[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (RF-4290) Suggestion Box bug: Revisit RF-923

Suggestion Box bug: Revisit RF-923 ---------------------------------- Key: RF-4290 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4290 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Environment: JBoss 4.2.2 Reporter: Brendan Farragher I have discovered the following suggestion box bug in a different context that has been reported as being fixed by JIRA RF-923: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-923;jsessionid=691170C187DCB362DD9A... The context is the following: I have a JSP include that contains a JSF subview and a RF modal panel tag. Within the modal panel tag, I have an HTML table. One of the table cells contains a textfield that has a RF suggestion box tag associated. The drop-down list is displayed after typing, but when a selection is made, the result variable (which is a Hibernate pojo) is not passed to the setter method that I have specified as the target on the f:setPropertyActionListener tag. Through logging messages, I see that the method is fired when a selection event occurs. The problem is that the variable is null, just as the behavior states in the RF-923 bug. In the example below, the setSuggestionBoxNameLookupResult method is passed a null value when the selection is made from the drop down list. Here is the JSP that is brought in as a subview to the main JSF JSP page via a JSP include tag: <%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/rich" prefix="rich"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/a4j" prefix="a4j" %> <f:subview id="nameModalWindowSubView"> <rich:modalPanel id="lookupModalPanel" width="500" height="250"> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="#{msgs.header}"/> </f:facet> <table id="lookupGrid"> <tbody> <tr> <td scope="row" class="cellInfo"> <h:outputText value="#{msgs.findLabelText}"/> </td> <td scope="row" class="cellInfo"> <a4j:region id="findNameRegion"> <h:inputText id="findName" styleClass="LongInput" maxlength="30" value="#{bean.findName}"/> <%-- Suggestion box RichFaces tag for name.
