[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-13251) FocusManager to support complex components like rich:autocomplete

[Lukáš Fryč (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-13251?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12927212#comment-12927212 ] 

Lukáš Fryč commented on RF-13251:
---------------------------------

Focus (and FocusManager) works with any [tabbable|http://api.jqueryui.com/tabbable-selector/] input including autocomplete.

I have checked on a modified sample in richfaces-showcase using focus-preserving approach:

{code}
<h:form>
        <rich:focus preserve="true" />
        
        <rich:autocomplete id="autocomplete" mode="cachedAjax" minChars="2" autocompleteMethod="#{autocompleteBean.autocomplete}" />
        
        <a4j:commandButton render="autocomplete" />
    </h:form>
{code}

When you hit commandButton, the autocomplete is re-rendered and rich:focus then brings focus back to the component thas was focused before the request (autocomplete).

> Currently the FocusManager in Richfaces only works on 'simple' UI components like h:inputText or h:selectOneMenu but not on more complex components like rich:autocomplete.
> It would be good if FocusManager could support complex components or 'real' Ids as generated for that page.
> The use case for the support on autocomplete is like this:
> User has to enter multiple 'entities'. A rich:autocomplete is used to select the entity and add it to a list. After each ajax submit the focus gets lost and the user has to manually set the focus back to the autocomplete input field.
