Michael B commented on RF-13776:
--------------------------------
[~bleathem] yes, I can confirm that changing either the parent or child id to
s.th. completely different solves the problem.
But just to make sure: changing the ids of course is a valid workaround, but I
think no one can guess that similar ids can lead to such problems, - especially
when having no exception, no log, no nothing to work with - except for the
fact, that your actionListener is never invoked...
But back to the point, there was s.th. I found during debugging that would
support your idea that maybe the relevant code only identifies RichFaces
components: when you debug a little further there is that function call to
*richfaces.$(this)* in the code snippet "searchForComponentRootOrReturn"
Here is the function:
{code:title=richfaces.$|borderStyle=solid}
richfaces.$ = function(source) {
var element = richfaces.getDomElement( source );
if(element)
{
return( element[richfaces.RICH_CONTAINER] || {} )["component"]
}
};
{code}
In the example "source" (and also "element") is the selectBooleanCheckbox which
does not have the attribute for "richfaces.RICH_CONTAINER", thus this function
returns "undefined", which in turn may lead to the calling function continuing
its search for a valid parent.
If I have the next time slot for bug tracing I will also try the two things you
mentioned. Meanwhile looking at this function(s) should give you a good
starting point for reproducing the problem.
> a4j:ajax problem with hierarchical component IDs
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RF-13776
> URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-13776
> Project: RichFaces
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
> Components: component-a4j-core
> Affects Versions: 4.3.7
> Environment: RichFaces 4.3.7
> Mojarra 2.1.29
> Java 7 Update 67 (x64)
> Tomcat 7.0.52 (x64)
> Reporter: Michael B
>
> First of all: this is a bug report related to RF-12616.
> The actionListener of an a4j:ajax-enhanced component is not invoked on the
> server side. In a nutshell the problem is due to the request parameter
> "javax.faces.source" not matching the id of the component for which the
> AjaxBehaviorEvent is bound.
> The problem occurs when you assign hierarchical component ids in your xhtml.
> Here is a condensed snippet xhtml illustrating the problem:
> {code:title=Snippet|borderStyle=solid}
> <rich:treeNode id="treeNode">
> <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="treeNodeSelectBox">
> <a4j:ajax event="click" execute="@this"
> listener="#{someManagedBean.onCheckboxClick}" />
> </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
> </rich:treeNode>
> {code}
> As you can see, the id of the selectBooleanCheckbox begins with the id of the
> treeNode.
> The RichFaces JavaScript handler introduced a function to obviously evaluate
> the correct component id for the event (which is then passed as request
> parameter 'javax.faces.source' in the AJAX request).
> {code:title=RichFaces JS-Snippet|borderStyle=solid}
> richfaces.ajax = function(source, event, options) {
> var options = options || {};
>
> var sourceId = getSourceId(source, options);
> var sourceElement = getSourceElement(source);
>
> // event source re-targeting finds a RichFaces component root
> // to setup javax.faces.source correctly - RF-12616)
> if (sourceElement) {
> source = searchForComponentRootOrReturn(sourceElement);
> }
>
> ...
> /*
> * Returns RichFaces component root for given element in the list of
> ancestors of sourceElement.
> * Otherwise returns sourceElement if RichFaces component root can't be
> located.
> */
> var searchForComponentRootOrReturn = function(sourceElement) {
> if (sourceElement.id && !richfaces.$(sourceElement)) {
> var parentElement = false;
> jQuery(sourceElement).parents().each(function() {
> if (this.id && sourceElement.id.indexOf(this.id) == 0) { //
> otherwise parent element is definitely not JSF component
> var suffix = sourceElement.id.substring(this.id.length);
> // extract suffix
> if (suffix.match(/^[a-zA-Z]*$/) && richfaces.$(this)) {
> parentElement = this;
> return false;
> }
> }
> });
> if (parentElement !== false) {
> return parentElement;
> }
> }
> return sourceElement;
> };
> {code}
> The problem is within the function "searchForComponentRootOrReturn" which in
> this special case of id-hierarchy evaluates to the wrong element. The correct
> element to be returned here would be the "sourceElement"
> (selectBooleanCheckbox with the id "treeNodeSelectBox" in the example above),
> but the code evaluates to a "parentElement" (treeNode in the example above)
> due to its id "treeNode" being a prefix of the component which fired the
> event.
> It took me a whole day to figure that one out, since there is no useful
> output neither in a4j:log nor in server side logging in a case where the
> parameter "javax.faces.source" does not match the component id. In fact the
> AJAX request is executed just fine, only the event is never queued...
> (See Mojarra HtmlBasicRenderer => decodeBehaviors and its check method
> isBehaviorSource)
