I use calendar component from PrimeFaces.
<p:calendar id="hotelCalendar"
mode="inline"
beforeShowDay="disableDates"
pages="1">
<p:ajax event="dateSelect" listener="#{apartments.handleDateSelect}"
oncomplete="loadDisabledDates();" update="hotelCalendar"/>
</p:calendar>
Logic: when a user clicks on the date, back-end should process this date and set it as disabled.
After that calendar receives updated array of disabled dates from back-end(using ajax request), reload all the dates(using beforeShowDay) and mark them with different colors. Available - green, disabled - red.
The problem: Calendar update is executed almost instantly after dateSelect event. That's why I don't see current changes until the next click.
Question:
How could I force update to be executed after js loadDisabledDates() is completed?
Is there any other way to achieve such functionality? Probably with binding Calendar component to bean?
The oncomplete runs indeed after update. I'm not sure why you expected the other way round, the documentation says clearly so.
Basically, this is the event invocation order:
onclick handler is invoked
ajax request is prepared with form data based on process
onbegin handler is invoked
ajax request is sent
ajax response is successfully retrieved (HTTP status code is 200)
onsuccess handler is invoked
ajax updates are performed in HTML DOM based on update
oncomplete handler is invoked
So, provided that you want to execute some script after executing the ajax response but before updating the HTML DOM, just use onsuccess instead of oncomplete.

I'm using primefaces ckEditor. Want to disable the 'Save' button untill user not type something in this ckEditor component. I can reach this by using <p:ajax event="change/>, but then update animation appears on every typed letter. How can I reach this in jsf/primefaces without these animation?
Thanks!
If an Ajax request is triggered for each keystroke, your application will not be very efficient. First of all, add a delay="..." to your p:ajax listener to reduce the number of calls:
If less than delay milliseconds elapses between calls to request() only the most recent one is sent and all other requests are discarded. The default value of this option is null. If the value of delay is the literal string 'none' without the quotes or the default, no delay is used.
Regarding the Ajax status animation (I guess you are talking about), add global="false" to your p:ajax listener:
Global ajax requests are listened by ajaxStatus component, setting global to false will not trigger ajaxStatus.
I am sending multiple ajax request in PrimeFaces. I have used <p:ajaxStatus /> component to show loading dialog. I am performing CRUD operation in PrimeFaces. So all CRUD operations are using ajax request. So whenever i am performing any CRUD operation loading dialog is shown. Where as i just want to show Loading dialog only for DELETE operation.
So is there any way that i can prevent ajax status for a particular request?
Think the other way around…
"How can I show a dialog when a command starts and hide it when it end"
The answer is very simple then. Use the onstart and oncomplete attributes of the single commandbutton to show/hide a specific dialog. You can customize that one specific dialog in any way you want.
You can also use a p:blockUI as correctly stated in the comments
The ajaxstatus is a kind of optimization if you want it for all requests. In this case you want it for one request. So don't use the onstart and oncomplete of an ajaxstatus then.
I'm using PrimeFaces version 3.5.
I want to implement the message informing that the filter in the DataTable have return too many rows and only first 50 will be displayed.
I've tried to do it with both Messages and outputText. I set the text to display and request update:
RequestContext context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.update("form:message");
context.update("form:text");
message = "Too many rows";
The components:
<p:message id="message" for="message"/>
<h:outputText id="text" value="#{userPicker.model.message}"/>
However, I don's see the proper update sections in partial-request response. Is it possible to request the update of components from within the LazyDataModel.load function (and if, what I'm doing wrong here)? If it is not possible (why?) how else can I force refresh of element from DataTable filtering?
The load method of LazyDataModel is invoked in render phase, when it's too late to add additional components to update.
However, it is possible to add JavaScript execution command:
context.execute("show_message()");
Where function show_message will display the message on client side, which enables to accomplish the task with single request.
I ran into a very interesting issue. Here is my scenario:
My Goal
Use a SelectManyCheckbox with a nested tooltip.
Use SelectManyCheckbox onHide event to fire an Ajax (ActionListener) call
and update the
SelectManyCheckbox label and nested tooltip text.
My Approach
Use a remoteCommand and tie it to the SelectManyCheckbox onHide event
XHTML
<p:selectCheckboxMenu id="sourceFilter"
onHide="sourceFilterCommand();"
value="#{viewRevenueBean.sourceSelectManyMenu.selectedValues}"
label="#{viewRevenueBean.sourceSelectManyMenu.label}"
filter="true" filterMatchMode="contains"
validator="#{viewRevenueBean.sourceSelectManyMenu.validate}"
widgetVar="srcFilterDropDown">
<f:selectItems id="sourceItems"
value="#{viewRevenueBean.sourceSelectManyMenu.availableItems}"
var="source" itemLabel="#{source.label}" itemValue="#{source.value}" />
<f:convertNumber type="number" />
<p:tooltip id="srcToolTip"
for="sourceFilter"
value="#{viewRevenueBean.sourceSelectManyMenu.tooltipText}"
showEffect="fade"
hideEffect="fade"/>
<p:remoteCommand name="sourceFilterCommand" update="sourceFilter"
actionListener=#{viewRevenueBean.sourceSelectManyMenu.defaultEventHandler}"/>
</p:selectCheckboxMenu>
My Results
Ajax (Action Listener) gets fired and SelectManyCheckbox label and nested tooltip are updated (expected behavior).
