New TabView update problem

[iv12an]

After updating to the latest 3.0M3 SNAPSHOT I am unable to update components inside TabView.

xhtml:

Code: Select all

<h:form>

			<p:commandButton value="Test button"
				 process="innerPanel" update="innerPanel" />			

			<p:outputPanel id="outherPanel">

				<p:tabView>

					<p:tab title="Tab">

						<p:outputPanel id="innerPanel">
							<p:inputText value="#{testBean.text}"/>
							<h:outputText value="#{testBean.text}" />
						</p:outputPanel>

					</p:tab>

				</p:tabView>

			</p:outputPanel>

		</h:form>

Process and update are not working for innerPanel, or anything else inside tabView. I have to update/process outherPanel to get things done.

TabView is a namingcontainer now;

Thanks. I didn't know that. Is there a possibility to add prependId atribute to TabView?

seems to be a good thing, but on the other side it hurts a lot if i think of all the updates that i have to change if i want to move on to M3

any chance there will be something like prependId to make migration to primefaces3 less painfull?

It seems that this will harm ui experience. Most of the time, I am using TabView to divide my large page into several pages, each of which is still large, containing many input components. Everytime, when an event is triggered and a component needs to be updated, now I have to update the whole TabView instead. It will take much longer time. When I switch to M3 or later, I think I have to give up TabView. Unfortunately, there is no similar component now. Hope the update problem can be considered again.

Thanks a lot!

prependId will break tabView.

No you don't.

I wrote a simple test page. The "testBacking.add" method will change the value of "testBacking.text1".

Case 1: when the CommandLink update the TabView (update="p1"), the text1 display will be updated normally.

Code: Select all

<p:commandLink value="add" action="#{testBacking.add}" update="p1" />
<p:tabView id="p1">
	<p:tab title="andrew">
		<p:outputPanel id="p2">
			<h:outputText value="#{testBacking.text1}" />
		</p:outputPanel>
	</p:tab>
</p:tabView>

Case 2: when the CommandLink update the TabView (update="p2"), the text1 display WILL NOT BE UPDATED.

Code: Select all

<p:commandLink value="add" action="#{testBacking.add}" update="p2" />
<p:tabView id="p1">
	<p:tab title="andrew">
		<p:outputPanel id="p2">
			<h:outputText value="#{testBacking.text1}" />
		</p:outputPanel>
	</p:tab>
</p:tabView>

Please help me. Did I do anything wrong? Thanks a lot!

Environment: Primefaces 3.0.M3, Mojarra-2.1.2, Apache Tomcat 6.0.32.

I am sorry. is there any plan to solve it? or using the current design? Thanks a lot!

I also came into trouble because of tabview naming container changes.
My workaround was addressing such components with 'full ID path', e.g:

Code: Select all

<h:form id="frmTest">
  <p:tabView id="tvTest">
    <p:tab title="First">
       <h:outputText id="lblToUpdate"/>
    </p:tab>
  </p:tabView>


  <p:commandButton value="Update" update=":frmTest:tabView:lblToUpdate"
</h:form>

I don't know if it is an official solution and will be usable for final version 3.
Any other idea?

It is very helpful. I will use this way to refactor my application.
