[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-12566) Calendar: Client-Error on month change because of rendering richMessages that are not in DOM

Calendar: Client-Error on month change because of rendering richMessages that are not in DOM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-12566 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12566 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component-input Affects Versions: 4.2.3.Final Environment: Java 7.0.u9, Tomcat 7.0.32, MyFaces 2.1.8, Firefox16/IE9 Reporter: Martin Maier Attachments: error.jpg, firebug.JPG The Calendar component causes an client error after receiving the response of a Ajax request after changing a month or year. The error occurs only when there are invisible (not rendered) rich:messages that exists in the view (component tree) but are not rendered to the DOM. While processing the response the RichMessage-Object can not be process because the corresponing DOM element is missing (because it was not rendered). On other component limitRender="true" would help with this problem but this attribute is not available for rich:calendar. In the example webapp that I attached the Ajax response looks like this: {code} <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <partial-response> <changes> <update id="form:messages1"><![CDATA[<span class="rf-msg " id="form:messages1"></span>]]></update> <update id="form:messages2"><![CDATA[<span class="rf-msg " id="form:messages2"></span>]]></update> <update id="javax.faces.ViewState"><![CDATA[cJRAwt92Bj7eWwztx2b2ZHGkKaccSpVwhIL9tMJ6MhLaVhQjAv7W2YDSQxvk2tqrnjKEEZbDkGQKfvdEKG8UHyQ4YDvS5+bpD7hudnPksj9CzncN83fXTZhyfIPpLQSQqk80lQ==]]></update> <extension id="org.richfaces.extension"> <complete> new RichFaces.ui.Message(&quot;form:messages1&quot;,{&quot;forComponentId&quot;:&quot;form:cal1&quot;,&quot;showSummary&quot;:false,&quot;showDetail&quot;:true}); new RichFaces.ui.Message(&quot;form:messages2&quot;,{&quot;forComponentId&quot;:&quot;form:cal2&quot;,&quot;showSummary&quot;:false,&quot;showDetail&quot;:true});</complete> <componentData>{&quot;form:cal1&quot;:null} </componentData> </extension> </changes> </partial-response> {code} However, 'form:messages2' was not found in the DOM of the page and causes a client error. This breaks the functionality of the component because it can not update its <componentData> (e.g. data of the datamodel).
