AjaxUpdate component not found with RF3.3.3 and a4j:support event="onenter"

fabmars Apr 18, 2011 8:54 PM

I have an application (listed in the RF in PROD page since a long time) that used RF 3.3.2 on JSF 1.2 and Glassfish 2.1.1.

I am migrating it to GF 3.1 using CDI, etc. I'd lke to upgrade to RF4.0 but that will need some work since some components I used have been removed.

So I tried to make an interim release on RF 3.3.3 in the meantime and restart from there. Of course I have followed the page to make RF 3.3.3 + JSF 2.0 to work together.

And it works fine except one thing. I had this in the past which worked on RF 3.3.2 + JSF 1.2:

<h:form id="productSearchForm">
  <rich:panelBar selectedPanel="#{productViewSearch.searchMode}">
    <rich:panelBarItem name="categories" label="Categories">
      <a4j:support event="onenter" ajaxSingle="true" actionListener="#{productViewSearch.doChangeSearchMode}"/>
      <h:panelGrid cellspacing="0">
        <a4j:commandLink value="Recently added" actionListener="#{productViewSearch.doSearchRecentProducts}" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="productListForm"/>
        <rich:spacer height="3"/>

        <a4j:commandLink value="Suntrip Releases" actionListener="#{productViewSearch.doSearchMainProducts}" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="productListForm"/>
        <rich:spacer height="10"/>
        
        <a4j:repeat value="#{catalogLister.availableProductTypes.toList}" var="type">
          <h:panelGrid cellspacing="0">
            <a4j:commandLink value="#{type.name}" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="productListForm">
              <a4j:actionparam name="typeId" value="#{type.id}" assignTo="#{productView.typeId}"/>
            </a4j:commandLink>
          </h:panelGrid>
        </a4j:repeat>
      </h:panelGrid>
    </rich:panelBarItem>
  
    <rich:panelBarItem name="advanced" label="Advanced Search">
      <a4j:support event="onenter" ajaxSingle="true" actionListener="#{productViewSearch.doChangeSearchMode}"/>
      <!-- and some more stuff -->
      </h:panelGrid>
    </rich:panelBarItem>
  </rich:panelBar>

On RF 3.3.3 + JSF2 I get some error:

Naturally, if I remove the <a4j:support event="onenter" .../> lines, the page displays but without what I had foreseen for the onenter event.

I know RF 3.3.3 may ot be the RF team's priority, but I'd really appreciate some help or a workaround nonetheless.

Thanks.

1. AjaxUpdate component not found with RF3.3.3 and a4j:support event="onenter"

ilya_shaikovsky Apr 19, 2011 5:21 AM (in response to fabmars)

have no app configured right now.. will probably look slightly later and in order you not to wait much - as a workaround could propose to try to use jsFunction instead. It should be called from onenter attribute and passed with the panel to be stored name for example. Then it will not cause panelBar encode but will be processed like command button (using the same ajaxSingle) so should works fine.

Hi
Yeah naturally. That's a fair workaround already. Thank you.

<a4j:jsFunction name="panelBarItemOnEnter" ajaxSingle="true" actionListener="#{productViewSearch.doChangeSearchMode}"/> <rich:panelBar selectedPanel="#{productViewSearch.searchMode}"> <rich:panelBarItem name="categories" label="Categories" onenter="panelBarItemOnEnter();">
