List in autoComplete not mirroring same list in a p:selectOneMenu/f:selectItems

[fredmv]

Hi all,

Weird issue here and I'm probably just overlooking something, but:


Firstly:

• PrimeFaces 6.1, WildFly 8.1.0, OmniFaces version 2.7.

I have code that looks like this in my XHTML:

Code: Select all

<h:form>
						<p:panel header="Generate Training Assignment Summary" style="margin: 4px;">

					
						<p:panelGrid columns="2" style="margin-bottom: 10px">
							<h:panelGroup>
							<h:panelGrid>
								<h:outputLabel value=" " />

									       	
	                                        		<p:selectOneMenu id="tarSelect" value="#{trainingAlterView.selectedTarCert}">
	                                        			<f:selectItem noSelectionOption="true" value="#{null}" itemLabel="Select Certification" itemValue="#{null}" />
														<f:selectItems value="#{trainingAlterView.certRequestList}" var="cert2" itemValue="#{cert2.certId}" itemLabel="#{cert2.certTitle}" />
           											</p:selectOneMenu>
	                                             
                                	
									</h:panelGrid>
								</h:panelGroup>
							 
							<p:commandButton process="@form" update="tarSelect" value="Update" action="#{trainingAlterView.doTest()}" />
 							</p:panelGrid>

						</p:panel>	
										
					</h:form>

And code elsewhere that references that trainingAlterView.certRequestList:

Code: Select all

[...]
											<h:outputLabel value="Certification Title(s) (Limit: 5)" /> 								
											<p:autoComplete id="autoCertSearch" value="#{trainingAlterView.certRequestList}"  queryDelay="100" maxResults="30"
												styleClass="courseMultiAutoComplete" completeMethod="#{certificationListAutoComplete.getByKeywords2}"
												var="certSelect"  panelStyle="width: 500px !important;"
												converter="#{certConverter}" requiredMessage="Cert Required" itemValue="#{certSelect}"
												emptyMessage="No Matches!" itemLabel="#{certSelect.certTitle}"
												title="Start typing Cert Title" selectLimit="5" forceSelection="true" minQueryLength="3"
												scrollHeight="300" multiple="true">

												<p:column headerText="Title" style="width: 500px">
													<h:outputText value="#{certSelect.certTitle}" />
												</p:column>
												<p:column headerText="Type">
													<h:outputText value="#{certSelect.certFamily}" />
												</p:column>	
													
											</p:autoComplete>

The list itself is defined like this:

Code: Select all

	private List<Certification> certRequestList = new ArrayList<>(); 

With proper getter/setters:

Code: Select all

	public List<Certification> getCertRequestList() {
		return certRequestList;
	}


	public void setCertRequestList(List<Certification> certRequestList) {
		this.certRequestList = certRequestList;
	} 

What I don't get, at all, is that seemingly no matter what I've tried, it doesn't seem to mirror the same values. For example, if I type in a few Certification titles into the autocomplete box, I would expect when I open up my other dialog with the selectOneMenu/f:selectItems that is pointing to the #{trainingAlterView.certRequestList} that it would be the same list of values. Rather, it only ever displays the first item. Nothing else. Any idea why this may be? Is there some kind of update or Ajax type thing I need to run to get the f:selectItems to sync up with the list being shown in the autoComplete?

I'm ripping my hair out over this, it seems so stupid.

Thanks for any help.

Most likely long fixed since PF 6.1. Have you tried a newer version?
