
You will also need a getList method for the class CompanyNames
public List<String> getList() {
return this.list;
}
Use companyNames.list instead of CompanyNames.list and you will also need the get() function of list.

POST http://localhost:8080/Languages/WEB-INF/inventory.xhtml 404 (No Encontrado)

I am using facelets in my views with JSF 2.0. I have two backing beans, two xhtml view files and another xhtml template file. When I have the second view in the webapp directory and I change the language all is Ok but when I put mi second view into the WEB-INF folder and I change the language I have the following error in the chrome network console:

What is happening?
A HTTP 404 error simply means "Page Not Found". And indeed, files inside /WEB-INF folder are not publicly accessible. Put files which are intented to be publicly accessible outside /WEB-INF folder.
Note that this has further completely nothing to do with internationalization. You'd have had exactly the same problem when not doing anything with regard to internationalization (e.g. a simple navigation).
