Dynamic accodion panel passing variable in ajax - ajax

I want to pass variable to bean method on tabClose and tabChange- i want to pass index of the tab that i clicked.
<p:accordionPanel id="layerListAccordionPanel" multiple="true" activeIndex="#{layersModelMock.activeIndex}" value="#{layersModelMock.layerCategories}" var="category">
<p:ajax event="tabClose" listener="#{layersController.deselectCategory(category.id)}" />
<p:ajax event="tabChange" listener="#{layersController.selectCategory(category.id)}" />
<p:tab id="layerPanel" title="#{category.name}" closable="true">
Test
</p:tab>
</p:accordionPanel>
When i test code above i alwayes pass '0'. I don't know how to get index of the tab and pass it through ajax?

As you can see from Primefaces Showcase you can use tab change as event in your bean
public void onTabClose(TabCloseEvent event) {
deselectCategory(event.getTab().getId());
}
public void onTabChange(TabChangeEvent event) {
selectCategory(event.getTab().getId());
}
You'll need to adapt your XHTML accordingly.
<p:accordionPanel id="layerListAccordionPanel" multiple="true" activeIndex="#{layersModelMock.activeIndex}" value="#{layersModelMock.layerCategories}" var="category">
<p:ajax event="tabClose" listener="#{layersController.onTabChange}" />
<p:ajax event="tabChange" listener="#{layersController.onTabClose}" />
<p:tab id="#{category.id}" title="#{category.name}" closable="true">
Test
</p:tab>
</p:accordionPanel>
Haven't tested it myself but according to Primefaces homepage it should work.
Edit
Tested - works.

jsf f:ajax tag corrupts request

Am using Spring with JSF
I have a view scoped bean which contains a function, the xhtml file contains a dropdown menu which on value change updates some message to the user and a button which calls the function. When I change the dropdown and click the button, the function is not called
Upon removing the tag
<f:ajax event="blur" render="type_message" />, the function is called and it worked fine
it same problem as in Primefaces Commandbutton not working after an update made by select box
#Scope("view")
#Component("propertyBean")
public class PropertyBean implements Serializable {
...
public String update() {
...
return"/page.xhtml";
}
}
xhtml
<h:selectOneMenu id="type" required="true"
requiredMessage="#{msgBean.getRequired()}"
styleClass="btn btn-white dropdown-toggle" style="width:100%"
value="#{propertyBean.property.propertyDetails.type}"
converter="#{typeConverter}">
<f:selectItem itemValue="#{null}" itemLabel="choose item"
noSelectionOption="true" />
<f:selectItems value="#{dataBean.availableTypes}"
var="typeObj" itemValue="#{typeObj}"
itemLabel="#{typeObj.type}"/>
<f:ajax event="blur" render="type_message" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:message id="type_message" for="type"
infoClass="help-block" errorClass="help-block error" />
<h:commandButton id="update" value="save"
onclick="if( validate('submitForm')==true){ updateProperty();} else{ return false;}"
action="#{propertyBean.update}"
class="btn btn-green btn-lg arabic"
rendered="#{propertyBean.isNew == false}">
<f:param name="propertyId" value="#{propertyBean.property.id}">
</f:param>
</h:commandButton>
on changing <f:ajax> to <p:ajax> it worked, any explanations

