Hanine Hanynowsky created FORGE-927: --------------------------------------- Summary: Add Ajax support for Searching entities. Key: FORGE-927 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-927 Project: Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Scaffold Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Alpha4 Environment: Any Reporter: Hanine Hanynowsky Priority: Optional 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 => <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: <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: 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 speicify if he/she would like to generate these statements in order to enable Ajax or not. Example: scaffold-x from World.java --enableAjax true -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
