JSF update component on every ajax request - ajax

Hi i want to render the JSF messages as bootstrap alerts
<ui:repeat value="#{facesContext.messageList}" var="facesMessage">
<div class="alert">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>
<strong>Warning!</strong> #{facesMessage.summary}
</div>
</ui:repeat>
in primefaces there is
<p:messages autoUpdate=true>
means it is rerendered on every ajax request without explicit adding it to the render-attribute of a commandLink
is there a way to achieve this with plain JSF-ajax tags?

You might try something like this during your page load:
jsf.ajax.addOnEvent(autoRender);
And in autoRender you would be able to trigger a kind of action in order to render the target component. For instance:
function autoRender() {
$(":form:autoRenderHiddenButton").click();
}
And in the button:
<h:commandButton id="autoRenderHiddenButton"
style="display: none">
<f:ajax render="theComponentIdYouWantToRender"/>
</h:commandButton>
Or you can easily achieve the same behavior by using Omniface's commandScript:
<o:commandScript name="autoRender" render="theComponentIdYouWantToRender"/>

how to handle multiple submit buttons in spring mvc in java. One Submit buttons is for Server side and another is only for Client Side

I am trying to handle multiple submit buttons in spring mvc in java. 1st Submit buttons is for Server side call and 2nd Submit button is only for Client Side call.
But here the problem here I am facing is, for both submit button, control is going to Server side . I am Using plane jsp with spring tag. Here my requirement is one submit button should work for server side & another submit button only works for client side.
CODE Snippet:
<body>
<div>
<form:form commandName="route" method="post" action="routeSave" id="route">
<div class="center">
Start:<form:input path="start" id="start" maxlength="50"/>
End:<form:input path="end" id="end" maxlength="50"/>
City:<form:input path="city" id="city" maxlength="50" onchange="mapcenter()"/>
RouteName:<form:input path="routeName" id="routeName" maxlength="50"/>
StartTime:<form:input path="startTime" id="startTime" maxlength="50"/>
<form:button value="SaveMap">Save Button</form:button>
<form:button value="SaveMap" onclick="save_map()">Save Map</form:button>
A button of type="button" will not submit a form to a URL. A button of type="submit" (the default) will. So use a type="button" button for the client side action.
<form:form>
<button type="button" name="btn1">no submit</button>
<button type="submit" name="btn2">submit</button>
</form:form>
You can try it with for Example jQuery:
$( "#route" ).submit(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
});
The event Element has additional Information to handle it in handler-Method. See jQuery Docs.

Ajax callback function with html class name depend from function position in html

I would like to pass the idname to the ajax callback function, but without write this name inside the function. Is it possible? Something like a myfunction($(this).parents('allTst'))
<div class="allTst" id="idname1">
<p:commandLink>
<f:ajax onevent="myfunction('idname1')">
</p:commandLink>
</div>
<div class="allTst" id="idname2">
<p:commandLink>
<f:ajax onevent="myfunction('idname2')">
</p:commandLink>
</div>

JSF input file tag + ajax

I lost whole day on this issue and got nothing. I know that the question was asked but it was never answered. BalusC said that this issue is fixed in JSF 2.2.5 but either it is not or i do something wrong.
I use h:inputFile tag with ajax to render choosen image in preview div after chosing one from disk. However it's rendered only once and i have to reload page to see next chosen image. It causes more errors. For example when I use SUBMIT button to send chosen image to DB, ajax from commandLink is not executed (image is saved and rendered after page after refresh).
It looks to me like ajax is broken after chosing an image from disk and followed ajax actions are not executed, even they dont belong to h:inputfile.
This is my JSF form (one of its versions because i tried so many tricks)
<h:panelGroup class="photo-update" rendered="#{profileBean.page eq 'photo'}">
Dodaj lub zmień swoje zdjęcie profilowe[...]
<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<h:panelGroup id="form-content">
<h:panelGroup id="current-image" class="current-image">
<p:graphicImage value="#{imageBean.getUserImage()}"/>
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup id="accept-container-ajax">
<h:panelGroup id="accept-container" class="accept-container"
rendered="true">
<div class="arrow">
<img src="resources/images/arrow.png"/>
<div class="change-text">Zamień na</div>
</div>
<h:panelGroup id="new-image" class="new-image">
<p:graphicImage value="#{profileBean.getConvertedImage()}"/>
</h:panelGroup>
<h:commandLink class="btn btn-default ok-button" value="zatwierdź"
action="#{profileBean.uploadPhoto}">
<f:ajax render="accept-container-ajax current-image"
execute="#form"/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:panelGroup>
</h:panelGroup>
<div class="btn btn-default change-image-container">
Zmień zdjęcie
<h:inputFile immediate="true" id="change-image"
class="change-image" value="#{profileBean.image}">
<f:ajax render="accept-container-ajax" execute="#form"/>
</h:inputFile>
</div>
</h:panelGroup>
</h:form>
</h:panelGroup>
This is fragment of the bean:
public StreamedContent getConvertedImage() throws IOException {
return userBo.convertPartToStream(image);
}
public void uploadPhoto() {
this.renderChangeContainer = false;
if (userBo.addImage(this)) {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(
null, new FacesMessage(
FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "...", null));
} else {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(
null, new FacesMessage(
FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "...", null));
}
}
injected BO methods are OK.
Please give me a clue what is going on.
EDIT:
I also see ugly iframe with some response content i guess.

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>

Command button inside jQuery SimpleModal window does not invoke action

I have created a DIV section in my page in the following way:
<div id="modalAlert" style="display: none;">
<h:panelGroup layout="block">
<p>My Heading </p>
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup layout="block">
</h:panelGroup><h:panelGroup layout="block">
<h:commandButton id="btnSaveConfirmation" value="save" action="#{myBean.method}"> </h:commandButton>
</h:panelGroup>
</div>
And I am using the following JS script to display a SimpleModal window using jQuery:
function showAlert() {
fundpickerdialog = $('#modalAlert').modal({
opacity : 100,
overlayCss: {backgroundColor:"#fff"},
modal : true,
dataId : 'modalAlert',
classname: 'ui-dialog ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all ui-draggable ui-resizable',
closeOnEscape : false,
width : 50,
height : 50
});
}
$(document).ready(function() {
showAlert();
}
});
The modal window is appearing but on clicking the Save button it's not calling the backing bean method.
You forgot the form tags (h:commandButton must be located inside a form), wrap the content of the div with tags
try something like this:
<div id="modalAlert" style="display: none;">
<h:form>
<h:panelGroup layout="block">
<p>My Heading </p>
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup layout="block">
</h:panelGroup><h:panelGroup layout="block">
<h:commandButton id="btnSaveConfirmation" value="save" action="#{myBean.method}"></h:commandButton>
</h:panelGroup>
</h:form>
</div>
Some JavaScript/jQuery modal dialog approaches will remove the element representing the modal dialog and all of its children from its current position in the HTML DOM tree and re-insert it as immediate child of the <body> in order to prevent potential positioning and layering issues across various browsers. Since you didn't put the <form> inside the element representing the modal dialog, it will end up being form-less.
You really need to put the <h:form> inside the element representing the modal dialog.
Further, I recommend to use a JSF component library instead of an arbitrary jQuery plugin. For example PrimeFaces has a <p:dialog> component for exactly this purpose. It has already taken potential nasty JSF-related side effects into account for you without that you need to write any additional line of JS/jQuery code.