How to get other component value from p:ajax listener when I click on p:tree

I have a problem and I need your helps!!! I want to get selected value of p:selectOneListbox when I click on a tree, but the value is always null, even though I clicked on p:selectOneListbox first. Here is my xhtml code:
<h:form>
<p:selectOneListbox id="selectRole"
value="#{grandUseAuthoritiesBean.selectedRoleId}"
filter="true" filterMatchMode="contains">
<f:selectItems value="#{grandUseAuthoritiesBean.roleList}"
var="role" itemLabel="#{role.code}" itemValue="#{role.roleId}" />
</p:selectOneListbox>
<p:tree value="#{grandUseAuthoritiesBean.root}"
selectionMode="single" var="node"
style="font-size:13px; width:100%;border-width:0">
<p:treeNode icon="ui-icon-calculator">
<h:outputText value="#{node}" />
</p:treeNode>
<p:ajax event="select" update="#([id$=privilegeChecbox])"
listener="#{grandUseAuthoritiesBean.onNodeSelect()}">
</p:ajax>
</p:tree>
</h:form>
and here is my manage bean's code:
public String selectedRoleId;
public String getSelectedRoleId() {
return selectedRoleId;
}
public void setSelectedRoleId(String selectedRoleId) {
this.selectedRoleId = selectedRoleId;
}
public void onNodeSelect(NodeSelectEvent event) {
if (selectedRoleId!=null)
System.out.println("selected Role Id: "+ this.selectedRoleId);
}
I can't print the variable "selectedRoleId" coz it is null but if I use a button'method to call this variable, I can get its value. What should I do? Thanks for reading my question!
The thing is when you choose something from listbox it is not visible inside backing bean until you send a form or do a partial sending so hence null value. Add partial processing to <p:selectOneListbox> and check again:
<p:ajax process="#this" partialSubmit="true" />

