p:commandButton in p:columnGroup not firing any action

[stigjin]

I'm currently working on a p:dataTable containing several rows of data. I really would like a row for adding data to the dataTable.
You can see my code for the dataTable below. When I press the button nothing happens. When I move the button outside the table
it gets fired but the values in my "add-row" are all null.

Any clues?

Code: Select all

<p:dataTable id="table" var="code" value="#{CodeController.codes}">

				<p:column style="width:50px">

					<f:facet name="header">
						<h:outputText value="CodeId" />
					</f:facet>

					<h:outputText value="#{code.codeId}" />

				</p:column>

				<p:column style="width:150px">

					<f:facet name="header">
						<h:outputText value="Beskrivelse" />

					</f:facet>

					<h:outputText id="desc_out" value="#{code.description}" />


				</p:column>

				<p:column>

					<f:facet name="header">
						<h:outputText value="Options" />
					</f:facet>

				</p:column>
					
				<p:columnGroup type="footer">
					<p:row>
						<p:column style="background:white;">
							<f:facet name="footer">
								<h:inputText label="NewCodeId" id="newCodeId"
									value="#{CodeController.newCodeId}"
									style="width:30px;float: left;">
								</h:inputText>
							</f:facet>
						</p:column>

						<p:column style="background:white;">
							<f:facet name="footer">
								<h:inputText label="NewCodeDescription" id="newCodeDescription"
									value="#{CodeController.newCodeDescription}"
									style="width:225px;float: left" title="Ny kode beskrivelse">
									<f:ajax update=":form1:realDeal" />
								</h:inputText>
							</f:facet>
						</p:column>

						<p:column style="background:white;">
							<f:facet name="footer">
								<p:commandButton value="+" id="addButton"
									action="#{CodeController.createNewCode}"
									style="width:30px;float:left;" />
							</f:facet>
						</p:column>
						
					</p:row>
					
				</p:columnGroup>


			</p:dataTable>

Have you already found a solution for that problem?
I am using Primefaces 3.0M3 and the issue is still present!

Using MyFaces 2.1.1 on Websphere 8.

Im trying this too, has anyone come to a solution?

You can workarround firing action problem by using remotecomand...

but inputtext data is not submitted

[ruddy_robot]

OK, I have really tried everything...

this is definitely a bug.

Hi smithh032772, thank you but your link doesnt help me

Im trying to make a table like this:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Ive allready made it with two tables glued together but now I have problems to keep col sizes in sync...

If I try to put <p:commandButton> and <h:inputText> components into <p:column><h:facet name="header"></></> directly it works...

But if I put the same into <p:columnGroup>, commandButton doesnt fire and inputText value is not getting into DOM...

I hope someone can help with a workarround.

Sorry for my bad english

If dataTable p:columnGroup does not support that, then add a separate p:dataTable that contains one row that has your commandButton and editable columns, and make sure p:dataTable with p:columnGroup is updated in the bean and updated via AJAX update="..." of the commandButton (or ajax="false").

If PrimeFaces does not support something, I just do my best to find a valid workaround and go with it. PrimeFaces does a lot, but it does not handle/cover every idea/solution/implementation. You can still use PrimeFaces to develop a workable and usable solution/implementation.

Hi smithh032772,

I really appreciate your help Yes I did it with 2 datatables glued together. On for adding data and one for showing data. I think it would be nice if primefaces support commandbuttons and form data in columnGroup in the future but for now I have a good workarround.

Thank you again.

I know, this topic is (very) old, but I would like to post my solution. I used the "onClick-Method" to trigger a remote command, which calls my Bean.

Code: Select all

<h:form>

<p:dataTable id="testTable"
					value="#{myListBean.demoList}"
					var="_demo" rows="5" paginator="true"
					paginatorAlwaysVisible="false" paginatorPosition="bottom">

                    <p:columnGroup type="header">  
                        <p:row>  
                            <p:column headerText="Demo" />
                            
                             <p:column style="background:white;">
                                <f:facet name="header">

                                <p:commandButton styleClass="ui-panel-titlebar-icon ui-corner-all ui-state-default" 
                                                    onclick="headerRemote();"
                                                    update="@form" 
                                                    icon="ui-icon-plus" 
                                                    title="Testbutton"/>
                                                        
                                </f:facet>
                            </p:column> 
                        </p:row>
                    </p:columnGroup>

					<p:column>
						<p:outputLabel value="#{_demo.name}" />
					</p:column>
				</p:dataTable>

<p:remoteCommand name="headerRemote" actionListener="#{myBean.testHeaderClick}"
                         out="testTable" update="@form"/>

</h:form>