In Firebug, I noticed that each onHide event Ajax call is multiplying the preceding number of server side requests by two (unexpected behavior).
e.g
1st onHide event = 1 Request
2nd onHide event = 2 Requests
3rd onHide event = 4 Requests
4th onHide event = 8 Requests
5th onHide event = 16 Requests
etc.....
This is obviously not desired and leads to a big slow down after just
a couple onHide events.
Experiments I tried
I created a p:command button which accomplished the desired Ajax call and correct element updates (without the multiplied request
issue) . I then proceeded to steal it's Ajax JavaScript call via
Firebug and placed it in my own JavaScript function, which I then
used as my onHide callback. Again, I experience the same unwanted
result, the label and tooltip are updated, but the requests start to
multiply.
I tried placing the remoteCommand in different locations
(outside the menu, inside it's own form etc). It doesn't make a
difference. The problem is still encountered.
I tried simplifying the SelectManyCheckbox scenario (remove
tooltip, coverter, tweak various attributes etc) to eliminate other
possibilities. No difference.
I tried a p:ajax instead of p:remoteCommand using onchange.
The Ajax requests work fine but obviously it's not what I am after.
I need to trigger it onHide.
Instead of a SelectCheckboxMenu , i tried using a
SelectManyCheckbox (no label) with onchange and keeping everything
else the same. The remoteCommand works fine, the Ajax call gets
called once and everything is nice and dandy. [/list] [list] * I
tried the PrimeFaces 3.5-SNAPSHOT as well. No difference. Issue is
still manifested.
Haven't found any clues on the forum or the net thus far in regards
to this issue. Does this sound like a bug or programmer clumsiness
:roll: ? Of course any insight and/or suggestions are highly
appreciated.
I have run into similar problems when using p:remoteCommand. I can't say for sure that the root cause is the same in your case, but maybe this can help somewhat.
In my case the problem was caused by multiplied registering of jquery bindings; the p:remoteCommand seem not to use $(somesource).off("some_event").on("some_event", some_function). That means - as far as I have understood - that if you update the component containing the p:remoteCommand, it's action will be registered over and over again, each time it's being updated. That in turn will mean that if you call on the name of the p:remoteCommand, it will fire the same amount of times as it's been registered.
You said you'd tried to move it outside and still got the same problem, so maybe it's not this problem after all. In my case I tested this assumption using a p:commandLink instead and had that call the backing bean. The goal for me was to make sure that any previous registration of a binding was removed, so through registering the binding like mentioned above:
$(somesource).off("some_event").on("some_event", some_function), and let some_function click the link, you can at least check if it solves the problem.
I am developing web application using A4J, Richfaces.
One of my requirement is, I need to check if the user has changed any values in the form when he is trying navigate away from the page.
I have save and cancel buttons in the page.
I am using a4j:command button for cancel functionality. Clicking on cancel button should do below things
Check if the user has modified anything in the form (this I am doing by using javascript and have a flag if user changed any values)
Display confirmation box (javascript confirm with values "Do you really want to discard the changes -- YES NO") when user changes form values
If user says YES, then submit the form using AJAX (by using A4J)
My a4j command button code is like this
<a4j:commandButton action="MyClass.cancel_action"
onclick="checkIsPageChanged()"/>
The issue here is, while using using a4j:commandButton, I cannot call the intermediate javascript function (the function which checks if user has updated any values and displays confirmation box) and then submit the request using ajax.
I have looked at the code generated by JSF and the code is like (not the exact but syntact)
<input type="button"
onclick="checkIsPageChanged();AJAX.submit('')/>
The thing is when I click on button, it is calling only checkIsPageChanged() and not calling AJAX.submit().
Any workaround for this will help me.
Thank you in advance.
Use a4j:jsFunction and call that from your a4j:commandButton when the checkIsPageChanged() returns true.
eg.
<a4j:commandButton action="MyClass.cancel_action"
onclick="if(checkIsPageChanged()) { cancel(); }"/>
<a4j:jsFunction name="cancel" action="MyClass.cancel_action"/>
To be more specific we can use:
onclick="if(!isPageChanged()) {return false}"
Returning false will not submit the request.