Open PrimeFaces Dialog located in another .xhtml file

I have a number of questions that are related to each other so the title of question may not be appropriate. Sorry for this.
I want to have a p:inputText and p:commandButton in a p:dialog such that when the user presses that button or presses enter key the value entered in the
p:inputText will be saved in the database. To do this I followed this example http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/dialogForm.jsf and it worked fine when I tried it in a seperate .xhtml file in which there were no other dialogs or command buttons.
<h:body>
<h:form id="form">
<p:commandButton id="showDialogButton" type="button" value="Show" onclick="PF('dlg').show()" />
<p:dialog header="Enter FirstName" widgetVar="dlg" resizable="false">
<h:panelGrid columns="2" style="margin-bottom:10px">
<h:outputLabel for="firstname" value="Firstname:" />
<p:inputText id="firstname" value="#{subjectController.attributeValue}" />
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton id="submitButton" value="Submit" update=":form:display :form:firstname" action="#{subjectController.saveUpdateSubjectAttributeValue}" oncomplete="PF('dlg').hide();"/>
<p:defaultCommand target="submitButton"></p:defaultCommand>
</p:dialog>
<p:outputPanel id="display" style="display:block;margin-top:10px;">
<h:outputText id="name" value="Hello #{subjectController.attributeValue}" rendered="#{not empty subjectController.attributeValue}"/>
</p:outputPanel>
</h:form>
</h:body>
The .xhtml file that I originally have contains a number of other dialogs and command buttons. When i used the same code in that file it does not work properly. By not working properly I mean to say that when enter key or submit button is pressed the value entered by the user is not set in the corresponding setter of the inputText in the managed bean. To call the setter before pressing the enter key or button I need to use p:ajax inside p:inputText tag. I tried to use p:ajax events such as "mouseout", "blur", "change" etc. They work for the submit button but not for the enter key. Then I tried "keypress" and "keyup" etc. They worked for both but the setter for the value in the p:inputText was called on each key press which was not desired.
My first question:
If the sample code is working fine in a separate file why doesn't it work when I have other dialogs or commandbuttons in the same file. In both the cases I am using the same managed bean. What is the difference?
Assuming that the problem may be caused using more than one dialogs in the same file, I thought of declaring these dialogs in separate files such that I have
A.xhtml , B.xhtml, C.xhtml pages which contain the actual content and whenever I need to open a dialog the required dialog is located in file such as dialog.xhtml. Being a beginner in JSF, Primefaces and Ajax I was confused about how to do this. Searching on the internet I found this post relevant PrimeFaces dialog lazy loading (dynamic="true") does not work?. But in this case, p:dialog is located on the same page but the content contained in this dialog is located in another file which is included using ui:include. I tried this but it shows the same behavior.
My Second Question:
Is there any way to programmatically open a dialog from another file e.g. if I have a p:commandButton in A.xhtml and p:dialog in the same file I can do this using
<p:commandButton id="submitButton" value="Submit" update=":form:display :form:firstname" action="#{subjectController.saveUpdateSubjectAttributeValue}" oncomplete="PF('dlg').hide();"/>
and in the corresponding subjectController I have
saveUpdateSubjectAttributeValue(){
RequestContext context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.openDialog("openDialog");
// or
context.execute("openDialog");
}
But what if the "openDialog" is located in B.xhtml?
What I understand, I can use enclose p:dialog in a ui:composition (in B.xhtml) and and use ui:include in A.xhtml. But I am confused in how and where to call openDialog.open() or openDialog.hide()?
I've tried to replicate the behavior you posted here and I believe that the cause is probably somewhere else as mentioned by Yipitalp.
Anyway, here are the sample code I used that might do what you expect (Primefaces 4):
The Managed Bean
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;
import org.primefaces.context.RequestContext;
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class DialogBean implements Serializable {
private String attribute1;
private String attribute2;
private String attribute3;
private String dlg;
public void openDialog() {
RequestContext context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.execute("PF('" + dlg + "').show()");
}
public String getAttribute1() {
return attribute1;
}
public void setAttribute1(String attribute1) {
this.attribute1 = attribute1;
}
public String getAttribute2() {
return attribute2;
}
public void setAttribute2(String attribute2) {
this.attribute2 = attribute2;
}
public String getAttribute3() {
return attribute3;
}
public void setAttribute3(String attribute3) {
this.attribute3 = attribute3;
}
public String getDlg() {
return dlg;
}
public void setDlg(String dlg) {
this.dlg = dlg;
}
}
The view
Note that I use a different form for every dialog in the view.
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid columns="2" style="margin-bottom:10px">
<h:outputLabel for="dlg" value="Dlg:" />
<p:selectOneMenu id="dlg" value="#{dialogBean.dlg}" >
<f:selectItem itemLabel="dlg1" itemValue="dlg1" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="dlg2" itemValue="dlg2" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="dlg3" itemValue="dlg3" />
</p:selectOneMenu>
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton id="submitButton" value="Submit" action="#{dialogBean.openDialog}"/>
<p:defaultCommand target="submitButton" />
</h:form>
<p:button id="showDialogButton1" value="Show 1" onclick="PF('dlg1').show();
return false;" />
<p:button id="showDialogButton2" value="Show 2" onclick="PF('dlg2').show();
return false;" />
<p:button id="showDialogButton3" value="Show 3" onclick="PF('dlg3').show();
return false;" />
<br />
<p:dialog header="Enter FirstName" widgetVar="dlg1" resizable="false">
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid columns="2" style="margin-bottom:10px">
<h:outputLabel for="firstname" value="Firstname:" />
<p:inputText id="firstname" value="#{dialogBean.attribute1}" />
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton id="submitButton" value="Submit" oncomplete="PF('dlg1').hide();"/>
<p:defaultCommand target="submitButton" />
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
<p:dialog header="Enter FirstName" widgetVar="dlg2" resizable="false">
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid columns="2" style="margin-bottom:10px">
<h:outputLabel for="firstname" value="Firstname:" />
<p:inputText id="firstname" value="#{dialogBean.attribute2}" />
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton id="submitButton" value="Submit" oncomplete="PF('dlg2').hide();"/>
<p:defaultCommand target="submitButton" />
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
<p:dialog header="Enter FirstName" widgetVar="dlg3" resizable="false">
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid columns="2" style="margin-bottom:10px">
<h:outputLabel for="firstname" value="Firstname:" />
<p:inputText id="firstname" value="#{dialogBean.attribute3}" />
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton id="submitButton" value="Submit" oncomplete="PF('dlg3').hide();"/>
<p:defaultCommand target="submitButton" />
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
<p:outputPanel autoUpdate="true" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top:10px;">
Value 1:
<h:outputText id="v1" value="#{dialogBean.attribute1}" />
<br />
Value 2:
<h:outputText id="v2" value="#{dialogBean.attribute2}" />
<br />
Value 3:
<h:outputText id="v3" value="#{dialogBean.attribute3}" />
</p:outputPanel>
I hope that will give you some clue!
I was able to solve major part of my problems using DialogFramework. I have a Menu.xhtml page, it contains p:tieredMenu in p:layoutUnit with position="north" using which I select which page to open. Depending on the selection, the p:layoutUnit with position="center" includes that page using ui:include. The Menu.xhtml page contains a h:form with id="form" inside h:body and everything else is placed inside this h:form. There are a number of pages that can be included inside the <p:layoutUnit position="center"> depending upon the selection. One of them is Person.xhtml(containing everything enclosed inside a ui:composition ). It contains a p:fieldset. Inside p:fieldset there are 3 p:dataTable. Outside this p:fieldset I have placed 3 p:contextMenu one for each of those datatables. Inside one of those p:contextMenu I have placed
<p:menuitem value="Update" actionListener="#{controller.updateAttributeValue}" />
and the corresponding function contains
public void updateAttributeValue(){
System.out.println("update attribute value");
RequestContext context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.openDialog("selectCar2");
this.attributeValue = null;
}
selectCar2.xhtml contains the following code
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid id="updateAttributeValuePanel" columns="2" style="margin-bottom:10px">
<h:outputLabel value="Attribute Value " />
<p:inputText id="attributeValue" value="#{controller.attributeValue}" required="true" />
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton id="saveUpdateAttributeValue" value="Submit" actionListener="#{controller.saveUpdateAttributeValue}"
/>
<p:commandButton id="cancelUpdateAttributeValue" value="Cancel "
action="#{controller.cancelUpdateAttributeValue}"
/>
<p:defaultCommand target="saveUpdateAttributeValue" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
The corresponding save function is as follows
public void saveUpdateAttributeValue(){
RequestContext context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
System.out.println("this.attributevalue = " + this.attributeValue);
////save value in database
this.attributeValue = null;
context.update(":form:resourceAttributeValueDataTable");
//also tried context.update("resourceAttributeValueDataTable");
context.closeDialog(this.attributeValue);
}
and
public void cancelUpdateAttributeValue(){
RequestContext context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.closeDialog(this.attributeValue);
System.out.println("cancel update attribute value");
this.attributeValue = null;
System.out.println("this.attributevalue = " + this.attributeValue);
}
The dialog opens and the value is successfully saved in the database. The only problem now is that the corresponding datatable is not updated and I need to refresh the page to see the updated value. previously my dialog was also in the same page outside the p:fieldset and I was not using h:form inside dialog so I was updating the datatable as
<p:commandButton id="saveUpdateAttributeValue" value="Submit" actionListener="#{controller.saveUpdateAttributeValue}"
update = ":form:attributeValueDataTable "/>
But now they are in two different files and two different forms so I am not sure how to update in this case? I have tried to use
context.update(":form:resourceAttributeValueDataTable");
//or
context.update("resourceAttributeValueDataTable");
but the datatable is not updated. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Primefaces tabview: set the active index on tab change

