Data Table Primefaces - jsf

Question

I'm working with JSF Primefaces and I want to make a search and show results in but results won't show, I'm doing this with Result type and had implemented like this in JSF 2.1 whith MyFaces tomahawk, but now with primefaces this doesn't work, here is my code
<h:form id="buscar_sucursal">
<p:panel style="width: 800px">
<h:panelGrid columns="5">
<h:outputText value="Criterio: " />
<p:selectOneMenu id="citerio" value="#{SucursalesBean.criterio}">
<f:selectItem itemValue="1" itemLabel="CVE SUCURSAL"></f:selectItem>
<f:selectItem itemValue="2" itemLabel="NOMBRE"></f:selectItem>
</p:selectOneMenu>
<h:outputText value="Valor: " />
<p:inputText id="valor" value="#{SucursalesBean.valor}"></p:inputText>
<p:commandButton action="#{SucursalesBean.buscar}" value="Buscar"></p:commandButton>
</h:panelGrid>
</p:panel>
<p:dataTable id="sucursalesTable" var="suc" value="#{SucursalesBean.sucursalesTable}">
<p:column headerText="Id">
<h:outputText value=""></h:outputText>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Cve">
<h:outputText value="#{suc.cve_sucursal}"></h:outputText>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Sucursal">
<h:outputText value="#{suc.sucursal}"></h:outputText>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Domicilio">
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Contraseña">
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Accion">
<h:commandLink value="Editar"></h:commandLink> /
<h:commandLink value="Eliminar"></h:commandLink>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</h:form>
And the code of my ManagedBean
public Result getSucursalesTable()
{
return this.sucursalesTable;
}
public void setSucursalesTable(Result sucursalesTable)
{
this.sucursalesTable = sucursalesTable;
}
public void buscar() throws ClassNotFoundException
{
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
this.valor = request.getParameter("buscar_sucursal:valor");
try
{
LoginBean loginBean = (LoginBean) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().get("LoginBean");
Connection conn = loginBean.getConectar_db();
//int id_empresa = loginBean.getId_empresa();
ArrayList<SucursalesBean> al = new ArrayList<SucursalesBean>();
st = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
ResultSet rs = null;
//ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT *FROM clientes WHERE id_cliente='"+request.getParameter("id_cliente")+"';"); // AND id_contribuyente='' AND id_empresa=''
//if(request.getParameter("sucursales:id_sucursal") != null)
//rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT *FROM sucursales WHERE id_sucursal='"+request.getParameter("sucursales:id_sucursal")+"' AND id_empresa='"+loginBean.getId_empresa()+"' AND id_contribuyente='"+loginBean.getId_contribuyente()+"';"); // AND id_contribuyente='' AND id_empresa=''
if(getCriterio().toString() != null)
{
if(getCriterio().toString().equals("1"))
rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT cve_sucursal,sucursal FROM sucursales WHERE cve_sucursal='"+this.valor+"' AND id_empresa='"+loginBean.getId_empresa()+"' AND id_contribuyente='"+loginBean.getId_contribuyente()+"';");
if(getCriterio().toString().equals("2"))
rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT *FROM sucursales WHERE sucursal LIKE '%"+this.valor+"%' AND id_empresa='"+loginBean.getId_empresa()+"' AND id_contribuyente='"+loginBean.getId_contribuyente()+"';");
}
this.sucursalesTable = ResultSupport.toResult(rs);
//this.sucursalesTable = rs;
//setSucursalesTable(ResultSupport.toResult(rs));
/*while(rs.next())
{
//out.println("<tr><td>"+rs.getString("sucursal")+"</td><td>"+rs.getString("cve_sucursal")+"</td><td>"+rs.getString("telefono")+"</td><td>"+rs.getString("e_mail")+"</td><td>"+rs.getString("calle")+"</td><td><a href='sucursales.jsp?accion=editar&id_sucursal="+rs.getString("id_sucursal")+"'>Editar</a></td><td></td></tr>");
//setId_sucursal(String.valueOf(rs.getInt("id_sucursal")));
setCve_sucursal(rs.getString("cve_sucursal"));
setSucursal(rs.getString("sucursal"));
al.add(this);
}
this.sucursalesTable = al;*/
}
catch(SQLException ex)
{
}
}
I don't want to use serialized objects in order to use List type because I think it's to much code for doing something that supposed to be simple, even if this it's not the best aproach.
My doubt it's if Primefaces has support for Result type or am I lost with this and maybe that's why this aproach isn't working.
Any help I really appreciate thank in advance

Answer 1

It looks to me as you've converted a h:commandButton to p:commandButton. The first by default uses non-ajax request, but the latter uses an ajax request. If correct, you just need to tell the button which components to process during and update after the request:
<p:commandButton action="#{SucursalesBean.buscar}"
value="Buscar"
process="criterio valor"
update="sucursalesTable" />
Or use a non-ajax request:
<p:commandButton action="#{SucursalesBean.buscar}"
value="Buscar"
ajax="false" />
