I need to open a popup from a jsf page.

Hi All...

I need to open a popup from a jsf page.
I tried with h:commandlink.
it is working, but i m getting the old values displayed in the popup.

Actually what i am doing is that--
My application has a datatable and one column has h:commandlink (Status: Assinged/Unassinged)
on click on that i need to interact with database and open a popup which will show the details of the particular Assinged user.
in the popup in a tabular format.

i m getting the popup on clicking the Status link, but i m getting the old values displayed in the popup.
i m getting the right results if i m clicking that link again.

So, how can i get the right results in one click only ???

I think, on clicking the link popup is displayd first & the method to get user details from the database is executed next.

How can i implement these in JSf.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

If you are using the same popup for all links, then reset the values in the popup when you are closing it. It might work!

dear friend...

thanks a lot 4 the reply.

now, i am getting the popup;
but, first time i m getting the blank popup, on pressing F5 button i m getting the popup populated with values.

so, how can i get the popup populated with values in the first click only.

waiting 4 your quick response....

thanks in advance.

Can you share your code where you have problem with? So that I can quickly review and help you on this.

If you are trying to open Popup on link click try to use <h: outputLink> instead of <h:commandLink> and use onclick event to open Popup....

<h: outputLink onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com', 'WindowName', 'dependent=yes, menubar=no, toolbar=no'); return false;" value="#">
<h: outputText value="popup" />
</h: outputLink>

I am getting the popup using commandLink;
But, I am getting blank popup on clicking the link first time;
I am getting the right results if I again click the link or refresh the popup.

So, how I can I get the right results in the first click only ?

Since I have to do some process before opening up popup;
I want to invoke one backing bean method;
Below is my code:

<h:commandLink id="Status" onclick="window.open("projectDetails.jsp","",'width=700,height=400,top=100,left=100');"
actionListener="#{AdminSearchUserMB.check}"
value="#{item.userStatus}" immediate="true"
>
<f:param name="mailId" value="#{item.mailId}" />
</h:commandLink>

please help.

Remove the attribute immediate=true and try it.

I have tried after removing immediate="true" ;
still it's not working

Please share your backend bean code.

Since, I am unable to post the code;
I have sent it to your e-mail id;
please check.

thanks,
hozaifa.

Sorry...I want to have a look at the code where the mappings of the values are happening in the projectDetails.jsp

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<html>
<f:view>
<f:loadBundle basename="com.opmt.admin.common.messages" var="message" />

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<body>

<center><br>
<br>
<h:outputText value="Project Details"

<h:form>
<h:dataTable id="dt2" value="#{AdminSearchUserMB.projectDetailsTOArray}"

<h:outputText value="E-mail ID" style="color:red; font-weight:bold" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item2.mailId}" />
</h:column>

</h:dataTable>
<br>
<br>
<br><br>
<form method="post"><input type="image" src="images/close.jpg"
alt="Close!" value="Close!" onclick="window.close()"></form>

</h:form></center>

</f:view>
</html>

Does any one know solution to this problem. I too am facing similar problem.

Problem:
I have a page with data table --- I open a new modal dialog window (window.showModalDialog) on click of menu item on a page --> It opens the page to view details of the selected item --- When I close it and select different row of the table(in the first page) and open to see the details it shows the previous data.

The data on the form fields are populated from a backing bean which is session scoped. I am sure the backing bean is updated with new data(checked it while debug ). Only that it is not displayed/refreshed in the page rendered.

Thanks for your time and hoping to get your feedback on this.

Regards,
Hakim
