commandButton/commandLink/ajax action/listener method not invoked or input value not set/updated
(12 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Here is the simplified version of my xhtml code, I can't figure out why my save1 commandButton doesn't work while save2 works:
<rich:panel id="table_panel">
<h:form>
<rich:panel rendered="#{bean.showPanel}">
<a4j:commandButton id="save1" value="Save"
action="#{bean.executeAction()}">
</rich:panel>
<rich:panel>
<a4j:commandButton id="save2" value="Save2"
action="#{bean.executeAction()}">
</rich:panel>
</h:form>
</rich:panel>
When click a button, it will update showPanel value to true in backend and re-render *table_panel*,
then commandButton save1 will show up, but even if it show up, the action executeAction()
will never be invoked after click (never enter into my breakpoint in the method). However, the commandbutton save2 can always act normally.
The only difference for those two buttons is their wrapper rich:panel, one is always there while
another is displayed after some UI action as it has rendered="#{bean.showPanel}" attribute. I didn't see any javascript errors on firebug.
I would appreciate any ideas, thanks in advance!
Try putting execute="#this" explicitly in the commandButton.
Have you tried immediate="true", it might narrow down the issue in my opinion:
<a4j:commandButton id="save1" value="Save" immediate="true"
action="#{bean.executeAction()}">

How to use <h:form> in JSF page? Single form? Multiple forms? Nested forms?
(2 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I'm using PrimeFaces 5.3 with the following code:
<p:dialog id="dlg1" appendTo="#(body)" header="Confirm Dialog" widgetVar="dlg1" modal="true">
<h:form id="dialogform">
<h:outputText id="confirmlabel" value="Are you Sure you want to #{reportRunnerNamedBean.currentCommand} ?" />
<br/>
<center>
Check to send only missed emails:<p:selectBooleanCheckbox id="sendOnlyMissedBox" value="#{reportRunnerNamedBean.sendMissedOnly}"></p:selectBooleanCheckbox><br/>
<p:commandButton id="yesButton" value="Yes" action="#{reportRunnerNamedBean.runCurrentCommand()}" onstart="startWait();PF('waitDialog').show();" oncomplete="PF('waitDialog').hide();stopWait();" onclick="PF('dlg1').hide();" process="#form"/>
<p:commandButton id="noButton" process="#this" value="No" onclick="PF('dlg1').hide();"/>
</center>
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
No matter what, the backing bean value for the sendMissedOnly is set to false. I have confirmed this by attaching a debugger. I have even tried adding ajax to the box, it is still false every time, no matter if it is checked or not. Does p:selectBooleanCheckbox just not work in a dialog?
I figured this out. It was because the dialog was in an form. It seems that when a dialog is in a form , and you have a form within the dialog itself, the component will not be processed. It seems JSF/primefaces does not like multiple layers of forms or dialogs defined within forms. If you are having a similar issue, makes sure your dialog is defined outside any form. Moving a dialog can cause paths to components to change. the easiest way to resolve that is to use the primefaces handy p:component tag like this update=":#{p:component('compoment_name')}" > that will make it find it no matter where in the tree the component occurs.

Differences between action and actionListener
(4 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have identical actions for commandLink and commandButton. However, commandLink works as expected. But with commandButton no action occurs. Am I missing syntax?
<p:commandLink value="Submit" action="#{beanController.getStr(strSearch)}" ajax="false"/>
<p:commandButton value="Submit" actionListener="#{beanController.getStr(strSearch)}" ajax="false"/>
If you intend for navigation to occur you should use action not actionListener in your commandButton, so:
<p:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{beanController.getStr(strSearch)}" ajax="false"/>
commandButton button generates a HTML <input type="submit"> element and the commandLink generates a HTML <a> and comandButton is using to submit the form whereas commandlink is used to submit a link,so your form is not submitting i'll suggest you to check if there is any nested form is present or not or if there is multiple forms in your code or any other issue which is causing in form submit, if you can then post your code.

