I'm using JSF 2.0 and Primefaces 3.2.
I'm using Facelets for templating, and I've built a 3-column layout:
Left column - mainContent column - Right column. Each column got it's own template xhtml file with ui:composition which I insert in a mainTemplate.
In the mainContent column I've got a info-button (p:commandButton):
<h:form id="mainForm">
<p:commandButton id="infoButton" value="Info" actionListener="#{faceletsAttachment.addInfo}"/>
</h:form>
But I want the info to show in the right column, with a
<h:form id="rightColumnForm">
<p:message for="infoButton">
</h:form>
This obviously does not work, because does not find the infoButton. Any idea how I can make this work? I tried
<p:message for="mainForm:infoButton">
too, but no cigar.
The reason I want to use a p:message is that I want the message to position itself on the y-position the infoButton has. If you got an alternative solution to how I can do this, I would also appreciate it.
If you are adding messages manually from server side you can do the following
<p:message id="myInfoButton" for="myInfoButton" />
and send messages from server to myInfoButton like this
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance.addMessage("myInfoButton ", new FacesMessage("My Message", "Some Text goes here..."));
also add :rightColumnForm id to update of the <p:commandButton id="infoButton"

I am using primefaces autocomplete in my application to suggest userIds to the User.Once user enters three characters into the Autocomplete textbox my UserIds list will be suggested to the user to Autocomplete. As soon as user selects userId from List, I am updating the User First and Last name in the Output Text in the following format John Doe(jd123) with a Delete button beside to this name. As shown in comments in the code first ajax request is perfectly working fine.But When I am trying to delete name that I am printing using <h:outputText/> I am getting an error which is
javax.faces.FacesException: Cannot find component with identifier
"items" referenced from "j_idt34:0:imgid".
My Code :
<h:outputLabel value="Select user" for="acMinLength" />
<p:autoComplete id="acMinLength"
minQueryLength="3"
value="#{autoCompleteBean.txt2}"
completeMethod="#{autoCompleteBean.complete}">
<p:ajax event="itemSelect"
listener="#{autoCompleteBean.handleSelect}"
update="items"/> // First Ajax request perfectly working fine
</p:autoComplete>
<h:outputLabel value="selectedUsers" for="acMinLength" />
<h:panelGroup id="items">
<ui:repeat value="#{autoCompleteBean.printId}" var="item">
<h:outputText value="#{item}"/>
<h:graphicImage name="delete.png" library="images" id="imgid">
<p:ajax event="click"
listener="#{autoCompleteBean.updateList}"
update="items"/> // This is where i am getting exception
</ui:repeat>
<h:panelGroup>
I know I can update the parent component with child Ajax request. But I don't know what I am doing wrong.
it should be safer to update the h:form component. I'm not sure you can update every h: component by id. If you open the resulting xhtml and try checking the actual id path of the children components, you will see that the don't include the ids of all of their parent's component. Some id's are skipped
However, you can try this
update=":#{p:component('items')}"
Hope it helps
After a rigorous search I tried the answer posted by andre here(Primefaces - Cannot find component with identifier outside the datatable) and hurray it's working.
like this
update="#([id$=items])"
I am using Primefaces 3.5. I have the following code:
<p:panel id="containerSelectionPanel" header="Container Selection">
<h:form id="containerSelectionForm">
<p:selectOneMenu value="#{manageContainersBean.selectedContainer}">
<f:selectItems value="#{manageContainersBean.containerList}" var="container" itemLabel="#{container.name}" />
<p:ajax update=":componentSelectionPanel" />
</p:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>
</p:panel>
<p:panel id="componentSelectionPanel" header="Component Selection">
<h:form id="componentSelectionForm">
<p:galleria id="componentGallery" var="component"
value="#{manageContainersBean.selectedContainer.components}">
<p:graphicImage value="#{component.preview}" title="#{component.name}" alt="#{component.name}"></p:graphicImage>
</p:galleria>
</h:form>
</p:panel>
On startup of the website the gallery gets shown correctly. However, if I change the selection
in the SelectOneMenu the gallery is just empty (nothing gets shown, the panel for "Component Selection" itself is empty).
The updating through the AJAX request works. The list of components is retrieved upon update , the preview as well as name are requested as desired. However, the HTML code generated for the updated gallery contains very few lines, way less than when loading the gallery initially, see here:
<ul class="ui-galleria-panel-wrapper">
<li class="ui-galleria-panel ui-helper-hidden">
<img id="j_idt28" alt="Have lunch" title="Have lunch">
</li>
<li class="ui-galleria-panel ui-helper-hidden">
<img id="j_idt28" alt="Have brunch" title="Have brunch">
</li>
</ul>
As can be seen, the newly selected container is fetched, though and the images are somewhat updated (but the inital gallery contains way more code).
I already tried updating the complete form instead of only the gallery: same result. I tried moving the gallery out of the form itself: same result. I tried using a Javascript update from the Browser console as tried here, nothing happens.
Does someone have a solution to this problem?
Update: I checked the server response, that gets send when the gallery should be updated. It contains exactly the same code as the initial response (when the gallery works), so there must be something wrong with JSF during rendering the response. But still no clue on how to handle this.
Edit: general thing: the form should not be updated, but the complete panel.

I found the issue being reported here.
The temporary solution then is to modify the ajax request in the containerSelectionForm as follows:
<p:ajax
update=":componentSelectionPanel"
oncomplete="PrimeFaces.cw('Galleria','widget_componentSelectionForm_componentGallery',{id:'componentSelectionForm:componentGallery'}" />
In the call of PrimeFaces.cw() be sure to include galleria parameters like panelWidth in the object, that already contains the id.
