How to update Dialog Height on validation errors? - jsf

I'm using the Dialog Framework in Primefaces 4.0 and I have the height set to the default (auto) which is fine until I click the Add button and it displays a validation message. Now the dialog height is too small and doesn't auto resize.
How can I make the dialog resize it's height on validation errors?

First of all, make sure that your dialog doesn't have fixed height, second make sure that overflow of the DOM element where the notification resides in the dialog has overflow properly set. Some dialogs are a bit tricky and do not re-size easily without closing and opening again, it would be easier to help you if you could show the actual dialog. My first tip would be to catch an event in front end with jQuery and resize the dialog accordingly.

JSF Primefaces p:calendar or p:datePicker is Not showing any calendar field

I am using Jsf primefaces version 8 and trying to show the calendar field in the xhtml page. But inspite all efforts, the popup calendar field is not displaying at all in the page.
My main.xhtml page contains a p:dialog and this dialog includes another xhtml page, dateEdit.xhtml. Inside the second xhtml, I am trying to have the p:datePicker or p:calendar field. But its not working.
Below is the piece of code from my main.xhtml page:
<p:dialog closable="true" visible="false" modal="true" id="dateDialog" widgetVar="dateDialog" resizable="false" showEffect="fade" hideEffect="fade"
header="Date Edit" width="60%" height="50%" style="max-height:100%; overflow:auto; ">
<ui:include src="dateEdit.xhtml" >
</ui:include>
</p:dialog>
Below is the code snippet from the dateEdit.xhtml :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"

<h:head>
<f:facet name="last">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../jsfStyle.css" media="all"></link>
</f:facet>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form id="formDtId" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" >
<p:outputPanel id="editProjectInfo">
<h:panelGrid id="coreGrid" columns="3" style="margin-bottom:10px" cellpadding="7">
<p:outputLabel for="update_Date" value="Demo Date : " />
<p:calendar id="update_Date" value="#{dateManagedBean.demoDate}" mode="popup" navigator="true" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" style="font-size:8pt;" showOn="button" >
<f:convertDateTime type="date" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" for="update_Date"></f:convertDateTime>
</p:calendar>
</h:panelGrid>
</p:outputPanel>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
But if I click on the button icon, no calendar is getting displayed. Nothing is happening.
I tried with the below code also, instead of p:calendar, but that also didn't work :
<p:datePicker id="update_Date" value="#{dateManagedBean.demoDate}" pattern="MM-dd-yyyy" showIcon="true" />
Kindly help to resolve this issue. Thanks.

p:selectOneMenu keeps focus

There seems to be a bug in Primefaces v6.1 when using p:selectOneMenu, it keeps the focus when displaying a modal dialog. You can use the arrow keys up/down to change the selectOneMenu selection. When i replace p:selectOneMenu with h:selectOneMenu it works as expected. Any idea how a can move the focus to the input1 field?

<p:dialog widgetVar="dlg" modal="true" focus="input1">
<p:inputText id="input1" widgetVar="test"/>
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
I have fixed this by adding a delayed call to focus().
onchange="PF('dlg').show();setTimeout(function() { $('#form:input1').focus() },10)"

whenver i click the commandlinks present in the second or third tabs , after selection it navigates to the first tab , and its not staying in the tab where i performed the selection Say if i clicked the "click" link inside the juniper tab , then it navigates to the first tab. any suggestions are always welcome . thanks in advance
Use partialsubmit="true" in your commandlink.
The reason for the Accordian to reset itself is that once you click on any commandlink the whole form is being refreshed instead of the panel itself. Partial submit will do a partial refresh.

customised message is not displayed (using Jsf and primeface3.3)

I am creating a demo project using primeface 3.3 and JSF, in which if a user doesn't fill a required field then it should show a message. Here is my code:
<!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:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<f:view contentType="text/html">
<h:head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<title> growl</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<p:growl id="growl" showDetail="true" sticky="true" />
<p:panel >
<h:panelGrid columns="3">
<h:outputText value="Your Name: *" />
<p:inputText value="#{someBean}" required="true" label="Name" requiredMessage="User Name Requireds"/>
<h:messages style="color:red;margin:5px;" />
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton value="Save" action="success" />
</p:panel>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</f:view>
</html>
when clicking to save button without filling user name it doesn't show the required message
The <p:commandButton> sends by default an ajax request wherein by default the entire form is executed (as in process="#form"), but by default actually nothing will be updated (as in update="").
If you want to update the UI on complete of the ajax request, then you need to explicitly specify the update attribute. For example, this updates the entire form:
<p:commandButton ... update="#form" />
And this updates only a specific component:
<h:messages id="messages" ... />
<p:commandButton ... update="messages" />
You can alternatively also use PrimeFaces own <p:messages> which supports auto-updating.
<p:messages ... autoUpdate="true" />
<p:commandButton ... />
