jsf + richfaces modal panel problem

[Vladimir Nikolic]

This is my code:

 			<h:form id="form">
				<rich:extendedDataTable
					value="#{kurseviZaAkademijuController.kurseviZaAkademijuDataTableModelApi}"
					var="krsVrstaKursa" id="table" width="1000px" height="400px">

						<f:facet name="header">

						<h:outputText value="#{krsVrstaKursa.sifra}" id="sifra_kursa" />
					</rich:column>
					<rich:column sortable="true" sortBy="#{krsVrstaKursa.naziv}"
						id="col_naziv" filterBy="#{krsVrstaKursa.naziv}" filterEvent="onkeyup"
						width="150px" label="Naziv kursa">
						<f:facet name="header">
							<h:outputText value="#{registracijaController.module.messageSource.naziv_kursa}" id="output_naziv_kursa" />
						</f:facet>
						<h:outputText value="#{krsVrstaKursa.naziv}" id="naziv_kursa" />
					</rich:column>
					<rich:column sortable="false" label="Opis kursa" id="col_opis" sortBy="#{krsVrstaKursa.opis}"
						filterBy="#{krsVrstaKursa.opis}" width="150px">

					</rich:column>
					<rich:column sortable="false" label="Redosled" id="col_redosled" sortBy="#{krsVrstaKursa.redosled}" 
						filterBy="#{krsVrstaKursa.redosled}" width="150px">
						<f:facet name="header">
							<h:outputText value="#{registracijaController.module.messageSource.redosled}" id="output_redosled" />
						</f:facet>
						<h:outputText value="#{krsVrstaKursa.redosled}" id="redosled" />
					</rich:column>

						</f:facet>
						<h:outputText value="#{krsVrstaKursa.fondCasova}" id="fondCasova" />
					</rich:column>
					<rich:column sortable="true" sortBy="#{krsVrstaKursa.redosled}"
						id="col_1" filterBy="#{krsVrstaKursa.maxBrojPolaznika}"
						filterEvent="onkeyup" width="150px" label="Max broj polaznika">
						<f:facet name="header">

						<h:outputText value="#{krsVrstaKursa.maxBrojPolaznika}" id="maxBrojPolaznika" />
					</rich:column>
					<rich:column width="80px" label="edit">

						</f:facet>
						<h:commandLink actionListener="#{kurseviZaAkademijuController.ucitajKurs}" immediate="true" >
							<h:graphicImage value="/images/icons/application_view_list.png" id="izmena" />
						</h:commandLink>
						<rich:componentControl for="panelPromeni" attachTo="izmena" operation="show" event="onclick"/>
					</rich:column>
				</rich:extendedDataTable>
			</h:form>   

My idea is that i have a link in one column, when i click on it, it opens up a model panel. What i want is for that panel to be populated with data, so i need to call method from backing bean (#{kurseviZaAkademijuController.ucitajKurs}). The problem is that a modal panel is opened before the method is called (and after the method is called there is a refresh). Is there any way to achieve what i want?

try to do the following

event="oncomplete"

inside your rich:componentControl tag

[Vladimir Nikolic]

nope, now the panel is not showing

[Sumeet Singh Aryan]

use the following

oncomplete="Richfaces.showModalPanel('panelPromeni')"

inside h:commandLink

remove the rich:componentControl

this works fine in my case

[Vladimir Nikolic]

eclipse says there is no oncomplete atribute for h:commandLink, i still tried it and it doesn't work (still no panel opening, i looked at the source, there is no code for show). I'm using jsf 1.2 maybe that is a problem?

[Sumeet Singh Aryan]

I am using Eclipse Ganymede and JSF 2.0 and richfaces 3.3.3 CR1

Please move on JSF 2.0, many bugs have been fixed and many new features has been introduced.

All the best

oh it should be a4j:commandLink , now everything is in order, now the problem is there is still no data in panel (when the page is rendered there is no data in backing bean) so i need to refresh the panel (just panel). There is onshow, but i don't now what to put in there

[Sumeet Singh Aryan]

yes your are right.. it is a4j:commandLink

use rerender property of a4j:commandLink also to rerender the form inside the modal panel. This is mandatory case. If you need clarification for this, feel free to ask

[Vladimir Nikolic]

yeah it works, thank you very much

see this is the power of team work
