Refresh data table in parent window when child window is closed

[Bhuvnesh Phadnis]

Hi,

I am using Richfaces 3.3.1. Here is the problem:

I have a parent window with a datatable (recordTable) and a image (popImg). when you click on the image (popImg) a child window opens. when I click on a link (selectLink) in the child window the window closes. At this point I want the datatable (recordTable) to be rerendered.

Parent Code:

 
<h:graphicImage id="popImg" 
          onclick="javascript:window.open('LookupRecord.seam', 'lookup',
          'toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,statusbar=no,scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=400,top=200,left=200');"/>

<rich:dataTable id="recordTable" var="record" value="#{report.expReport.records}">
          <rich:column>
                    <h:outputText value="#{record.name}"/>
          </rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>
   

Child Code:

 
<rich:dataTable id="itemTable" var="item" value="#{report.items}">
          <rich:column>
                    <h:commandLink id="selectLink" action="#{record.selectItem}" onclick="javascript:window.close();" value="Select">
                              <f:param name="itemId" value="#{item.id}"/>
                    </h:commandLink>
          </rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>
   

Can you please suggest me how to refresh the datatable(recordTable)? I do not want the entire page to refresh.

Thanks & Regards,
