Growl and Ajax update problem

[MikeK]

I am using p:growl to display both validation and a "save successful" message. It works like this.

1) User attempts to save record but has a validation error. Growl displays the validation error.

2) User corrects error and saves. The save successful message displays but the validation error message is not removed.

If I use a non ajax command it works properly but that causes other problems. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?

Code: Select all

 <p:growl id="message" sticky="true" />

<p:commandButton value="Save" action="#{prop.save}" update="message goal" />

SHORT VERSION:
How to I clear out old growl messages with an ajax call?

In case anyone else has the same problem here is a hack that will fix it. The example works for up to 10 growls. It will remove the old messages and display only the new ones.

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" >

function disableField (id) {
document.getElementById(id).disabled = true;
document.getElementById(id).value = "";
}

function growlFix() {
    disableField(gritter-item-1);
    disableField(gritter-item-2);
    disableField(gritter-item-3);
    disableField(gritter-item-4);
    disableField(gritter-item-5);
    disableField(gritter-item-6);
    disableField(gritter-item-7);
    disableField(gritter-item-8);
    disableField(gritter-item-9);
    disableField(gritter-item-10);
 }
</script>

  <p:commandButton value="Save" action="#{prop.save}"   update="message goal " onclick="javascript:growlFix();"/>

I wish the default would work the same as p:messages or a non Ajax update to growl but at least I can keep using those slick looking Growl messages with this setup.

3.0's growl automatically removes previous messages before showing new ones when updated with ajax;

Great news! I know we gripe a lot on this forum so I just wanted to say thanks for the upgrade and keeping us informed.

Thanks for your feedback that initiated this enhancement.

Is it posible to deactivate the behaviour of removing old messages in growl?
Lets say that the lifetime of each message is 3 seconds, what I want to do is something like this:

time (seconds) - event
0 - show message 1
1 - show message 2
2 -
3 - hide message 1
4 - hide message 2

Thanks! Matias
