[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-11365) onbeforedomupdate and oncomplete not working in Portlet environment

onbeforedomupdate and oncomplete not working in Portlet environment ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-11365 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11365 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Final Reporter: Detlef Pleiss Fix For: 4.Future example page: {code} <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j" xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"> <h:head/> <h:form> <h:panelGrid columns="2"> <h:outputText value="Text:" /> <h:inputText value="#{echoBean.text}" > <a4j:ajax event="keyup" onbeforesubmit="alert('beforesubmit')" onbegin="alert('begin')" onbeforedomupdate="alert('beforedomupdate')" oncomplete="alert('complete')" render="text,count" listener="#{echoBean.countListener}"/> </h:inputText> <h:outputText value="Echo:" /> <h:outputText id="text" value="#{echoBean.text}" /> <h:outputText value="Count:" /> <h:outputText id="count" value="#{echoBean.count}" /> </h:panelGrid> </h:form> </ui:composition> {code} The alerts for onbeforedomupdate and oncomplete do not appear in a portal environment; they do in a non-portal web environment. The Ajax XML response in a non portal web environment contains the tag <extension id="org.richfaces.extension"> with the Javascript code from the named attributes. But, in a portal environment the id gets prefixed like i.e. <extension id="A3331org.richfaces.extension"> In fact Richfaces asks for this prefix in richfaces-core-api-4.0.0.Final-sources : org.richfaces.renderkit.util.CoreAjaxRendererUtils.java line 96 by calling facesContext.getExternalContext().encodeNamespace(EXTENSION_ID)) In a Servlet environment this leaves EXTENSION_ID = "org.richfaces.extension" unchanged, but in a Portlet environment its function is to "Return the specified name, after prefixing it with a namespace that ensures that it will be unique within the context of a particular page" (quoted from Javadoc). Only, the Javascript meant to react on the extension tag is hardcoded to react on the ID "org.richfaces.extension" only without any prefix: META-INF/resources/richfaces.js line 333 : {code} var getExtensionResponseElement = function(responseXML) { return jQuery("partial-response extension#org\\.richfaces\\.extension", responseXML); }; {code} So, in a Portlet environment the partial-response/extension is ignored due to the prefixed ID. A possible solution might be to have the Javascript accept any prefix in front of the ID, like: {code} var getExtensionResponseElement = function(responseXML) { return jQuery("partial-response extension[id$='org\\.richfaces\\.extension']", responseXML); }; {code}
