How to clear global filter in PrimeFaces DataTable - jsf

How can I clear global filter in PrimeFaces DataTable using "Clear" CommandButton? I found similar question on PrimeFaces forum, but looks like not answered - the tip one can find there didn't help me. I tried to solve the problem as follows:
<p:dataTable id="myTab" widgetVar="myTabWidgetVar" var="obj"
value="#{managedBean.objects}">
<f:facet name="header">
<p:outputPanel>
<h:outputText value="Search all fields:"/>
<p:inputText id="globalFilter" onkeyup="myTabWidgetVar.filter()"/>
</p:outputPanel>
</f:facet>
</p:dataTable>
<p:commandButton value="Clear" onclick="myTabWidgetVar.clearFilters();"
update="#form"/>
It clears column filters only. Value in global filter remains uncleared. Can you help me to solve the problem?

Here is how:
$("#someFormId\\:myTab\\:globalFilter").val("").keyup();//if you got `prependId="false" , than omit the `someFormId\\:` part from the selector and leave only `myTab\\:globalFilter`
This will fill your filter with empty string and trigger a keyup event , resulting in clearing your filter and clearing the filter state of the table
If you just want to clear the filter without resetting the filter applied to your table use
$("#someFormId\\:myTab\\:globalFilter").val("");
If you want to use this code in a commandButton there is no need to use ajax (update...)
Just use onclick like this
<p:commandButton value="Clear"
onclick="$('#someFormId\\:myTab\\:globalFilter').val('').keyup(); return false;"/>
use return false; so the button wont submit your page...

<pdataTable widgetVar="departments" />
<p:commandButton value="#{lang:text('Add department')}"
id="....."
actionListener="....."
update="#form"
oncomplete="PF('departments').clearFilters()"
styleClass="........."/>
It works in my case for prime faces

Primefaces datatable has "filteredValue" option. Let's assume you set filtered values like; filteredValue="#managedBean.filteredObjects}".
filteredObjects has the same type with datatable's value which is "managedBean.objects" in your case. Before you load datatable, set filteredObjects variable to NULL. It will solve your problem.

How to update Datatable selected rows in JSF using Primefaces?

Well though this question is duplicated somewhat, I have searched over the net still couldn't find the exact result what i want. In my case im developing a project in JSF using Primefaces which has CRUD functionality. i have more than 3k records in p:dataTable. If i want to update selected 5 records, i can only update the whole dataTable(takes much time).
Scenario:
1) select the records in Datatable
2) click p:commandButton to perform business logic and will provide the result for selected records.
(In p:commandButton i used datatable updation)
Note:
I can only forced to use Primefaces. (I found omniFaces has the solution but i shouldn't use)
Pls help me out!
PrimeFaces will allow you to update component based on styleClass, using PrimeFacesSelectors(PFS).
update="#(.mystyle)"
You can use this to serve your purpose of updating particular row of datatable.
Here is the strategy:
1. Set unique rowKey as styleClass to each of columns for every row.
2. Use that rowKey at PFS for your update attribute.
Here is a short code snippet:
<p:dataTable var="mov" value="#{repeatUIBean.mList}" ro>
<p:column headerText="mov Name">
<h:outputText styleClass="#{mov.uniqueId}" value="#{mov.name}"/>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="mov Release Year">
<h:outputText styleClass="#{mov.uniqueId}" value="#{mov.year}"/>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Edit mov">
<p:commandButton value="Edit" update="#(.#{mov.uniqueId})"/>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>

selection issue p:dataTable with selectionmode set to multiple nested in p:dataGrid

I'm working on a PrimeFaces project, where I choose to use a p:DataTable inside a p:DataGrid. The DataTable has the selectionMode attribute set to "multiple". I have a button on the page and when I click on it, I want to get all the selected checkboxes inside the various generated tables. All the checkboxes bring the same type of information (they are in different tables because of an information grouping scheme I use in the project).
Since I have multiple DataTables in the final rendered page, how can I get the selected checkboxes? I tried using the selection="#{myBean.selectedOptions}" attribute of the DataTable, but it seems to get just one of the generated tables' selected options (aparently the first one). What can I do to get the selected options of all tables generated by the p:DataGrid? Javascript? Is there any point I'm missing in the DataTable behavior?
(Well.. I don`t know whether I was able to make myself clear enough - English is not my native language).

