An Introduction To JBoss RichFaces

It's not that you can't use, you can use the beta version. This is how the versioning works:

Eclipse 3.3 --> JBoss Tools 2.1.2
Eclipse 3.4 --> JBoss Tools 3.0.0 beta 1

yes i do, right before  <rich:modalPanel id="anunedit"> .  When i click the "save" button the tomcat gets an exception that says "can't find "save" method..

Hi Max,

   I add tag <a4j:keepAlive beanName="userBean"/> after the line <a4j:commandButton value="Edit"...

Now when I click Save app doesn't throw an exception but new value form fields is not saved.

There is one thing. Whitout tag <a4j:keepAlive beanName="userBean"/> and  changing bean scope from request to session, changes were present but after when I refreshed web page.

Can you help or suggest some solution?

Regards,

Hi. What version of JBoss AS are you using? I am using JBoss 4.2, and I cannot get the @PostConstruct method to fire on a simple managed bean. There are no EJBs involved. Just a simple pojo, configured as a managed bean, with one annotated method that has @PostConstruct. I have tried with both request and session scoped beans, but the message that I print to the log never shows up.

 Thanks so much.

Hi!

 Thanks for the thorough introduction which gave me a good start. I'm expanding the modal panel functionality to behave like a wizard. That means when clicking on the edit button the first page of the modal panel opens, there I can either close the panel or proceed to the next page within the modal panel by clicking the respective button. Now when i close the panel and click another items edit button the panels last page gets displayed instead of the first page. Also the lasts pages values are not refreshed. I've been searching for a solution for several hours now. Do you have any hint for me?

 Thank your very much!

Thanks for the quick reply!

 I found another interesting post solving the modal panel navigation/ refresh problem described in my first post. In case anyone is interested:

http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4062036#4062036

Whoops, never mind.

 I have one of these unzipping programs that won't zip all things out by default if you have an item highlighted, so it seems I missed the lib/ folder!

In my Intranet application I use RichFaces with RestFaces and I use keepAlive tag for my backing beans. All it is ok, but I am afraid of memory overflow because of:

KeepAlive - serializes and stores request beans IN SESSION and restores it after request. ( http://www.jroller.com/a4j/ )

I saw that You used keepAlive tag in Your example. What do You think?

Best regards

Thanks a lot. Yes, I am talking about a memory leak.

But,  there is timeout for a conversation in Seam. Is there timeout for "keepAlive objects"? When does JSF(RichFaces) remove old "keepAlive objects"? If it is the answer: when session timeout happens, I think that is not good for memory resources. It is very important.

hi Max,

 What about the delete part of your tutorial? Using this example:

http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/dataTable.jsf?tab=editDataTable&cid=1049955

it seems that in order to delete a row we need to add rowKeyVar="row"to the databatable and on the delete button

<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{row}" target="#{dataTableScrollerBean.currentRow}" />

 My question is what type should currentRow be in the backing bean? Can you give us a quick example on how to delete a row.

Thanks

Thanks Max,

 I managed to fid the solution myself. Changes:

 on delete button/link:

<a4j:commandLink ajaxSingle="true" id="deletelink" oncomplete="#{rich:component('deletePanel')}.show()">
                    <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{obj}" target="#{tableDataSource.selectedRow}"/>
</a4j:commandLink>

 actionListener="#{backingBean.delete}"

and finally backingBean.delete:

 this.getTableDataSource().remove(this.selectedRow);

 works like a charm :-)

Any downsides to my solution?

Thanks :-)
