[Hanine Hanynowsky (JIRA)]

Hanine Hanynowsky updated FORGE-927:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
For a better user experience, adding ajax support for searching entities will be appreciated.
Here are the modifications to have such support:
For example: Let's consider the entity : *World.java*

1- change the method {{public void paginate(){} }} to {{public void paginate(AjaxBehavioreven event){} }} in *WorldBean.java*

2- in */world/search.xhtml* : change =>  
bq. {{<f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{helpBean.paginate()}" />   }}
to => 
{{<f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{helpBean.paginate(this)}" />}}

3- embed : {{<f:ajax />}} in {{<h:inputText }} fields and/or {{<h:selecOneMenu}} ... components.....this way:

bq.{{<h:inputText ........>
<f:ajax event="keyup" render="the_id_of_the_datatable"									execute="@form" />	
</h:inputText>}}

Remark: the ajax event for SelectOneMenu is click, not keyup.

4- finally in *WorldBean.java*, modify the create method, so that it becomes:

bq. {{public String create() {

		if (this.conversation.isTransient()) {
			this.conversation.begin();
		} else {
			this.conversation.end();
		}
		return "create?faces-redirect=true";
	}}}

5- Optional: remove the search button in *search.xhtml*
That's all. 

Ideally, Forge should let the developer specify if he/she would like to generate these statements in order to enable Ajax or not. Example:

{{*scaffold-x from World.java --enableAjax true*}}

scaffold-x from World.java --enableAjax true
