[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (RF-8144) MethodExpression not active when command button is added to HtmlModalPanel facet

MethodExpression not active when command button is added to HtmlModalPanel facet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-8144 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-8144 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Components: component-panels-layout-themes Reporter: Achim Gundermann Assignee: Nick Belaevski Priority: Minor When I want to add by Java (backing bean) a close button - which also does a bean action (a MethodExpression) to a modal panel - to the header by the facet "control", the bean action is not invoked. Only the modal panel is closed. Source code fragment: FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); Application application = context.getApplication(); ExpressionFactory expressionFactory = application.getExpressionFactory(); ELContext elContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext(); HtmlCommandButton errorButton =(HtmlCommandButton) application.createComponent(HtmlCommandButton.COMPONENT_TYPE); errorButton.setId("errorDiialog_closeButton"); MethodExpression errorMethod = expressionFactory.createMethodExpression(elContext, "#{errorLog.clearNewError}", String.class, new Class[] {}); errorButton.setActionExpression(errorMethod); errorButton.setOnclick("Richfaces.hideModalPanel('errorPanel')"); errorButton.setImage("/pages/img/close.bmp"); errorButton.setType("submit"); errorPanel.getFacets().put("controls", errorButton); The modal panel is closed, but the action method "clearNewError" is not invoked. When I add the errorButton to a form within the modal panel (but not at the header), both actions - closing the modal panel and invoking the bean action - will be executed.