I've got a tab view that contains two tab.
When I switch from tab 1 to tab 2, I'm calling some code that executes a validation and updates some values. Depending on the result of this validation, I would like to stay on tab 1, or go to tab 2, and refresh the tabs' content.
My tabview:
<h:form id="form">
<p:tabView id="tabview" activeIndex="#{ctrl.idx}" dynamic="true" cache="false">
<p:ajax event="tabChange" listener="#{ctrl.doStuff}" update=":form:tabview"/>
<p:tab title="Tab 1" id="t1">
<h:panelGrid columns="1" cellpadding="10">
<h:outputText value="#{ctrl.s1}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</p:tab>
<p:tab title="Tab 2" id="t2">
<h:panelGrid columns="1" cellpadding="10">
<h:outputText value="#{ctrl.s2}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</p:tab>
</p:tabView>
</h:form>
My test code that simly changes the values:
public void doStuff() {
s1 = String.valueOf(Math.random());
s2 = String.valueOf(Math.random());
}
I thought that changing the active tab index in my method would be enough, like that:
public void doStuff() {
// ...
idx = 0;
}
On tabChange event, the method is called but the tabview components goes to the clicked tab, ignoring the idx new value.
I thought adding an update attribute to p:ajax would render the whole tabview but only the tabs and/or the tabs' content is re rendered.
And weirdest of all, if I change update=":form:tabview" to update=":form" or update="#form", I only receive the tab's content in the ajax response -> the component disappears from the page!
My bean is viewscoped, I'm using Primefaces 3.5, JSF 2.1 and Tomcat 7.
Any idea? Thanks.
Try to bind your TabView to server side component instance in your backing bean.
1.Add TabView component instance to your backing bean
org.primefaces.component.tabview.TabView tabview=null;
and coresponding getter and setter
public TabView getTabview() {
return tabview;
}
public void setTabview(TabView tabview) {
this.tabview = tabview;
}
2.Bind server side instance to your TabView
<p:tabView id="tabview" binding=#{yourBean.tabview} dynamic="true" cache="false">
...
</p:tabView>
3.Modify your doStuff() method
public void doStuff() {
// ...
//idx = 0;
tabview.setActiveIndex(0);
}
And it will hopefully do the trick.
i easy fix this with:
public void onSPTabChange(TabChangeEvent event)
{
TabView tabView = (TabView) event.getComponent();
currentData.setSP_Index(tabView.getChildren().indexOf(event.getTab())+1);
}
in currentdata i have property SP_Index with number of tab (first,second....)
<p:tabView id="tabView" styleClass="tabView">
<p:ajax event="tabChange" listener="#{dataAccess.onSPTabChange}" />
....
and add jquery script
<script>
$("#tabView li:nth-child(#{currentData.SP_Index})").click();
</script>
Try to keep your tabview in panelgrid like this way and update this h:panelgrid
h:panelGrid id="mainPanel">
<p:tabView id="tabview" activeIndex="#{ctrl.idx}" dynamic="true" cache="false">
<p:ajax event="tabChange" listener="#{ctrl.doStuff}" update=":form:mainPanel"/>
<p:tab title="Tab 1" id="t1">
<h:panelGrid columns="1" cellpadding="10">
<h:outputText value="#{ctrl.s1}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</p:tab>
<p:tab title="Tab 2" id="t2">
<h:panelGrid columns="1" cellpadding="10">
<h:outputText value="#{ctrl.s2}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</p:tab>
</p:tabView>
</h:panelGrid>

