Conditional keyup listener on h:inputText? - ajax

I'm using JSF and I'd like to call a listener on an InputText element's keyup events, but only if the input text is longer than 3 chars.
My code is:
<h:inputText id="myId" styleClass="iceInpTxt uppercase" maxlength="15"
value="#{controller.model.value}">
<f:ajax event="keyup" listener="#{controller.listener}" render="anotherElement"/>
</h:inputText>
Now I'm checking the text's length in my listener, works perfectly but way to slowly.
Is there a workaround, like a conditional listener, which is only called when inputText.length() > 3, in other cases the listener is ignored?

you can simply use a javascript-function that only returns true and hence triggers the listener if your required condition is matched.
<h:inputText id="myId"
onkeyup="return checkLength(this)"
styleClass="iceInpTxt uppercase" maxlength="15"
value="#{controller.model.value}">
<f:ajax event="keyup" listener="#{controller.listener}" render="anotherElement"/>
</h:inputText>
javascript:
function checkLength(value){
return value.length > 3;
}

jsf component.valid first time entering the page

I'm displaying a small icon next to input fields when validation did not pass. I can do it but I was hoping for a better solution than what I have currently:
<p:inputText ... binding="#{myfield}">
<f:validator binding="#{myfieldValidator}"/>
<f:ajax event="blur" render="myfieldFeedback"/>
</p:inputText>
<h:panelGroup id="myfieldFeedback">
<div class="failedIndicator colorRed" jsf:rendered="#{myFieldvalidator.isIndicatorvisible.myFieldfailed}">!</div>
<div class="successIndicator" jsf:rendered="#{myFieldValidator.isIndicatorVisible.myFieldSuccess}">v</div>
</h:panelGroup>
With inside my validator:
private Map<String, Boolean> isIndicatorVisible;
isIndicatorVisible.put("myFieldSuccess", false);//if validation succeeds goes to true
isIndicatorVisible.put("myFieldFailed", false);// opposite of above
I'm hoping for a better solution (that doesn't use a map) like this:
<h:panelGroup id="myfieldFeedback">
<div class="#{myfield.valid ? 'successIndicator' : 'noDisplay'}">v</div>
<div class="#{myfield.valid ? 'noDisplay' : 'failedIndicator colorRed'}">!</div>
</h:panelGroup>
The field is valid upon entenring for the first time the dialog in which the form is displayed. Thus there is a valid feedback which is displayed I do not wish to have.
You thus want to make sure the conditions are only evaluated during a postback request, not during an initial (GET) request. You can check that by FacesContext#isPostback().
<h:panelGroup id="myfieldFeedback">
<ui:fragment rendered="#{facesContext.postback}">
<div class="...">v</div>
<div class="...">!</div>
</ui:fragment>
</h:panelGroup>

primefaces selectonemenu change event not working for null value

I have a selectonemenu that includes some items. And a null item for showing "please choose one"..
MY goal is to query some data when I select one of them. And if i select the "please choose one" do another thing.
But eventually, the change event is fired for normal values but if I select "please choose one" item , it is not fired. Thanks for your help. Here is my code.
<p:selectOneMenu style="width: 200px" id="positionForward" value="#{hrProcessController.queryCriteria.positionForward}" converter="listConverter"
effect="fade" var="u" filter="true" filterMatchMode="startsWith" validator="#{hrProcessController.isOpenPositionForwValid}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="#{menu['onemenu.choose']}" itemValue="#{null}"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{hrProcessController.positionList}" var="position" itemLabel="#{position.name}" itemValue="#{position}" />
<p:ajax event="change" listener="#{hrProcessController.onPositionSelect}" update="openPositionForward"/>
<p:column>
<h:outputText value="#{u==null ? menu['onemenu.choose'] : u.name}" />
</p:column>
</p:selectOneMenu>
public void onPositionSelect()
{
if(queryCriteria.getPositionForward()!=null)
{
OpenPositionQueryCriteria criteria = new OpenPositionQueryCriteria();
criteria.setPosition(queryCriteria.getPositionForward());
List<OpenPosition> openPositions = openPositionService.searchOpenPosition(criteria);
setOpenPositionList(openPositions);
}
else
{
List<OpenPosition> positions = openPositionService.getActiveOpenPositionList();
setOpenPositionList(positions);
}
}
If you use itemValue="#{null}" or itemValue="", the valueChangeListener method never will be called.
That's a better approach if you want your first item null:
<f:selectItem
itemDisabled="true"
itemLabel="#{null}"
itemValue="#{null}" />
I had the same problem.
Change event WON'T be fired by selecting default value. Why that is so is beyond me. Such things are normal usually.
I didn't find any real solution.
You should try to write custom validator and converter for this.
Try this:
Using a "Please select" f:selectItem with null/empty value inside a p:selectOneMenu
OK, I finally found the solution to this!
you need to add immediate="true" to ajax call.
Adding immediate tells ajax to ignore any potential validation errors and call the onChange anyway.
Try it.
I was with the same issue so I put the selectItem without the propertie itemValue like that:
<f:selectItem itemLabel="#{menu['onemenu.choose']}" />

