Updates doesn't work in "composite:implementation"

[makoto1337]

JSF has the ability to easily create components using the composite:implementation interface. However, inside the components made this way, using primefaces components has proven to be problematic. For example, if you want to update some text using a primefaces "update" tag, it doesn't work. For example, if you have the following code:

Code: Select all

<h:panelGrid columns="2">
            <h:outputText value="Rate This Project" />
            <p:rating rateListener="#{ratingController.handleRate}" update="display"/>
         </h:panelGrid>
         <h:outputText id="display" value="#{ratingController.message}" />

Then you always get an error message like: "org.primefaces.application.PrimeFacesPhaseListener|_ThreadID=26;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|Component "display" not found to be updated partially." This always happens inside composite:implementations, across many components (p:rating, p:tree, etc.).

Actually, composite component implements NamingContainer. Try this update="'#{cc.clientId}:display" instead of update="display" (as workaround).

Any news? I believe, my suggestion doesn't work. Is it a PrimeFaces issue?

update="'#{cc.clientId}:display" should work, also upcoming version of PrimeFaces can work with server ids as well.

Hello,

I am wondering is there is a method that provide the the generated id of a component from the id put in the JSF

for instance :

<p:commandButton
id="button"
value="Click"
actionListener="#{button.onSubmit}"
/>

will generate an id : j_idt5:j_idt8:button_submit

I found a class that provide a method to get the id : http://illegalargumentexception.blogspo ... fiers.html

But it should be better to integrate it directly in Primefaces. Maybe it is the case but i did not find any documentation about it.

Regards,

Guillaume

But j_idt5:j_idt8:button_submit is the request parameter name to mark button as submitted. Client id of the button would be _idt5:j_idt8 actually. What is your use case?

Hi,

A function like rich:component in RichFaces returning clientId of any component would be very useful if we work with JavaScript. What is about p:component? as new feature

[cagatay.civici]

Well it is very easy to implement, why not

#{prime:component('server_id')} ?

[cagatay.civici]

Ok done, added PrimeFaces facelets helper functions. Right now we only have component function to get client id of a component given by the server id.

Code: Select all

#{p:component('name')}

will give something like "form:name"
