[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (RF-4012) a4j:region is always necessary

a4j:region is always necessary ------------------------------ Key: RF-4012 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4012 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.2 Environment: Tomcat 6.0.16 MyFaces 1.2.3 Tomahawk 1.1.17 Snapshot Facelets 1.1.15 Snapshot Richfaces 3.2.2 Snapshot Reporter: Jan Ziegler Assignee: Mikhail Vitenkov Fix For: 3.2.2 If a use any a4j-component and do not wrap it in an <a4j:region>, the ajax call is not executed correctly (ajaxrequest=null in the request, empty response). This was no problem with the early 3.2.2. Snapshots. I testet with the snapshot from 20080724. This is a simple example which sets a beans value via ajax on click of a commandLink and reRenders the output of the beans value: Code: <h:form> ... <!-- WORKING (-> wrapped in region) --> <a4j:region> <h:outputText id="output" value="#{ajaxBean.text}" /> <a4j:commandLink reRender="output" value="click me!"> <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{ajaxBean.text}" value="you clicked the button" /> </a4j:commandLink> </a4j:region> <!-- NOT WORKING ANYMORE! --> <h:outputText id="output" value="#{ajaxBean.text}" /> <a4j:commandLink reRender="output" value="click me!"> <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{ajaxBean.text}" value="you clicked the button" /> </a4j:commandLink> ... </h:form> I always thought that an <a4j:region> is not necessary and therefor the viewroot is the default region - has this changed?
