Question

Good day!
I'm using JSF 2.1 Primefaces 4.0 Glassfish 3.2.1
In my Form.xhtml, I have this code.
<h:form id="modDlgFormc">

My Main code
#ManagedBean(name = "Fame")
#SessionScoped
private FameCriteriaDAOImpl fameCriteriaDAOImpl = new FameCriteriaDAOImpl();
private ArrayList<FameCriteriaBean> createdCriteria = new ArrayList();
public void saveCriteria() {
fameCriteriaDAOImpl = new FameCriteriaDAOImpl();
try {
if (this.validate() == true) {
//String wsheetId = fameManagementDP.getWsheetId(group_Id, workbookName);
FameCriteriaBean bean = new FameCriteriaBean();
bean.setWsheetId(this.worksheetId);
bean.setFieldName(this.fieldName);
bean.setOperator(this.operator);
bean.setValue(this.value);
String actionStr = "inserted";
fameCriteriaDAOImpl.save(bean);
}
} catch (SQLException sqlEx) {
sqlEx.printStackTrace();
error(converter.getConvertedError(sqlEx.getMessage()));
} finally {
this.initialize();
this.initializeCreatedCriteria();
this.resetCriteria();
}
}
My Bean code.
public class FameCriteriaBean {
private String wsheetName = "";
private String wsheetId = "";
private String fieldName = "";
private String operator = "";
private String value = "";
public FameCriteriaBean(){
}
/**
* #return the fieldName
*/
public String getFieldName() {
return fieldName;
}
/**
* #param fieldName the fieldName to set
*/
public void setFieldName(String fieldName) {
this.fieldName = fieldName;
}
/**
* #return the operator
*/
public String getOperator() {
return operator;
}
/**
* #param operator the operator to set
*/
public void setOperator(String operator) {
this.operator = operator;
}
/**
* #return the value
*/
public String getValue() {
return value;
}
/**
* #param value the value to set
*/
public void setValue(String value) {
this.value = value;
}
/**
* #return the wsheetId
*/
public String getWsheetId() {
return wsheetId;
}
/**
* #param wsheetId the wsheetId to set
*/
public void setWsheetId(String wsheetId) {
this.wsheetId = wsheetId;
}
/**
* #return the wsheetName
*/
public String getWsheetName() {
return wsheetName;
}
/**
* #param wsheetName the wsheetName to set
*/
public void setWsheetName(String wsheetName) {
this.wsheetName = wsheetName;
}
}
Below is the scenario.
I choose a fieldName then the lists of operand was loaded. This is correct.
I click the button ADD, then a p:message appear that there is no operand selected. This is correct.
I had noticed that the fieldname value that I was selected when error appears was gone.
My question is how not to refresh the value of fieldNameId so that I can use it after an error is displayed in p:message.
I'm using SessionScoped for my java class because I'm using p:wizard in Form.xhtml.
Please help me to solve this.
Thank you and More Power! :)

Answer 1

What I did is this.
Please see updated Main class
#ManagedBean(name = "Fame")
#SessionScoped
private FameCriteriaDAOImpl fameCriteriaDAOImpl = new FameCriteriaDAOImpl();
private ArrayList<FameCriteriaBean> createdCriteria = new ArrayList();
public void saveCriteria() {
fameCriteriaDAOImpl = new FameCriteriaDAOImpl();
if (!this.validate()) {
return;
}
try {
FameCriteriaBean bean = new FameCriteriaBean();
bean.setWsheetId(this.worksheetId);
bean.setFieldName(this.fieldName);
bean.setOperator(this.operator);
bean.setValue(this.value);
String actionStr = "inserted";
fameCriteriaDAOImpl.save(bean);
} catch (SQLException sqlEx) {
sqlEx.printStackTrace();
error(converter.getConvertedError(sqlEx.getMessage()));
} finally {
this.initialize();
this.initializeCreatedCriteria();
this.resetCriteria();
}
}
