Render message before method completes

[tcms]

Hi,

Currently I'm using PF 6.0 and find out that the component rendering only takes effect after a method completion. Probabily this is related with JSF life cycle, but i'm not sure.

For example, when we add a message with FacesMessage, this message only showup after the method that calls the FacesMessage ends. It's possible to show up the message as soon as it was set, or it only show up after method is completed?

This could be useful for Dialog confirms with response callbacks. If a dialog confirm is invoked on an actionlistener, the method will be waiting until the user gives some callback, after that, the code continues.

Is it possible?

I do not completely understand your request. But there is the infamous way to shortcut the Lifecycle by calling

Code: Select all

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().renderResponse();

If you need to give feedback on user input before even looking on other inputs, the immediate-attribute of UIInput components might be what you are looking for. I know that my answer is vague, but so is your question

Take care

You cannot in the middle of an action, suspend it, ask the user for feedback and continue. You should implement that in two steps, two actions to the server. For just providing feedback TO the user, you could try using 'push' mechanisms.
