Re: Ajax form question about Tapestry 4.1

I noticed that the EventListener parameter for validating a form wasn't
being properly used, this has been fixed. (the default is still false, to
bypass validation)

I read in the docs that the default is to disable validation when

which implies it can be toggled... can it, and if so, how? ;-)

Re: Ajax form question about Tapestry 4.1

2006-08-04 Thread Norbert Sándor
What is an "empty page"? I mean does it have the expected output or 
simply nothing is rendered?


Use a @Shell component to wrap the page because @Form and 
@DropdownDateTimePicker requires dojo (which is provided by @Shell).

Yeah, I think (but am not entirely sure) that I said would add
"updateComponents/async" that I stuck in all the link components into the
Form/submit related components this weekend.

All the @EventListener would do in this instance is bind to the event
happening, not interfere with "what" happens. Your form submitting
probably
just blew away any chance of having the ajax stuff completing :)

I'm all for reducing the number of parameters as long as there some other
way to do the same thing. It's just that I couldn't get it to work in any
other way.
But I also think the updateComponents parameter could be very useful. In
some cases it could be a welcome replacement to writing a listener method
with an EventListener annotation.

Yes, I tried exactly that:

@EventListener(targets="form", events="onsubmit")
public void myListener(IRequestCycle cycle) {
   ... do something ...
   cycle.getResponseBuilder().updateComponent("x");
}

But when I click on a submit button, the entire page is still reloaded. I
tried it with my submit button's action/listener parameter being the same
listener as the EventListener annotation.
From what I could understand from the tests I made, the component "x" (as
in
the above example) gets rendered twice, once for the ajax update and once
more for the page reload.
I think I'm failing somehow to tell the framework that this should be an
ajax-only request. Since you said it should work, it could be something

Re: Ajax form question about Tapestry 4.1

2006-08-02 Thread Josh Long

Yeah I was sort of wondering the same thing, and in particular, how do
I get validation messages to render via ajax -- that is, i wat the
form to go through the normal validation routine and I dont want to
enable client side validation. I actually kind of like the red stars
and custom decorators the validation classes afford you...

i remember in tacos there was an example of employing the validators
(ie, led red asterisks appeared via ajax), is this possible in
tapestry 4.1 without some weird kludge?

I read in the docs that the default is to disable validation when
using submitForm -- since most of the use cases would make incurring
the validation lifecycle cumbersome to the user. Thats the default,
which implies it can be toggled... can it, and if so, how? ;-)

Thanks,

Josh

Hi, I was looking at the new Tapestry 4.1 ajax features.
EventListener/ResponseBuilder are really nice! Besides the new annotations I
noticed some components (such as DirectLink) already have the Tacos ajax
functionality built in which allows you to update a certain part of the page
("updateComponents" parameter), however I didn't find the same functionality
for the forms and submit buttons.



I tried using an EventListener/ResponseBuilder combination (listening for
onClick and onSubmit) to try and get the same result but whenever I click on
a submit button the form is submitted the traditional way, the entire page
is reloaded. I'm guessing this could be solved by replacing the submit
buttons with regular links and having the form submitted on the
EventListener, but it just doesn't feel right not to use submit buttons
where they are needed.



Is there a new way to do this (maybe using the annotations) or is the ajax
form submit functionality just not implemented yet?
