Problem using JSF input components with DataList
------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-716
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-716
Project: MyFaces
Type: Bug
Versions: Nightly
Reporter: Vinnie Fazio
I was using the Tomahawk 20050912 nightly build when I first noticed this bug.
I have since upgraded to the nightly build from 20051017 and am experiencing
the same issue.
THE PROBLEM:
=============
Here is the JSF I am using:
<f:subview id="results">
<h:form>
<x:dataList value="#{myList}" var="current" layout="orderedList" >
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{current.selected}"/>
<h:commandLink action="#{current.display}">
<h:outputText value="#{current.name}"/>
</h:commandLink>
</x:dataList>
</h:form>
</f:subview>
ADDITIONAL INFO
===============
The html seems to be look OK, but when I select an item (either the link or the
checkbox) and the form is submitted, the value referenced is always the first
value from the list. A closer look at the HTML source shows that all the ids
(names) generated are the same...
<li><input type="checkbox" name="results:_id27:_id43:_id44" /><a href="#"
onclick="document.forms['results:_id27']['results:_id27:_idcl'].value='results:_id27:_id43:_id45';
document.forms['results:_id27'].submit(); return false;">Value1</a></li>
<li><input type="checkbox" name="results:_id27:_id43:_id44" /><a href="#"
onclick="document.forms['results:_id27']['results:_id27:_idcl'].value='results:_id27:_id43:_id45';
document.forms['results:_id27'].submit(); return false;">Value2</a></li>
<li><input type="checkbox" name="results:_id27:_id43:_id44" /><a href="#"
onclick="document.forms['results:_id27']['results:_id27:_idcl'].value='results:_id27:_id43:_id45';
document.forms['results:_id27'].submit(); return false;">Value3</a></li>
If I change the datalist to a h:datatable I get html with unique ids and all
the links work correctly. For instance...
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="results:_id27:_id43:0:_id45" /><a href="#"
onclick="document.forms['results:_id27']['results:_id27:_idcl'].value='results:_id27:_id43:0:_id46';
document.forms['results:_id27'].submit(); return false;">Value1</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="results:_id27:_id43:1:_id45" /><a href="#"
onclick="document.forms['results:_id27']['results:_id27:_idcl'].value='results:_id27:_id43:1:_id46';
document.forms['results:_id27'].submit(); return false;">Value2</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="results:_id27:_id43:2:_id45" /><a href="#"
onclick="document.forms['results:_id27']['results:_id27:_idcl'].value='results:_id27:_id43:2:_id46';
document.forms['results:_id27'].submit(); return false;">Value3</a></td>
</tr>
I HAVE TRIED
============
- I have tried setting the forceIDIndex field to true and it did not change
anything.
- I noticed in similar bug that the user posted a workaround of surrounding the
input components with <h:column>, but that did not work either.