How to update panel from datatable [duplicate]
(1 answer)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm using PF 5.3, with JSF 2.2
I have a p:commandButton which exists in one of p:column of a p:dataTable. I have a panel outside the dataTable and I want it to be updated once the commandButton is clicked, but this didn't work.
xhtml sample:
<h:form id="register_edit_student" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<p:dataTable var="students" value="#{generalPresentation.students}">
<p:column headerText="Edit">
<p:commandButton update="updateStudent" value="Edit" action="#{teacherPresentation.assignEditableStudent(students)}" />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
<p:panel id="updateStudent">
</p:panel>
</h:form>
My requirement is to update the "updateStudent" p:panel.
Once I ask the p:commandButton to update the panel (update="updateStudent") the page design crashed and all controls disappeared.
I was reading in the internet the commandButton of a column in a dataTable cannot update anything outside the dataTable, so the question, is there a solution or work around?
Thanks
You have three options to solve this:
add prependId="false" to your form,
Prepend the form id in your reference: update=":register_edit_student:updateStudent" or
move your panel outside of the form element.
Note: The first option should be used rarely and is known to cause issues with plain JSF.

Outcommented Facelets code still invokes EL expressions like #{bean.action()} and causes javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException on #{bean.action}

I have this button in a .xhtml:
<p:commandButton id="openDialog"
value="#{msg.CreateMultiple}"
onclick="PF('dialogLocations').show();" title="View"
type="button">
</p:commandButton>
What it is supposed to do, is to open the dialog dialogLocations which has the next code:
<p:dialog header="#{msg.CreateMultiple}" id="dialogLocations"
widgetVar="dialogLocations" modal="true"closable="true"
dynamic="true" closeOnEscape="true">
<h:form>
<p:commandButton id="acceptMultiple_button" value="#{msg.Create}"
action="#{locationCreateBean.createMultiple(true)}"
styleClass="btn-green internal-margin-left" update="#form">
</p:commandButton>
<p:commandButton id="cancelMultiple_button"
styleClass="btn-red internal-margin-left"
onclick="PF('dialogLocations').hide();" value="#{msg.Cancel}"
title="View" type="button">
</p:commandButton>
</div>
</h:panelGroup>
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
The dialog has some inputs also to use in the bean.
My problem is that, when I click the button "openDialog" the dialog opens and the method locationBean.createMultiple(true) is being called, which is the action of the button "acceptMultiple_button" .
Shouldn't the action of the button be triggered when I click the button?
Thanks.
Solved it. It was a comment on the xhtml surrounded by <!-- --> that has the call to the method. I thought that in a comment wouldn't call the function. But it seems sometimes it calls a comment anyway.
Thanks for the comments.

commandButton/commandLink/ajax action/listener method not invoked or input value not set/updated
(12 answers)
Closed 9 months ago.
I have a page with a form and an input text, that represents the value of a bean. On the bottom of the page, I have a navigation button to go to the next entry:
<h:form id="customerData">
...
<h:outputText value="#{customeredit.customer.name}" />
<br />
<h:inputText size="60" id="name" value="#{customeredit.customer.name}" />
...
</h:form>
<p:commandButton value="Next customer" action="customers" ajax="false" id="nextCustomer">
<f:param name="linkageAreaId" value="#{customeredit.nextCustomer.id}" />
</p:commandButton>
If I click on the button, the page reloads, a new customer object is loaded in the background and all the entries are updated EXCEPT the inputText. The outputText changes, but the inputText always keeps the value it has gotten when it was intialized. I also checked with the getters, the values return from the getters change with new customers, but the value displayed in the inputText always stays the same.
That can happen if you're nesting forms (which is illegal in HTML) and thus both the input and button ultimately end up in the same form. That button would then submit the input field as well. In any case, you should not be using <p:commandButton> for page-to-page navigation. Use <p:button> instead.
<p:button value="Next customer" outcome="customers" id="nextCustomer">
<f:param name="linkageAreaId" value="#{customeredit.nextCustomer.id}" />
</p:button>
Don't forget to fix the nested form problem as well.
