I'm using a radio component on which, when selecting an item I want to execute an action on backing bean (not navigate to an outcome page, but to perform some action and then update current page via Ajax). Problem is I can't get the backing bean value change listener action to execute
<h:form id="one-radio">
<p:selectOneRadio layout="grid"
valueChangeListener="#{myBean.selectRadioItem}" >
<p:ajax process="#this" update="#form" />
<f:selectItems value="#{myBean.radioOptions}" var="radio"
itemLabel="#{radio.name}" itemValue="#{radio.id}" >
</f:selectItems>
</p:selectOneRadio>
</h:form>
and the backing bean method...
public void selectRadioItem(ValueChangeEvent event) {
String[] selectedItems = (String[]) event.getNewValue();
//more...
}
is there something wrong in the code which I'm missing? I've used this same structure for select many check box which is working...
Rodrigo, there's a difference between valueChangeListener and a simple method call via ajax.
Check this answer by BalusC about the difference between valueChangeListener and <f:ajax>
To solve your problem, you could use the listener property of <p:ajax>.
OneRadio component is used to receive only one value, if you want to select a list of values, use SelectOneMenu
Try to do the following:
<p:selectOneRadio layout="grid" value="#{myBean.radioValue}">
<p:ajax process="#this" update="#form" listener="#{myBean.selectRadioItem}"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{myBean.radioOptions}" var="radio"
itemLabel="#{radio.name}" itemValue="#{radio.id}" >
</f:selectItems>
</p:selectOneRadio>
In the backbean, you can remove the event parameter, because the value of the OneRadio component now is a property, which I named as radioValue
String radioValue;
...
public void selectRadioItem() {
String selectedItem = this.radioValue;
//more...
}

I have a page with a p:selectOneRadio and I want to show one datatable depending on the chosen value of the radio selection. I have the error:
GRAVE: javax.el.MethodNotFoundException: .......changeListenerMethod(javax.faces.event.AjaxBehaviourEvent)
My code is the following:
<p:selectOneRadio value="#{analysisOrderForm.selectedOrderDomain}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="choice1" itemValue="choice1"></f:selectItem>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="choice2" itemValue="choice2"></f:selectItem>
<p:ajax event="change" listener="#{analysisOrderForm.changeListenerMethod}"/>
</p:selectOneRadio>
<h:PanelGroup>
<p:dataTable rendered="#{analysisOrderForm.selectedOrderDomain == 'choice1'}">....</p:dataTable>
<p:dataTable rendered="#{analysisOrderForm.selectedOrderDomain == 'choice2'}">....</p:dataTable>
</h:PanelGroup>
The code of my 'changeListenerMethod method' is just:
public void changeListenerMethod(ValueChangeEvent e){
setSelectedOrderDomain(e.getValue().toString());
}
What is correct and what is wrong in my code?
When using
<p:ajax event="change" listener="#{analysisOrderForm.changeListenerMethod}"/>
JSF will look for a method in your analysisOrderForm bean which has the following signature: public void changeListenerMethod(AjaxBehaviourEvent e). So you just need to replace ValueChangeEvent by AjaxBehaviourEvent.
Notes:
Another alternative approach is to write a method that doesn't take any arguments such as public void changeListenerMethod() and references it in your listener with listener="#{analysisOrderForm.changeListenerMethod()}
Event change is not the right event in your case. p:selectOneRadio event should be click (besides, that's the default event value). See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/21292158/2118909
I am having a problem, I am firing a ajax event in a selectOneMenu like this: the first one does not fire any event
<p:selectOneMenu id="IdSelectOne" value="#{MB.myentity.myValue}" converter="myConverter1">
.....
</p:selectOneMenu>
<p:selectOneMenu id="IdSelectTwo" converter="myConverter2">
<p:ajax event="change" process="#this" partialSubmit="true"
listener="#{MB.ChangeOption}" update="creatPanel" >
</p:ajax>
</p:selectOneMenu>
The problem is that when the ajax event updates the panel, the first SelectOneMenu sets tu null, i can't use #form because it validates all fields and never do what I need which is show a field based on the selection of the second SelectOneMenu, is there a way to avoid this problem to happend?
This is my backing bean:
public void ChangeOption(AjaxBehaviorEvent event){
.....