First of all, I'm under JSF 1.2, RichFaces 3.3.0 and Tomahawk 1.1.9.
I have a rich:tabPanel which contains one form in each tab:
<h:form>
// This manages error messages thrown by my application:
<jsp:include page="showError.jsp" flush="true" />
<rich:tabPanel switchType="client" selectedTab="#{MyBean.selectedTab}">
<rich:tab name="tab1" label="TAB-1">
<t:subform id="subForm1">
//Some components such as h:inputText and h:selectOneMenu
<t:commandButton actionFor="subform1" action="#{BeanForm1.insertData}" value="INSERT">
<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{MyBean.selectedTab}" value="tab1" />
</t:commandButton>
</t:subform>
</rich:tab>
<rich:tab name="tab2" label="TAB-2">
<t:subform id="subForm2">
//Some components such as h:inputText and h:selectOneMenu
<t:commandButton actionFor="subform2" action="#{BeanForm2.insertData}" value="INSERT">
<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{MyBean.selectedTab}" value="tab2" />
</t:commandButton>
</t:subform>
</rich:tab>
</rich:tabPanel>
I want the application to keep the view in the tab where the user has submit the subform, even if it hasn't passed the validations I've defined. At this time, the 'MyBean.selectedTab` value only changes when the subform has been validated and submitted.
Is there any way to force this change even if the form fails the validations? Maybe I'm not focusing the problem in the proper way, how can I get this behaviour?
Thanks in advance.
Found strange problem, possibly bug.
I have 2 identical web-pages with Richfaces:suggestionbox.
On the first one my suggestionBox is doing well, everything works fine, but on another one i have some problems. SuggestionBox doesn't show my suggestions. In logs i have something like this:
WARNING: No component found to process as 'ajaxSingle' for clientId remains-form:konta-suggest
2010.1.9 12:02:29 org.ajax4jsf.component.AjaxViewRoot processPhase
Any conclusions?
UPD:
<h:inputText value="#{repobean.kont}" id="kont" label="Payer" style="width:230px;"/>
<rich:suggestionbox onobjectchange="printObjectsSelected(#{rich:element('konta-id')}, #{rich:component('konta-suggest')}, 'id');" usingSuggestObjects="true" width="230" var="result" fetchValue="#{result.kont}" suggestionAction="#{kontabean.suggest}" id="konta-suggest" for="kont">
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{result.kont}"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{result.kontName}"/>
</h:column>
</rich:suggestionbox>
<h:inputHidden id="konta-id" value="#{repobean.kontId}" />
Javascript inside onobjectchange is a function which prints id into konta-id.
The code of jsp on the second page is copy-pasted from the first page.
I know, the question is 5 years old, but we had this same error (with different components)
In our case we have changed the outer ui:repeat to an a4j:repeat.
After that, our components worked as expected.
What you can do, when you encounter Ajax problems, is to add the <a4j:log> component:
<a4j:log popup="false"/>
This will create a box in your page with all the Ajax logs from Richfaces. Eventually, you can set popup="true" and then display the popup by Ctrl + Shift + L
There are many logs in this panel, but generally the important things to look at is the WARN or ERROR messages.
Other concern about your error message: it is talking about some ajaxSingle processing. In your JSF code, you have no ajaxSingle attribute defined. When does this error happens? When you start typing some characters in your inputText component?
Isn't there any conditional rendering (rendered="#{some expression}") around this input and suggestion components? Or an iteration?
Does .suggest() action get invoked before this error?
Situations like you've described happen when an action-related (causing) component is within a conditional render (or an iteration) which does not allow a component to be created on RestoreView phase. Then action is not called at all and component-id is not found in the component tree.
Example: if you have something like this:
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{not empty myBean.valueSetInActionHandler}">
<h:commandLink id="action1" action="#{myBean.callOtherAction" value="appears after action"/>
</h:panelGroup>
<h:commandLink id="action2" action="#{myBean.setValueInActionHandler}" value="display button above"/>
First render - only one, second button is rendered. If setValueInActionHandler sets some value and displays the same page - first button ("appears after action") will get rendered too. But clicking it won't fire a callOtherAction - because on second request, during RestorePhase valueInActionHandler is empty again, so action1 will not be available...
Hope I managed to make myself clear :)
I think a4j taglib is missing on the page.
I have such structure in my jsp:
<h:commandLink action=#{docbean.save}>
<a4j:actionParam name="somename" value="bill_all" assignTo="#{billdoc.billType}"/>
<a4j:actionParam name="somename" value="bill_document" assignTo="#{docbean.doctype}"/>
</h:commandLink>
While debugging i saw, that billdoc.billtype and docbean.doctype have the same values: "bill_document".
Is it bug? If not, then how can i put value to my managed-bean?
UPDATED:
Found the answer:
I had two actionParams with one name. ActionParam is f:actionListener + f:param. So, if you have several actionparams with one name, you will have the problem i had. RichFaces and JSF doesn't warn you about it.
First, you need a space here <a4j:actionParamvalue - before value
Second, You may try this instead of <a4j:actionParam>:
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="bill_all" target="#{billdoc.billType}" />
You may need to put immediate="true" on your commandLink if there are validation errors in your form. You can view these errors by adding <rich:messages /> ontop of the page.
Try using an a4j:commandLink. Or - if you stick to h:commandLink - try embedding your a4j:actionParams in an a4j:support tag.
