Thanks for taking the time to look over my issue. With the a few input fields I need to fire of a Boolean switch on the backing bean for an onchange action. This is so that when the user on the page is entering information and clicks a cancel button I can fire up a pop-up notifying him/her that if the want to leave they will lose all their info (and canceling the navigation if they don't wish to lose the info).

This all works fine and according to plan until I begin to test. I get this error when a user changes the value of one field, then another, and then changes the value of a filed he previously filled. I think it has something to do with the fact there is an onblur validation for the element as well as a4j:support checking for the onchange. It could also have something to do with the attribute being enclosed in a a4j:region, however, when I don't use the a4j:region for some reason the a4j:support is not fired off. I have also used ajaxSingle="true" as an attribute for the a4j:support on the inputText and get the same results (without it the a4j:support isn't fired off, with it I get the error). I can't find information on either elsewhere.

Below is the code. There are numerous fields on the form and in testing these first four I am always able to recreate the error so I figure adding all the fields would just be redundant. Also, at the bottom everything gets their appropriate closing tags:

<h:panelGrid columns="1" style="width:100%;"> <rich:tabPanel width="max"> <rich:tab label="Set Up" > <h:panelGrid columns="4"> <h:outputText styleClass="red" value="*"/> <h:outputText value="First Name:"></h:outputText> <a4j:region><h:inputText required="true" id="firstname" defaultLabel="Enter First name" value="#{contractorMBean.firstName}" style="width:155px"> <rich:ajaxValidator event="onblur" /> <a4j:support event="onchange" action="#{contractorMBean.setFFTrue}" /> </h:inputText></a4j:region> <rich:message for="firstname" errorClass="errClass"> <f:facet name="errorMarker"> <h:graphicImage url="/images/error.GIF"/> </f:facet> </rich:message> <h:outputText styleClass="red" value="*"/> <h:outputText value="Last Name:"/> <a4j:region><h:inputText required="true" id="lastName" defaultLabel="Enter Lastname" value="#{contractorMBean.lastName}" style="width:155px"> <rich:ajaxValidator event="onblur" /> <a4j:support event="onchange" action="#{contractorMBean.setFFTrue}" /> </h:inputText></a4j:region> <rich:message for="lastName" errorClass="errClass"> <f:facet name="errorMarker"> <h:graphicImage url="/images/error.GIF"/> </f:facet> </rich:message> <h:outputText styleClass="red" value="*"/> <h:outputText value="Email:"/> <a4j:region><h:inputText id="email" required="true" value="#{contractorMBean.email}" validator="#{contractorValidator.validateEmail}" style="width:155px"> <rich:ajaxValidator event="onblur" /> <a4j:support event="onchange" action="#{contractorMBean.setFFTrue}" /> </h:inputText></a4j:region> <rich:message for="email" errorClass="errClass"> <f:facet name="errorMarker"> <h:graphicImage url="/images/error.GIF"/> </f:facet> </rich:message> <h:outputText value="" /> <h:outputText value="Phone Number:"/> <a4j:region><h:inputText id="phno" value="#{contractorMBean.phone}" validator="#{contractorValidator.validatePhone}" style="width:155px"> <rich:beanValidator summary="Invalid phone number"/> <rich:ajaxValidator event="onblur"/> <a4j:support event="onchange" action="#{contractorMBean.setFFTrue}" /> </h:inputText></a4j:region> <rich:message for="phno" errorClass="errClass"> <f:facet name="errorMarker"> <h:graphicImage url="/images/error.GIF"/> </f:facet> </rich:message>

Thanks again for taking a look as well as in advance for providing any help.

Hi,

So I have a situation where the selection from the drop down in rich:comboBox A should cause rich:comboBox B to reRender, thus removing any values previously selected and displaying a blank comboBox. However, what seems to be due (ie, when I remove the code it works like it should) to a rich:ajaxValidator rich:comboBox B retains the value previous selected. rich:comboBox A being id="org", and rich:comboBox B being id="orgiunit" Below is the code:

<rich:comboBox id="org" required="true" selectFirstOnUpdate="false" defaultLabel="Org" value="#{contractorMBean.org}" valueChangeListener="#{contractorMBean.orgValueChanged}" enableManualInput="false" width="155px"> <f:selectItems value="#{contractorMBean.orgs}" /> <a4j:support event="onselect" reRender="orgiunit,bsorg,shipTo,bAddr,supervisor" ajaxSingle="true"/> </rich:comboBox> <rich:message for="org" errorClass="errClass"> <f:facet name="errorMarker"> <h:graphicImage url="/images/error.GIF"/> </f:facet> </rich:message> <h:outputText styleClass="red" value="*"/> <h:outputText value="Organization Unit:"/> <rich:comboBox id="orgiunit" rendered="true" enableManualInput="false" required="true" selectFirstOnUpdate="false" defaultLabel="Org Unit" value="#{contractorMBean.orgUnit}" valueChangeListener="#{contractorMBean.orgUnitValueChanged}" width="155px"> <f:selectItems value="#{contractorMBean.orgUnits}" /> <a4j:support event="onselect" reRender="bsorg,shipTo,bAddr,supervisor" ajaxSingle="true"/> <rich:ajaxValidator event="onblur" /> </rich:comboBox> <rich:message for="orgiunit" errorClass="errClass" showDetail="true"> <f:facet name="errorMarker"> <h:graphicImage url="/images/error.GIF"/> </f:facet> </rich:message>


You guys were nothing short of AWESOME last time in helping me with my problem and I'm hoping you can do it again. Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for your help

Hi,

I need to create a scenario where on a page load the rich:comboBox defaults to a certain string value, sort of the way it would if I were using a selectOneMenu. Or if that is impossible I would need to find a way to edit a selectOneMenu so that it looks like the rich:comboBox, including the skin (deepMarine) we are using. I thought this would be a simple task and yet I can't find any instructions on it. Below is the code I'm currently dealing with:

<rich:comboBox id="status" required="true" defaultLabel="status" value="#{contractorMBean.userStatusDisplay}" enableManualInput="false" width="155px"> <f:selectItems value="#{contractorMBean.statusList}" /> </rich:comboBox>

Any help is greatly appreciated as this issue has been driving me up a wall.

Thanks in advance.
