[Jean ANDRE (JIRA)]

Jean ANDRE created RF-11950:
-------------------------------

             Summary: rich:findComponent does not retrieve the component 
                 Key: RF-11950
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11950
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: base functionality 
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Final
         Environment: Websphere 8 - RAD 8 - JSF Mojorra 2.1.4 - Spring 3.0.6 Final - Firefox 10.0 - Windows 7 (6.1 sp1) 
            Reporter: Jean ANDRE


The rich:findComponent does not retrieve the component - What we want to achieve is to send .click() event on a command button. We got different errors depending the tests we made such as syntax error.

The involved code:
------------------

<!--            -->
<!--   CANCEL   -->
<!--            -->
<a4j:commandButton id="#{tab.id}-rcd-cancelCreateCmd"
		value="#{msg['common.command.cancel']}"
	      onclick="#{rich:findComponent('#{activity.id}-closeCmd')}.click();;return false;"
	      render="#{tab.id}-tabsClient"
	   immediate="true" />

The error we got:
----------------
syntax error - [Stopper sur une erreur] - jsf.js.jsf?ln=javax.faces (ligne 1)
.click();return false;

The corresponding view source:
------------------------------
<input type="submit" value="Cancel" onclick="jsf.util.chain(this,event,&quot;.click();return false;&quot;,&quot;RichFaces.ajax(\&quot;tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT\\u002D1\\u002Drcd\\u002DcancelCreateCmd\&quot;,event,{\&quot;incId\&quot;:\&quot;1\&quot;} )&quot;);return false;" name="tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT-1-rcd-cancelCreateCmd" id="tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT-1-rcd-cancelCreateCmd">

The generated javaScript under firebug:
--------------------------------------
function onclick(event) {
jsf.util.chain(this, event, ".click();return false;", "RichFaces.ajax(\"tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT\\u002D1\\u002Drcd\\u002DcancelCreateCmd\",event,{\"incId\":\"1\"} )");
return false;
}

If we hard code the Id instead of the calculated one we got following error:

uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: TAB_CLIENT-1-TAB_RCD-closeCmd

Line 0


The generated javaScript under firebug:
--------------------------------------
function anonymous(event) {
rich:
findComponent("TAB_CLIENT-1-TAB_RCD-closeCmd").click();
return false;
}

If we use directly jQuery:

<!--            -->
<!--   CANCEL   -->
<!--            -->
<a4j:commandButton id="#{tab.id}-rcd-cancelCreateCmd"
                value="#{msg['common.command.cancel']}"
              onclick="$('##{activity.id}-closeCmd').click();return false;"
               render="desktopTabPanel"
            immediate="true" />

If we hardcode an existing static Id, we got the error as shown the screen capture:

function onclick(event) {
jsf.util.chain(this, event, "org.richfaces.component.UICommandButton at 39de2ca.click();", "RichFaces.ajax(\"tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT\\u002D1\\u002Drcd\\u002DcancelCreateCmd\",event,{\"incId\":\"1\"} )");
return false;
}

<a4j:commandButton id="#{tab.id}-rcd-cancelCreateCmd"
		value="#{msg['common.command.cancel']}"
	      onclick="#{rich:findComponent('qsearchClient')}.click();"
	       render="#{tab.id}-tabsClient"
	    immediate="true" />&#160;