}
I solved it by updating just the element I needed and not the complete panel, Thanks
I am using an editable primefaces selectOneMenu to display some values. If the user selects an item from the List a textarea should be updated. However, if the user types something in the selectOneMenu, the textarea should not be updated.
I thought I could work this with ajax event out. However, I don't know which event I can use here. I only know the valueChange event. Are there any other events, like onSelect or onKeyUp?
Here is my code:
<p:selectOneMenu id="betreff" style="width: 470px !important;"
editable="true" value="#{post.aktNachricht.subject}">
<p:ajax event="valueChange" update="msgtext"
listener="#{post.subjectSelectionChanged}" />
<f:selectItems value="#{post.subjectList}" />
</p:selectOneMenu>
<p:inputTextarea style="width:550px;" rows="15" id="msgtext"
value="#{post.aktNachricht.text}" />
The PrimeFaces ajax events sometimes are very poorly documented, so in most cases you must go to the source code and check yourself.
p:selectOneMenu supports change event:
<p:selectOneMenu ..>
<p:ajax event="change" update="msgtext"
listener="#{post.subjectSelectionChanged}" />
<!--...-->
</p:selectOneMenu>
which triggers listener with AjaxBehaviorEvent as argument in signature:
public void subjectSelectionChanged(final AjaxBehaviorEvent event) {...}
I'd rather use more convenient itemSelect event. With this event you can use org.primefaces.event.SelectEvent objects in your listener.
<p:selectOneMenu ...>
<p:ajax event="itemSelect"
update="messages"
listener="#{beanMB.onItemSelectedListener}"/>
</p:selectOneMenu>
With such listener:
public void onItemSelectedListener(SelectEvent event){
MyItem selectedItem = (MyItem) event.getObject();
//do something with selected value
}
Be carefull that the page does not contain any empty component which has "required" attribute as "true" before your selectOneMenu component running.
If you use a component such as
<p:inputText label="Nm:" id="id_name" value="#{ myHelper.name}" required="true"/>
then,
<p:selectOneMenu .....></p:selectOneMenu>
and forget to fill the required component, ajax listener of selectoneMenu cannot be executed.
You could check whether the value of your selectOneMenu component belongs to the list of subjects.
Namely:
public void subjectSelectionChanged() {
// Cancel if subject is manually written
if (!subjectList.contains(aktNachricht.subject)) { return; }
// Write your code here in case the user selected (or wrote) an item of the list
// ....
}
Supposedly subjectList is a collection type, like ArrayList. Of course here your code will run in case the user writes an item of your selectOneMenu list.
I have an h:inputText, h:selectonemenu and commandbuton. Inputtext is mandatory field and I have defined it as immediate="true". Then I when I click the button I want to pass current value of selectonemenu to managed bean. But its passig null. How can I manage this validation so that it allows me to get the value of selectOneMenu in Managed bean..
My code is..
<h:inputText id="inputSome" required="true" requiredMessage="Pls enter something"/>
<h:message for="inputSome"></h:message>
<h:selectOneMenu id="recepients" value="#{controller.selected}" immediate="true">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Select" itemValue=""/>
<f:selectItems value="#{controller.tempNameList1}"></f:selectItems>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<p:commandButton value="Add" action="#{controller.submit}"
immediate="true"/>
When you put immediate=true in the commandButton, then Invoke Application phase is directly executed skipping the phases after (and including) validations. So "applying model values" phase is also skipped and the properties of managed bean are remained uninitialized. This causes you passing null for the value of selectOneMenu. The solution is, you have to retrieve the value for selected property of the controller manually, like bellow:
Map<String, String> paramMap = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();
for (String key : paramMap.keySet()) {
if (key.contains("recepients")) {
selected = Integer.parseInt(paramMap.get(key));
}
}
So I have
<p:ajax event="tabChange" listener="#{refriedBean.onTabChange}" />
But I want to pass in the tabChange event AND an extra value that is stored on the page
public void onTabChange(TabChangeEvent event, Object obj)
How would one go about doing this?
You can replace argument obj with additional property in bean and set needed value to this property on ajax request:
<p:ajax event="tabChange" listener="#{refriedBean.onTabChange}">
<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{refriedBean.additionalProperty}" value="value_here"/>
</p:ajax>
See setPropertyActionListener
