Ok I simplified my use-case and decided to try and call the javascript
function from a button instead of on dom-loaded (parhaps something there is
messing with it). Moreover I discovered that I mistakinly assumed that I
needed to include the t:zone as parameter to the url. Moreover I changed the
ajax-get to a post so it is exactly in line with the request performed
through the actionlink.
so :
new Ajax.Request('/thepage.refreshzone?t:zone=zone1;t:ac=/id-1-66590/', {
method:'get' });
gets:
new Ajax.Request('/thepage.refreshzone?:ac=/id-1-66590/', { method:'post'
});
now the method onActionFromRefreshZone is correctly called but the returned
component (a subclass of AbstractTab) is not rendered. The strange thing is
that as far as I can tell the callstack is exactly the same as when called
with an actionlink (in which case the component is rendered)
For instance, in both cases abstractTab.setupRender() is called, etc.
public AbstractTab onActionFromRefreshZone() {
nrOfReqs ++;
if (!request.isXHR()) {
return null;
}
return curTab;
}
Anyone have any clue why this might be happening?
