Jean ANDRE created RF-11950: ------------------------------- Summary: rich:findComponent does not retrieve the component 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 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: ------------------ <!-- --> <!-- 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" /> The error we got: ---------------- syntax error - [Stopper sur une erreur] - jsf.js.jsf?ln=javax.faces (ligne 1) .click();return false; The corresponding view source: ------------------------------ <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"> The generated javaScript under firebug: -------------------------------------- function onclick(event) { jsf.util.chain(this, event, ".click();return false;", "RichFaces.ajax(\"tabbedForm:TAB_CLIENT\\u002D1\\u002Drcd\\u002DcancelCreateCmd\",event,{\"incId\":\"1\"} )"); return false; } If we hard code the Id instead of the calculated one we got following error: uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: TAB_CLIENT-1-TAB_RCD-closeCmd Line 0 The generated javaScript under firebug: -------------------------------------- function anonymous(event) { rich: findComponent("TAB_CLIENT-1-TAB_RCD-closeCmd").click(); return false; } If we use directly jQuery: <!-- --> <!-- CANCEL --> <!-- --> <a4j:commandButton id="#{tab.id}-rcd-cancelCreateCmd" value="#{msg['common.command.cancel']}" onclick="$('##{activity.id}-closeCmd').click();return false;" render="desktopTabPanel" immediate="true" /> missing ; before statement http://localhost:12000/crm/javax.faces.resource/jsf.js.jsf?ln=javax.faces Line 1 If we hardcode an existing static Id, we got the error as shown the screen capture: 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; } <a4j:commandButton id="#{tab.id}-rcd-cancelCreateCmd" value="#{msg['common.command.cancel']}" onclick="#{rich:findComponent('qsearchClient')}.click();" render="#{tab.id}-tabsClient" immediate="true" />&#160; -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
