<p:rowEditor> bean action when pencil is clicked?

[kwutzke]

How do you correctly call a bean method (action) with PF 3.5 on the <p:rowEditor> when clicking the pencil icon?

I found a thread that demonstrates several hacks of how to do it:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12051

I decided to go for the last one, the <p:commandButton> wrapping the <p:rowEditor>:

Code: Select all

                <p:commandLink action="#{insiderManager.onEditPencil(ins)}"
                               update="insider-form:button-panel">
                    <p:rowEditor />
                </p:commandLink>

It worked using PF 3.4.2, but when upgrading to 3.5 or 3.6-SNAPSHOT the <p:rowEditor> stopped to work, that is clicking on the pencil does absolutely nothing.

So, what is the preferred solution here? (ideally one that will not break with the next release of PF...)

How do you know what you used was 'supposed/designed' to work that way? Maybe it was a 'hack' that someone found by 'accident'. It (to me at least) looks like a 'workaround'. In that case, PF 3.5 is *not* breaking anything by not supporting it anymore.

Suppose I was able to replace the engine in VW Beatle by one from a Porche 911 just because the al the mounting positions etc were (almost) identical. And with a newer release this would not be possible. Would I blame VW?

I know the comparison is not fully valid, but never the less

Edit: in the orignal post, it said:

This seems to be a little less strong now with

which is good.

Hmmm it looks like you didn't read carefully. Of course, as I mentioned

I found a thread that demonstrates several hacks of how to do it:

I took hack #x.

But what is the standard/preferred way to achieve this, since p:rowEditor itself has no action or actionListener attribute?

Is it just a missing feature for which I should create a request or is there a "safe" hack?

There is rowEditInit in 3.5.