More information:
The number o DataTables generated is variable
I tried using the jsf visit method to traverse the user interface component view as shown here, looking for all checkboxes inside the DataGrid, but it couldn't find any of the checkboxes (I printed out to the console all the elements found). I think it's because the checkboxes are encapsulated in DataTable component. This made me think about not using the selectionMode="multiple" and, instead, manually add the checkboxes and a hidden input element for each one so I can find the checkboxes (or the "input hidden") using the visit method. The sad part of this aproach is that I'd have to stop using some good stuff of the DataTable selectionMode="multiple" feature, like hilighting the row if the corresponding checkbox is checked, and the ready to use "check all" checkbox it automatically put in the header of the ckeckboxes column.
I tried using a nested List in the selection attribute, but it didn't work. The main idea was using something like selection="#{bean.myListOfLists.get(t.counter)}". The "counter" variable is taken from the very object that is used to fulfill the current row of the DataTable (represented by the t variable in the attribute var="t"). The DataTable seems to not accept this approach. It doesn`t fulfill the nested lists.
I tried using the above approch with a modification: instead of a list of lists, a build a new class "B" and made a list of B (selection="#{bean.myListOf_B_Objects.get(t.counter).listInsideBObject}"). The result is simliar to the last approach: none of the lists inside the B objects were fulfilled.
Below there is a simplified view of what I did (more similar to the last case, but it's just to get the big picture)
<p:dataGrid var="gridCellContent"
value="#{myBean.dataGridContent}"
layout="grid" id="id01" columns="3"">
<p:dataTable var="something"
value="#{gridCellContent.listOfSomething}"
rowKey="#{something.id}"
selection="#{myBean.listOf_B_Objects.get(gridCellContent.counter).listInside_B_Object}">
<p:column selectionMode="multiple" />
<p:column>
<h:outputText value="#{something.sometext}" />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
<f:facet name="footer">
<p:commandButton id="btnSave" value="Save"
actionListener="#{myBean.btnSave}"/>
</f:facet>
</p:dataGrid>
[edited 2] Following #JaqenH'ghar's sugestion I tried out the modifications below, which unfortunately still din't work:
<p:dataGrid var="gridCellContent"
value="#{myBean.dataGridContent}"
layout="grid" id="id01" columns="3"
rowIndexVar="count">
<p:dataTable var="something"
value="#{gridCellContent.listOfSomething}"
rowKey="#{something.id}"
selection="#{myBean.listOfLists.get(count)}">
<p:column selectionMode="multiple" />
<p:column>
<h:outputText value="#{something.sometext}" />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
<f:facet name="footer">
<p:commandButton id="btnSave" value="Save"
actionListener="#{myBean.btnSave}"/>
</f:facet>
</p:dataGrid>
And for myBean:
#ManagedBean
public class MyBean {
...
private List<List<Something>> listOfLists = new ArrayList<List<Something>>();
public List<List<Something>> getListOfLists(){
this.listOfLists.add(new ArrayList<Something>());
return this.listOfLists;
}
public void setListOfLists(List<Something> listOfSomething) {
this.listOfLists.add(listOfSomething);
}
...
}

unselect the selected rows in a datatable

I'm working on a datatable with a single selection mode.My problem is that when I refesh the page , the same selected rows before refreshing stay refreshed.
Any idea on how unselecting all datatable rows in this case.
I appreciate helping me with this issue.
This is my datatable code:
<p:dataTable id="cars1" var="car" widgetVar="carsTable" value="#{typePrimeManager.tprimes}" editable="false" style="margin-bottom:20px" paginator="false" selectionMode="single" selection="#{typePrimeManager.selectedtype}" rowKey="#{car.idPrime}">
<p:ajax event="rowSelect" update=":form:cars2" />
<p:ajax event="rowUnselect" listener="#{typePrimeManager.setSelectedtype(null)}" update=":form:cars2"/>
<p:ajax event="rowUnselect" listener="#{typePrimeManager.setSelectedtype(null)}" update=":form:cars2"/>
<p:column headerText="intitule des types">
<h:outputText value="#{car.intitulePrime}" />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
You use a managed bean with SessionScoped ? This keep the value unchange. I Recommand to you to read this : How to choose the right bean scope?
If you want to keep using SessionScope and reset the selected rows you have to clean the selectedtype inside your bean
If you have to have a session scoped bean, you need to clear the value that DataTable holds to reference the selected item which in your case is typePrimeManager.selectedtype.
So if you set this value to null or any object of the same type that is not in the DataTable dataSource than your problem will resolved, but you have to do this before page is reloaded. To get that event you can use pre-defined JSF events ,like PreRenderView, to execute a method in which you should clear the selected value, or you can define a remoteCommand that will call the appropriate bean method and execute that remoteCommand with javascript when the page is loaded.

