'Show All' button for Primefaces DataTable

I would like to have a 'Show All' button for a primefaces datatable, however, I'm experiencing some trouble. Here's some test code that demostrates the problem:
Test.xhtml:
...
<h:form>
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{testBean.showAll}" itemLabel="Show All">
<p:ajax update="#form"/>
</p:selectBooleanCheckbox>
<p:panel id="test">
<p:dataTable id="values" var="value" value="#{testBean.fullList}" filteredValue="#{testBean.filteredList}" paginatorAlwaysVisible="false"
paginator="#{!testBean.showAll}" rows="#{!testBean.showAll ? 2 : null }" widgetVar="valuesTable"
emptyMessage="No records found.">
<p:column id="enum" sortBy="#{value.toString()}" filterBy="#{value.toString()}" filterMatchMode="contains">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Enum" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value ="#{value.toString()}"/>
</p:column>
<p:column id="name" sortBy="#{value.name}" filterBy="#{value.name}" filterMatchMode="contains">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{value.name}" />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</p:panel>
</h:form>
...
And here's TestBean.java:
import javax.inject.Named;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
#Named(value = "testBean")
#SessionScoped
public class TestBean implements Serializable {
public static enum Value {
ONE, TWO, THREE;
public String getName() {
return name().toLowerCase();
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return this.name();
}
}
/**
* Creates a new instance of TestBean
*/
public TestBean() {
}
private boolean showAll = false;
private List<Value> fullList = Arrays.asList(Value.values());
private List<Value> filteredList;
public boolean isShowAll() {
return showAll;
}
public void setShowAll(boolean showAll) {
this.showAll = showAll;
}
public List<Value> getFullList() {
return fullList;
}
public void setFullList(List<Value> fullList) {
this.fullList = fullList;
}
public List<Value> getFilteredList() {
return filteredList;
}
public void setFilteredList(List<Value> filteredList) {
this.filteredList = filteredList;
}
}
If I don't change tabs, the page works as expected: toggling the 'Show All' button updates the table to show all 3 values, or only two. However, if show all is not checked (only 2 rows are showing), and I click to the 2nd page of the table to view the third record, and then click 'Show All', the table does not update properly. It removes the paginator from the top of the table (as expected), but still only shows the 3rd record. And if I then uncheck show all and navigate back to the first page of the datatable, it is now broken too.
I've tried changing the ajax update statement to the id of the table, but that didn't change the results.
Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

You have to programmatically set the values you need directly on the DataTable component (I used explicit first and rows bean properties just for more readability):
<h:form>
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{testBean.showAll}" itemLabel="Show All">
<p:ajax update="#form" />
</p:selectBooleanCheckbox>
<p:panel id="test">
<p:dataTable id="values" var="value" value="#{testBean.fullList}"
filteredValue="#{testBean.filteredList}" paginatorAlwaysVisible="false"
paginator="#{!testBean.showAll}" first="#{testBean.first}" rows="#{testBean.rows}"
widgetVar="valuesTable" emptyMessage="No records found.">
<p:column id="enum" sortBy="#{value.toString()}" filterBy="#{value.toString()}"
filterMatchMode="contains">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Enum" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{value.toString()}" />
</p:column>
<p:column id="name" sortBy="#{value.name}" filterBy="#{value.name}"
filterMatchMode="contains">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{value.name}" />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</p:panel>
</h:form>
and
#Named
#ViewScoped
public class TestBean implements Serializable
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public static enum Value
{
ONE, TWO, THREE;
public String getName()
{
return name().toLowerCase();
}
#Override
public String toString()
{
return name();
}
}
private boolean showAll = false;
private int first = 0;
private int rows = 2;
private List<Value> fullList = Arrays.asList(Value.values());
private List<Value> filteredList;
public boolean isShowAll()
{
return showAll;
}
public void setShowAll(boolean showAll)
{
this.showAll = showAll;
first = 0;
rows = showAll ? 0 : 2;
filteredList = null;
// get the FacesContext instance
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
// get the current component (p:selectBooleanCheckbox)
UIComponent component = UIComponent.getCurrentComponent(context);
// find DataTable within the same NamingContainer
DataTable table = (DataTable) component.findComponent("values");
// reset first row index
table.setFirst(first);
// reset last row index
table.setRows(rows);
// reset filterd value
table.setFilteredValue(null);
}
// all other getters/setters
}
Tested on Wildfly 10.0.0.Final with JSF 2.3.0-m06 (Mojarra) and PrimeFaces 6.0.2

