Problem with PrimeFaces and Composite Components - java

I have a piece of code similar to "Data Table - Instant Row Selection". However, when I break it down into composite components the selection values are not displayed. I have a suspicion it's caused by PrimeFaces code.
Below is the code that doesn't work:
viewApplicationConfig.xhtml

Did anyone have a similar issue using composite components, p:dataTable and p:dialog?

I didn't read through the whole code as you didn't point me to a specific piece of code like "when I click the <p:commandButton id="someButton" ..." so I'm just 'taking a guess'.
I see the backing bean is request scoped using Spring's container. I think the problem you're experiencing is that the bean has the lifespan of one request. If you're doing AJAX things like selecting rows in a data table you need a view scoped bean. Have a look at this question for an explanation of different scopes.
I'm also guessing that you now want to use a view scoped bean, and I know Spring doesn't have a #Scope("view") you can use. Luckily Cagatay Civici came to the rescue and has posted a solution on his blog.

Primefaces Datagrid Dialog not getting updated with selected values

I have an issue with primefaces datagrid.I am following this example1, trying to update the dialog box with the selected values on click of p:commandLink. The Dialog doesnt work, doesnt show. I am using primefaces-4.0 on GlassFish Server 4.0. I've replaced the bean and its methods with my bean.
This is what i did.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that'd be great. Sorry for the huge post, it needed a bit of explaining to make it coherent. Hopefully it makes sense. Thanks.
I discovered some compatibility problems between primefaces and twitter bootstrap, so I replaced the primefaces modal with a boostrap modal but keeping the outputPanel in order to get updated the data and changed from r.libroelegito to accionesController.libroelegido. Here is the code:

I got some issue regarding Primefaces. There is a requirement that when we change language in my top panel from Engish to Arabic the entire layout should be displayed in right to left position (Like mirror image applying to all inner pages).please help me out.
i am including english version layout,top panel and controller beans.

3.Local Bean contoller:
import java.util.Locale;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class LocaleBean {
private Locale locale = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getLocale();
public Locale getLocale() {
return locale;
}
public String getLanguage() {
return locale.getLanguage();
}
public void setLanguage(String language) {
locale = new Locale(language);
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(locale);
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpSession session = (HttpSession) facesContext.getExternalContext().getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("user", locale);
// session.setAttribute("language", language);
}
public String save()
{
return "homePage";
}
}
4.Language controller:
import java.util.Locale;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.event.ComponentSystemEvent;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class LocaleControllerBean {
public static String dir="";
private String direction="";
public String getDirection() {
return direction;
}
public void setDirection(String direction) {
this.direction = direction;
}
public void islang(ComponentSystemEvent event)
{
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpSession session = (HttpSession) facesContext.getExternalContext().getSession(true);
Locale l=(Locale) session.getAttribute("user");
if(l.toString().equals("ar"))
{
// dir="rtl";
setDirection("rtl");
}
else
{
setDirection("ltr");
// dir="ltr";
}
System.out.println("locale"+l);
facesContext.getViewRoot().setLocale(l);
}
}
The RTL support is something new in primefaces. I think it is not possible, just to have the whole page looking like a mirror image without actually recreating the page. The css itself probably will not do it, so you will need to create a separate page (or set of pages) to which you will be redirected after changing your locale.
More about RTL support in primefaces can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/primefaces/issues/detail?id=3890 and as you can see- it is component, by component, rather than global.

How do I get "p:focus" to work properly in this simple app (its currently not "focusing" at all)

PROBLEM:
The PrimeFaces "p:focus" tag is not focusing.
-I.e., when the xhtml page is presented to the user, no input fields are in focus.
QUESTION:
Why not? How can I get "p:focus" to work properly in this simple app?
(NOTE: using Java 6, Mojarra v2.1.11, PrimeFaces v3.4.2)

It's because you're returning false on focus here:
<p:inputText
...
onfocus="$('#queryForm\\:msgs > div').hide();$('#queryForm\\:msgs > div').eq(0).show();return false;" >
</p:inputText>
Returning false causes the event's default behaviour to be blocked.
To fix your problem, simply remove return false; from onfocus attribute of the input component.
<p:inputText
...
onfocus="$('#queryForm\\:msgs > div').hide();$('#queryForm\\:msgs > div').eq(0).show();" >
</p:inputText>

How to clear Form fields after actionListener is fired?

