I tried to manually link the zone to the form, but with no success.
@BeginRender
void fixZoneAjaxSupport() {
Link link = resources.createEventLink("manualLinkToZone", null);
clientBehaviorSupport.linkZone("manageForm", "zoneToRefresh", link);
}
The "linkzone" in Tapestry.init() is updated and contains :
{
"linkId" : "manageForm",
"url" : "/my/url/to/page:manualLinkToZone",
"zoneId" : "zoneToRefresh"
}
However, as the manageForm has random generated number added to its client
id, it won't be taken into account...
Even if I inject the manageForm into my page, as it isn't initially present
in the page but only after a first zone update, it's null and I have no way
to know the exact client id of my form.
After some additional search (thanks markmail!), it seems that this
clientId will always be uniquefied as the form is contained in the zone.
Anybody has a clue on my first mail? or at least on the workaround I'm
trying to find?
