p:commandButton wait for p:dialog close

[leofigs]

Hello,

I am trying without success to call an dialog from a p:commandButton and execute the action after the dialog is closed. Is such a thing possible?

For example:

Code: Select all

<p:commandButton ajax="true" onclick="dlgWork.show();" action="#{myBean.myAction}" value="Okdok">

in this case the button would have to open dlgWork and execute the action after the dialog closes.

Why do i need this? I need the dialog to work with a few buttons to gather the same information. I do not want to duplicate the dialog for every button.

Im on JSF 2 - Primefaces 2.1

Thanks.

Dialog has a closeListener, that might help.

I tried with dialog's closeListener but the button action is still called asyncronously before the listener complete. I tried changing the button's ajax property for true and false too.

If i put the business action in the dialog's listener i would have to duplicate the dialog many times. That's what i am trying to avoid.

You can try oncomplete callback instead of onclick, by that way you'll show/hide the dialog once commandButton finishes it's job.