I have a managed bean placed in view scope. Here is the bean:
#ManagedBean(name = "adminController")
#ViewScoped
public class AdminController extends BaseWebController implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1019716974557397635L;
private transient CustomerDTO customerDTO;
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
customerDTO = new CustomerDTO();
}
public void saveCustomer(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println(customerDTO.isActive());
try {
getServiceProvider().getCustomerService().addNewCustomer(customerDTO);
getFacesContext().addMessage(null, FacesMessageUtils.getMessageForCustomerAddSuccess(getFacesContext()));
} catch (Throwable throwable) {
getFacesContext().addMessage(null, FacesMessageUtils.getMessageForCustomerAddError(getFacesContext()));
printStackTrace(throwable);
}
}
public CustomerDTO getCustomerDTO() {
return customerDTO;
}
public void setCustomerDTO(CustomerDTO customerDTO) {
this.customerDTO = customerDTO;
}
}
The view is:

The problem that I am facing is, after the actionListener successfully executed the input fields are holding the values.
The h:form is not visible in the aforementioned xhtml, it is placed in the parent page as:
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
template="/WEB-INF/templates/globalTemplate.xhtml">
<ui:define name="title">#{adbBundle['home']}</ui:define>
<ui:define name="content">
<p:growl id="growl" showDetail="true" />
<h:form id="form">
<ui:include src="/WEB-INF/includes/addCustomer.xhtml" />
</h:form>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
However if I add customerDTO = new CustomerDTO(); at the end of the actionListener saveCustomer, the inputs are reset.
Is it the way to clear the form? Or there is a better way to achieve this?
To clear form data using ActionEvent on button
public void clear(){
customerDTO = new CustomerDTO();
}

Update and Process don't work properly in JSF 2.0 Primefaces 3.4

In this page I,m going to let the user to make the password visible by clicking a checkbox. Actually two Inputs (password, conPassword) should hide and another input (passwordV) should be displayed. All these 3 inputs have the same value and needs to keep their values as user switches between these 2 states: (having two secret fields visible or having one plain text field)
I put the page and bean code here:

UPDATED CODE
I just wrote a simpler code in order to make it easier for you to understand my problem:

</p:selectBooleanButton>
<f:facet name="footer">
<p:commandButton actionListener="#{testBean.save(event)}" value="Save" update="messages"/>
<p:messages id="messages"/>
</f:facet>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
AND BEAN:
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class TestBean {
private String username;
private String password;
private boolean visiblePassword;
public void addMessage() {
String summary = visiblePassword ? "Checked" : "Unchecked";
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(summary));
}
public TestBean() {
}
public void save(ActionEvent event) {
}
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
public boolean isVisiblePassword() {
return visiblePassword;
}
public void setVisiblePassword(boolean visiblePassword) {
this.visiblePassword = visiblePassword;
}
}
This code can hide two fields and show the third field properly if I do not add process attribute to the <p:ajax tag. But this attribute is needed in order to these fields keep their values when the user switches between two modes (2 secret fields / 1 plain text field)
But it fails!
==========================================================
SECOND UPDATE
I used redisplay and the problem of empty values solved but still the inputs don't hide/show unless I set the update and process to #form which is not good for my case.

Your main mistake is that you're toggling visibility of the input fields using CSS in the client side, not using JSF in the server side. So JSF basically never knows which one is shown/hidden. All it knows is that both fields are shown. So it will process the both fields. As you've bound the value of the both fields to the one and same property, it will always end up getting the value of the last processed field.
You need to show/hide the input fields using JSF in the server side instead. You can use the therefor provided rendered attribute.
rendered="#{testBean.visiblePassword}"
The problem is that you're binding the same variable entry.passwordEntry.password to 2 or more fields, so when submitting the <h:form> only one of the values in those fields will be set to entry.passwordEntry.password, the other values will be discarded.
The best way to solve this will be to have different variables for every field you have/need on the form. By looking at your code, it looks like that can be achieved by having 3 PasswordEntry attributes in your bean:
#ManagedBean(name = "entry")
#ViewScoped
public class PasswordEntryBean implements Serializable {
//other attributes...
private PasswordEntry passwordEntry;
private PasswordEntry passwordEntryV;
private PasswordEntry conPasswordEntry;
//<editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="CONSTRUCTORS">
public PasswordEntryBean() {
passwordEntry = new PasswordEntry();
passwordEntryV = new PasswordEntry();
conPasswordEntry = new PasswordEntry();
}
//getters and setters...
}
JSF Code:
<p:password id="password" feedback="true" value="#{entry.passwordEntry.password}"
match="conPassword" maxlength="100" label="#{lbls.password}"
promptLabel="#{lbls.strengthPromp}" weakLabel="#{lbls.weakPassword}"
goodLabel="#{lbls.goodPassword}" strongLabel="#{lbls.strongPassword}"
styleClass="#{entry.showPasswords ? 'none' : ''}" />
<p:password id="conPassword" value="#{entry.conPasswordEntry.password}"
label="#{lbls.conPassword}" maxlength="100"
styleClass="#{entry.showPasswords ? 'none' : ''}"/>
<p:inputText id="passwordV" value="#{entry.passwordEntryV.password}"
maxlength="100" label="#{lbls.password}"
styleClass="#{!entry.showPasswords ? 'none' : ''}"/>
If you want/need to have the same value in 2 or 3 places, you have to take into account that the bindings should not be in the same <h:form>, otherwise you will have the same problem. You can synchronize the variable values using plain JavaScript (after all, the <p:password> will be <input type="password"> and <p:input> will be <input type="text">) or in the server side when executing an action i.e. the listener that should be executed when selecting a value in your <p:selectBooleanCheckbox>.
