[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (RF-1565) Messages not updated on Ajax requests unless message tag is after the Ajax component.

Messages not updated on Ajax requests unless message tag is after the Ajax component. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-1565 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-1565 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.1.2 Reporter: Lou Bell Assigned To: Mikhail Vitenkov Fix For: 3.2.0 One issue we've found with suggestion box that Max asked us to report, since they were found as known issues during the support case. Any messages added to the faces context are not updated on ajax requests in the suggestionbox unless the message tag is defined AFTER the suggestion box. Anything declared before it on the page fails to get updated. This is problematic for us since we usually report error messages at the top under the tab rather than below the field where it happened. See example below, a4j:outputPanel first doesn't work, but move it after the suggestion box and it functions correctly: <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true" id="componentGeneralInfoMessagesPanel"> <t:messages id="componentOverviewMessages" replaceIdWithLabel="true" tooltip="true" showDetail="true" showSummary="false" errorClass="errorText" infoClass="infoText" layout="table" /> </a4j:outputPanel> <a4j:region renderRegionOnly="false"> <h:inputText id="softwareTitle" size="35" value="#{ComponentFormController.currentRequest.name}" required="true" style="background-color: #ffffd1"> <f:attribute name="#{OSBundle['ui.validation.fieldref']}" value="Software Title" /> </h:inputText> <rich:suggestionbox for="softwareTitle" var="suggestedSoftware" suggestionAction="#{ComponentFormController.suggestSoftwareName}" frequency="0" frame="border" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" minChars="3" height="250" rows="100" status="loadingStatus" title="Components found in knowledgebase"> <h:column> <h:outputText value="#{suggestedSoftware}"/> </h:column> <a4j:support event="onselect" action="#{ComponentFormController.fillOnProjectSuggestion}" reRender="otherComponents,inHere" /> </rich:suggestionbox> <a4j:status id="loadingStatus"> <f:facet name="start"> <t:div id="componentSuggestWaitDiv" style="width:88%;border:3px #DAD9BB outset;background-color: #FFFFFF;"> <t:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="background-color: #FFFFFF;"> <h:graphicImage url="/resources/images/circle_wait.gif" /> <t:htmlTag value="h6" style="#position:relative;#top:25%"> <h:outputText style="white-space:nowrap;" value="Retrieving Results..." /> </t:htmlTag> </t:panelGrid> </t:div> </f:facet> </a4j:status> </a4j:region>