Primefaces Dialog Update after it is open

I want to update content primafaces dialog after it is opened. Is it possible? My example code is below.
<p:dialog widgetVar="pictureSaveDialog" id="pictureDialog" closable="false" >
<p:outputPanel id="saveDialogPanel">
<p:selectOneRadio id="options" value="#{pictureDefinitionsView.radioValue}" >
<f:selectItem itemLabel="FILE" itemValue="FILE" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="" itemValue="URL" />
<p:ajax update="fileUpload1 fileUpload2" event="click" process="options" />
</p:selectOneRadio>
<p:outputPanel id="fileUpload1" rendered="#{pictureDefinitionsView.selectedFileUpload}"> File </p:outputPanel>
<p:outputPanel id="fileUpload2" rendered="#{pictureDefinitionsView.selectedUrlUpload}"> URL </p:outputPanel>
</p:outputPanel id="saveDialogPanel">
Bean Methods.
public boolean isSelectedFileUpload(){
return radioValue.equals("FILE");
}
public boolean isSelectedUrlUpload(){
return !isSelectedFileUpload();
}
You can define p:remoteCommand which just update dialog, and call that command in onShow attribute:
<p:remoteCommand name="updateDialog" update="saveDialogPanel"/>
<p:dialog widgetVar="pictureSaveDialog" id="pictureDialog" closable="false" onShow="updateDialog()">
If your saveDialogPanel is in some naming container be shore to add appropriate prefix to match id of component.
You better refresh the dialog content before its being open
Your p:commandButton/p:ajax should have the following:
update="pictureDialog" onsuccess="pictureSaveDialog.show()"
