a4j:form data="#{}" does not populate javascript data variable (data is undefined) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-7603 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7603 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Patch Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component-a4j-core Affects Versions: 3.3.2.CR1 Environment: Gentoo Linux 2.6.24 Sun Java 1.6.0.0.7 RichFaces 3.2.1_GA Facelets 1.1.14 Apache Tomcat 6.0 AppServer JSF 1.2 RI Reporter: Lincoln Baxter III Assignee: Andrey Markhel Fix For: 3.3.3.CR1 Attachments: UIAjaxForm.java Time Spent: 3 hours Remaining Estimate: 0 minutes When using the a4j:form component, the data="#{managedBean.property}" attribute is not correctly causing the javascript data variable to be populated. See example below. data is always undefined, even if the managed bean property is set to a valid value, the alert box shows undefined. I verified that when using a4j:commandButton, the data variable is correctly populated, and the alert box displays the value. <a4j:form id="themouth" data="#{indexBean.ajaxInputOk}" reRender="whispers,earInput,earErrors" oncomplete="alert(data)" ajaxSubmit="true"> <div class="centered paddingLarge"><h:outputText id="whispers" styleClass="smallText" value="#{indexBean.whispers}" /></div> <div class="centered" id="earWhisper"><a4j:outputPanel id="earErrors"> <h:message showSummary="true" showDetail="false" for="earInput" style="color: red;" /> </a4j:outputPanel><br /> <h:inputText id="earInput" autocomplete="off" value="#{indexBean.input}" validator="#{indexBean.validateWhisper}" required="true"> </h:inputText> <h:commandButton id="whisperButton" action="#{indexBean.doWhisper}" value="whisper" /></div> </a4j:form>
