rich:findComponent does not retrieve the component for multiply-nested, dynamically generated tab components ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: RF-11950 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11950 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: base functionality Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Final Environment: Websphere 8 - RAD 8 - JSF Mojorra 2.1.4 - Spring 3.0.6 Final - Firefox 10.0 - Windows 7 (6.1 sp1) Reporter: Jean ANDRE Fix For: 4.Future Attachments: index.xhtml, index.xhtml, listClient.xhtml, NestedWeb_RF-11950.zip, requestClientDocument.xhtml, requestClientDocument.xhtml, tabsClient.xhtml, tabsClient.xhtml The rich:findComponent does not retrieve the component - What we want to achieve is to send .click() event on a command button. We got different errors depending the tests we made such as syntax error. The involved code: ------------------ {code} <!-- --> <!-- CANCEL --> <!-- --> <a4j:commandButton id="#{tab.id}-rcd-cancelCreateCmd" value="#{msg['common.command.cancel']}" onclick="#{rich:findComponent('#{activity.id}-closeCmd')}.click();;return false;" render="#{tab.id}-tabsClient" immediate="true" /> {code} The error we got: ---------------- {code} syntax error - [Stopper sur une erreur] - jsf.js.jsf?ln=javax.faces (ligne 1) .click();return false; {code} The corresponding view source: ------------------------------ {code} <input type="submit" value="Cancel" onclick="jsf.util.chain(this,event,&quot;.click();return false;&quot;, &quot;RichFaces.ajax( \&quot;tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT\\u002D1\\u002Drcd\\u002DcancelCreateCmd\&quot;,event,{\&quot;incId\&quot;:\&quot;1\&quot;} )&quot;); return false;" name="tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT-1-rcd-cancelCreateCmd" id="tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT-1-rcd-cancelCreateCmd"> {code} The generated javaScript under firebug: -------------------------------------- {code} function onclick(event) { jsf.util.chain(this, event, ".click();return false;", "RichFaces.ajax(\"tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT\\u002D1\\u002Drcd\\u002DcancelCreateCmd\",event,{\"incId\":\"1\"} )"); return false; } {code} If we hard code the Id instead of the calculated one we got following error: {code} uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: TAB_CLIENT-1-TAB_RCD-closeCmd Line 0 {code} The generated javaScript under firebug: -------------------------------------- {code} function anonymous(event) { rich: findComponent("TAB_CLIENT-1-TAB_RCD-closeCmd").click(); return false; } {code} If we use directly jQuery: {code} <!-- --> <!-- CANCEL --> <!-- --> <a4j:commandButton id="#{tab.id}-rcd-cancelCreateCmd" value="#{msg['common.command.cancel']}" onclick="$('##{activity.id}-closeCmd').click();return false;" render="desktopTabPanel" immediate="true" /> {code} {code} missing ; before statement http://localhost:12000/crm/javax.faces.resource/jsf.js.jsf?ln=javax.faces Line 1 {code} If we hardcode an existing static Id, we got the error as shown the screen capture: {code} function onclick(event) { jsf.util.chain(this, event, &quot;org.richfaces.component.UICommandButton(a)39de2ca.click();&quot;, "RichFaces.ajax(\"tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT\\u002D1\\u002Drcd\\u002DcancelCreateCmd\",event,{\"incId\":\"1\"} )"); return false; } {code} {code} <a4j:commandButton id="#{tab.id}-rcd-cancelCreateCmd" value="#{msg['common.command.cancel']}" onclick="#{rich:findComponent('qsearchClient')}.click();" render="#{tab.id}-tabsClient" immediate="true" />&#160; {code}