I had the same problem, was resolved by this steps:
Adding styleClass="all-paginator" to datatable
<p:dataTable id="values" var="value" value="#{testBean.fullList}"
filteredValue="#{testBean.filteredList}" styleClass="all-paginator"..>
Add a getter of number of all records in the controller (TestBean.java) like:
public int getRecordNumber() {
if(CollectionUtils.isEmpty(fullList)){
return 0;
}
return fullList.size();
}
Add the property of the recordNumber at the end of the datatable attribute "rowsPerPageTemplate"
<p:dataTable id="values" var="value" value="#{testBean.fullList}" filteredValue="#{testBean.filteredList}"
styleClass="all-paginator" rowsPerPageTemplate="20,30,40,50,#{testBean.recordNumber}"..>

Setting Editable/NotEditable area with link in JSF?

Hello everyone i am new at JSF-Hibernate. I have a table in my database called "Personels" and I am getting records from there with a function and showing at "ListAllPersonels.xhtml" page. I have a link next to each surname and when click on it the row that clicked should turn to editable area. I have boolean variable for holding value of each records. Everthing is work except editable area link.When click on it, nothing changes. The value of "editable" doesnt turn to "true" from "false". So my codes are here, where is problem? Thanks....

You should take a look at primefaces, it had some features. And you should find some responses to your questions.
http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/data/datatable/edit.xhtml
And then try something like this
<p:dataTable value="#{personelMB.getAllPersonelsFromDatabase()}" var="p" editable="true" editMode="cell" widgetVar="cellP">

Primefaces SelectCheckboxMenu null value

I'm trying to get selected values from a selectCheckboxMenu, but all I'm getting is null in the console. It doesn't work with selectOneMenu too. Here's my jsf form:
<h:form id="mmaster">
<p:dataTable
value="#{devicesBean.devices}"
var="dev"
widgetVar="dt"
border="1"
paginator="true"
paginatorPosition="top"
rows="10"
>
<f:facet name="header">Devices</f:facet>
<p:column headerText="UDN" sortBy="#{dev.deviceUDN}" filterBy="#{dev.deviceUDN}" filterMatchMode="contains" emptyMessage="No Devices Found">
<h:outputText value="#{dev.deviceUDN}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="FriendlyName" sortBy="#{dev.deviceFriendlyName}" filterBy="#{dev.deviceFriendlyName}" filterMatchMode="contains">
<h:outputText value="#{dev.deviceFriendlyName}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Model" sortBy="#{dev.deviceModel}" filterBy="#{dev.deviceModel}" filterMatchMode="contains">
<h:outputText value="#{dev.deviceModel}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Manufacturer" sortBy="#{dev.deviceManufacturer}" filterBy="#{dev.deviceManufacturer}" filterMatchMode="contains">
<h:outputText value="#{dev.deviceManufacturer}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Type" sortBy="#{dev.deviceType}" filterBy="#{dev.deviceType}" filterMatchMode="contains">
<h:outputText value="#{dev.deviceType}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Actions">
<p:selectCheckboxMenu value="#{devicesBean.selectAnnotations}">
<f:selectItems value="#{devicesBean.annotations}" />
</p:selectCheckboxMenu>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<p:commandButton value="Annotate" action="#{devicesBean.doSave}" process="#this">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{dev}" target="#{devicesBean.device}" />
</p:commandButton>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</h:form>
I wonder if there is a problem in the bean's scope, And this is my managed bean:
#ManagedBean
public class DevicesBean implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private List<Device> devices;
private List<String> annotations;
private List<String> selectAnnotations = new ArrayList<String>();
private Device device;
#EJB
IOntoProcessor iop;
#EJB
IDevicesDao idd;
public DevicesBean() {
}
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
setDevices(idd.getAllDevices());
setAnnotations(iop.getAllAnnotations());
}
public List<Device> getDevices() {
return devices;
}
public void setDevices(List<Device> devices) {
this.devices = devices;
}
public List<String> getAnnotations() {
return annotations;
}
public void setAnnotations(List<String> annotations) {
this.annotations = annotations;
}
public Device getDevice() {
return device;
}
public void setDevice(Device device) {
this.device = device;
}
public List<String> getSelectAnnotations() {
return selectAnnotations;
}
public void setSelectAnnotations(List<String> selectAnnotations) {
this.selectAnnotations = selectAnnotations;
}
public void doSave() {
System.out.println(selectAnnotations);
System.out.println(device);
selectAnnotations = new ArrayList<String>();
}
}