How to pass multiple component values to listener via ajax on button click

I have select box for list of account numbers, an input field to enter amount and a button to calculate total debit. I want to pass the amount and account values via ajax to an event handler on click event.
Some how I am not able to pass the values entered to event handler.
Can someone suggest me, on how to do ?
My Xhtml:
<h:selectOneMenu class="RUIFW-from-el form-control"
id="fromAccountIndex" value="#{parentBean.fromAccountIndex}"
validator="#{tptValidator.validateFromAccount}">
<f:selectItems value="#{parentBean.fromAccountUIMap}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:inputText id="amount" name="amount" value="#{parentBean.amount}" class="RUIFW-form-el form-control" validator="#{tptValidator.validateAmount}"/>
Updated code:
<h:commandLink class="RUIFW-btn mar-lft-10 veraligntop">
<h:outputLabel value="#{GIBBundle.tpt_btn_calculate}"/>
<f:ajax execute="#this fromAccountIndex amount onclick" listener="#{parentBean.calculateClickedListener}"/>
</h:commandLink>
My Bean Method
public void calculateClickedListener(AjaxBehaviorEvent event) {
System.out.println("getFromAccountIndex()....."+getFromAccountIndex());
System.out.println("getAmount()....."+getAmount());
}
You're not setting the execute attribute on the f:ajax. That attribute defaults to #this, and as a result, no other component will be processed and no values will be set. This is why the value bindings of your input components are likely to turn out null.
Set your execute="#form" or execute="#this fromAccountIndex amount" to get the values updated in your bean

JSF selectOneMenu validation and ajax rendering

I have a validation on my selectOneMenu to prevent the user to select "None" item in the list.
<h:selectOneMenu id="selectMenu" value="#{bean.selectedValue}" required="true" requiredMessage="Please select an item">
<f:ajax render="toRender selectMenuMessage" listener="#{bean.onSelect}"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="None" noSelectionOption="true"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{bean.items}" var="item" itemValue="#{item.id}" itemLabel="#{item.label}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
I have my panel below and a want to show it only when my item is not "None".
So when I select "None", the message should render and the panel disappear.
<h:panelGroup id="toRender">
<h:panelGrid rendered="#{bean.selectedValue == 0 ? false : true">
...
</h:panelGrid>
</h:panelGroup>
It's working without the validation but I can't make both work.. It's like if validation prevents rendering.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
I guess that bean.selectedValue is an Integer, so try this:
<f:selectItem itemValue="0" itemLabel="None" noSelectionOption="true"/>
Edit:
Ah sorry, I think misunderstood your problem a little bit.
The problem here is, that if you are requiering a value for the selectOneMenu the value will not submitted if it is empty. And if the item with noSelectionOption="true" is selected, it will be handled as empty, so no value will be submitted. When you are checking against bean.selectedValue == 0, selectedValue will never - except maybe initially - be 0, because when you select the item with value 0 it will not be submitted, as described above.
So you are right, your validation and the check for bean.selectedValue == 0 can not work together. I would recommend you to just remove the validation.
If this is no option for you, please explain me why you need it to work that way in more details.
I have a response, it's not the solution but it's another way to do this...
<h:selectOneMenu id="selectMenu" value="#{bean.selectedValue}">
<f:ajax render="toRender selectMenuMessage" listener="#{bean.onSelect}"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="None" noSelectionOption="true"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{bean.items}" var="item" itemValue="#{item.id}" itemLabel="#{item.label}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
And in the bean
public void onSelect() {
if(this.selectedValue != 0) {
// Do smthg here
} else {
// Display error message
UIComponent component = Outils.getFacesContext().getViewRoot().findComponent(":form:selectMenu");
if(component != null) {
Outils.getFacesContext().addMessage(component.getClientId(), new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "", "Test msg"));
}
}
}
This way the validation process is not launched and the verification is done in the bean.
If someone find something better, let me know!

How to customize the presentation of faces messages

I would like to customize the presentation of faces messages.
For this,
<h:inputText id="name" required="true" />
when validation is failed, then it will be shown in a
<h:message for="name" />
However, I would like to customize the presentation call JS as follows:
<div class="notification"></div>
function showNotification(msg){
$(".notification").html(msg);
$(".notification").fadeIn(1000, function(){
timeout = setTimeout(function(){
$(".notification").fadeOut(1000);
}, 5000);
});
}
How can I achieve this?
You can use FacesContext#getMessageList() to get the messages in the view, if necessary the ones for a specific client ID. You can iterate over them in a ui:repeat. Each item is a FacesMessage which has several getters. You can display any HTML in the message unescaped by using <h:outputText escape="false">.
So, in a nutshell:
<ui:repeat value="#{facesContext.messageList('form:name')}" var="message">
<div><h:outputText value="#{message.summary}" escape="false" /></div>
</ui:repeat>
(in the above example, I assume that your form has id="form")
Or, if that HTML help link is actually not part of the message, then so:
<ui:repeat value="#{facesContext.messageList('form:name')}" var="message">
<div>#{message.summary} help</div>
</ui:repeat>