p:dataList inside of p:dataTable

I'm using <p:dataTable> to show the values of my files. Inside of each file is a list of metadates. I want to show each metadate as an own column beside the other columns of the file. (I excluded the other columns to make the code more readable).
So, my problem is, that with the <p:dataList> it does not show the columns. The name of the meta is the same in every metadata, if someone believes this to be the problem.
I already tried to use <p:dataTable> instead of <p:dataList>, but as my customer originally wanted to have the metadata shown as own column this would not be my preferred way, but on the other hand it is working.
<p:dataTable id="fileList" var="f" value="#{reader.files}" rendered="#{reader.showFileTable()}">
<p:dataList value="#{f.meta}" var="meta1">
<p:column>
#{meta1.value}
</p:column>
</p:dataList>
<p:column headerText="Metadaten">
<p:dataTable value="#{f.meta}" var="meta">
<p:column headerText="#{meta.name}">
#{meta.value}
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
I am really grateful for any help, how I could make the code work so that each metadate has it's own column in the fileList-dataTable.
P.S: I already tried c:forEach and ui:repeat which also didn't work.
P.P.S: I forgot to mention, that my customer sometimes don't want to see specific metadates, so it would be very nice when it is possible to do this with the suggested solution.
You can build columns dynamically in primefaces by using the <p:columns> tag see the vdl
check the primefaces showcase for an example
Suppose you have this code:
<p:dataList id="fileList" var="f" value="#{reader.files}">
<p:dataTable value="#{f.listItems}" var="meta1">
<p:column>#{meta1.value}</p:column>
<p:columns value="#{meta1.listItems}">...</p:columns>
</p:dataTable>
</p:dataList>
Dynamic columns in nested dataTable are not generated: it seems p:columns cannot refer var like "f" and "meta1".
I can understand "meta1" is not visible, because it's producing header's table, but I really can't understand why "f" is not visible at that time.
Any idea? Thanks.

input binding in ui:repeat in jsf

i am using facelets jsf 2.0 with primefaces 3.0.M2 component library.
i am trying to achieve dynamic numbers of rows including iput fields that are filled when a datatable selection occurs.
whenever a selection is made the dynamic rows generated correctly with input fields but after the first selection for following selections dynamic row count changes correctly but the input fields does not update and keeps showing inputs from the first selection.
here is how i iterate list in facelet;
<ui:repeat value="#{goalEntranceBean.selectedCard.parameterList}" var="prmBean" >
<li><h:outputText value="#{prmBean.lookUp.value}"/></li>
<li>
<h:outputText value="Weight:"/>
<p:inputText id="wx" required="true" value="#{prmBean.weight}">
</p:inputText>
<h:outputText value="Percent:"/>
<p:inputText required="true" value="#{prmBean.percent}">
</p:inputText>
</li>
</ui:repeat>
my bean where i get the list of cards and set the selectedCard with rowSelect event in datatable.
#ManagedBean(name = "goalEntranceBean")
#ViewScoped
public class GoalEntranceAction implements Serializable {
private List<ScoreCard> personalCards = new ArrayList<ScoreCard>();
private ScoreCard selectedCard = new ScoreCard();
......
}
when i checked in debug mode i can see the true list but in screen the elements does not change.
This is a common problem (gets asked every couple of days). To make long story short, inputs inside ui:repeat do not work, period.
It is a problem with JSF, a long standing, famous one. Maybe it will be fixed. Maybe not, it seems that no one really cares (I mean - an input? in a... ui:repeat? such crazy scenario!).
A quick-fix is to use a h:dataTable, possibly ungodly abused with css to make it look like a list. A long-fix is to use some iterator from a different library. Primefaces has an element that should work that renders an unordered list.
thanks for your replies. Sorry for forget sharing the solution.
As i mentioned above i have primefaces datatable.
On row selection event i render datatable and want to update the cells of that datatable.
USING p:inputtext easily solved my problem. Now i can change the data on screen and i can see the values after update operation on screen. I don't understand the reason but it works.
<p:dataTable var="orgPrmBean"
value="#{scoreCardOperationsBean.selectedCard.orgParameterList}"
emptyMessage="#{labels.norecord}"
rowKey="#{orgPrmBean.id}"
>
<p:columnGroup type="header">
<p:row>
<p:column headerText="Parameters" colspan="3" style="text-align:left;width:480;"/>
</p:row>
</p:columnGroup>
<p:column style="text-align:left;width:200px;">
<h:outputText value="#{orgPrmBean.info}"/>
</p:column>
<p:column style="text-align:left;width:180px;">
<p:inputText value="#{orgPrmBean.weight}"
rendered="#{scoreCardOperationsBean.selectedCard.goalEdit}">
<f:convertNumber maxFractionDigits="0"/>
</p:inputText>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
It IS possible to make it work, but the solution is to bind the inputs to a backing bean, and update the values of the controls in the backing bean via listeners (using the new value received in the argument). Obviously this isn't a good solution if you have a complex form, as you need to add a listener/control in the backing bean for each control in the page, but it's practical if you just have one or two inputs.
