[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-927) Add Ajax support for Searching entities.

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-927?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Hanine Hanynowsky updated FORGE-927: ------------------------------------ Description: For a better user experience, adding ajax support for searching entities will be appreciated. Here are the modifications to have such support: For example: Let's consider the entity : *World.java* 1- change the method {{public void paginate(){} }} to {{public void paginate(AjaxBehavioreven event){} }} in *WorldBean.java* 2- in */world/search.xhtml* : change => bq. {{<f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{helpBean.paginate()}" /> }} to => {{<f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{helpBean.paginate(this)}" />}} 3- embed : {{<f:ajax />}} in {{<h:inputText }} fields and/or {{<h:selecOneMenu}} ... components.....this way: bq.{{<h:inputText ........> <f:ajax event="keyup" render="the_id_of_the_datatable" execute="@form" /> </h:inputText>}} Remark: the ajax event for SelectOneMenu is click, not keyup. 4- finally in *WorldBean.java*, modify the create method, so that it becomes: bq. {{public String create() { if (this.conversation.isTransient()) { this.conversation.begin(); } else { this.conversation.end(); } return "create?faces-redirect=true"; }}} 5- Optional: remove the search button in *search.xhtml* That's all. Ideally, Forge should let the developer specify if he/she would like to generate these statements in order to enable Ajax or not. Example: {{*scaffold-x from World.java --enableAjax true*}} was: For a better user experience, adding ajax support for searching entities will be appreciated.