You are trying to submit the form through the Button with value Annotate, which has been specified to process itself only:
This will only process the button and its associated form parameters, and no other element within the form.
<p:commandButton value="Annotate" action="#{devicesBean.doSave}" process="#this">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{dev}" target="#{devicesBean.device}" />
</p:commandButton>
Either remove the process="#this", or replace it with process="#form"
<p:commandButton value="Annotate" action="#{devicesBean.doSave}" process="#form">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{dev}" target="#{devicesBean.device}" />
</p:commandButton>
Two, declare your managed bean scope: Either #RequestScope or #SessionScoped will work fine.

<p:dataTable>'s onExpandStart attribute is not working

In my application I want to execute a client side method before expanding row of <p:dataTable> so I am using onExpandStart="alert('Helo');". But this also is not working for me.
.xhtml code snippet :
<p:dataTable value="#{ExampleDataModel}" lazy="true" paginator="true" onExpandStart="alert('Helo');">
<p:column id="rowToggle" styleClass="rowtoggle">
<p:rowToggler />
</p:column>
<p:rowExpansion>
..........
</p:rowExpansion>
</p:dataTable>
can anyone tell wher I have done wrong? I am using PF 3.4,Mojara(2). Thanks.
Update-1 :
managedBean's code snippet :
#ManagedBean(name = "columnController")
#ViewScoped
public class ColumnController implements Serializable {
private List<ColumnDTO> userNames;
public List<ColumnDTO> getUserNames() {
List<ColumnDTO> columns = new ArrayList<ColumnDTO>();
columns.add(new ColumnDTO(Integer.valueOf(1), "Diganta"));
columns.add(new ColumnDTO(Integer.valueOf(2), "Jayanta"));
columns.add(new ColumnDTO(Integer.valueOf(3), "Proloy"));
return columns;
}
public void setUserNames(List<ColumnDTO> userNames) {
this.userNames = userNames;
}
}
ColumnDTO.java :
public class ColumnDTO implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 4828438441215128064L;
private Integer columnId;
private String columnName;
public ColumnDTO(Integer index, String columnName) {
this.columnId = index;
this.columnName = columnName;
}
//...........getter setter
}
.xhtml code :
<h:head></h:head>
<body>
<h:form>
<p:dataTable value="#{columnController.userNames}" var="name" onExpandStart="alert('Hello')">
<p:column>
<p:rowToggler/>
</p:column>
<p:column>
<h:outputText value="#{name.columnName}" />
</p:column>
<p:rowExpansion>
<h:outputText value="#{name.columnId}" />
</p:rowExpansion>
</p:dataTable>
</h:form>
</body>
</html>

Try <p:ajax event="rowToggle" onstart="alert('Helo');"/> instead of onExpandStart

Submit Listener Method in the BackBean is not getting invoked

My result tables/images will be displayed in the same page. But the submit button is not invoked. I have two drop downs on which the values of the other two drop downs are dependent. If I am writting immediate="true" the method is invoked but only two values are set with whom I have associated processValueChange action the other selected values are not updated in the bean.

How to submit the form properly?

When a form is not being submitted, sometimes it may happen from a mistaken usage of JSF component.
I see that you are using
<h:selectOneMenu id="slaView" value="#{LoginForm.slaView}" required="true">
<f:selectItems value="#{LoginForm.viewList}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
which comes from:
viewList=ddC.getViewList();
and the selected item goes into a String value.
can you please write the code of getViewList ?
If the items are declared of int,String - than the problem is that slaView should be of type int.

You're calling FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().renderResponse(); inside a valueChangeListener method whenever a dropdown value changes. This will cause the remaining phases of the JSF lifecycle being skipped until the render response phase. Since the valueChangeListener method is invoked during validations phase, the update model values and invoke action phases are skipped. And guess what, the submit button is to be invoked during invoke action phase, but this is been skipped!
Anyway, creating dynamic dependent dropdown menus wherein the data is fully to be retrieved from the server side without any help of advanced JavaScript and Ajax is a real pain. You've to take a lot of things into account with regard to skipping validation of other fields and retaining submitted values of other fields. So also in JSF. Long story short, here's an article which describes how to do it properly: Populate child menu's.
