Invoking customActionListner on click of the pager Button

15 January, 2008 - 08:16 — Nick

I want to fire the customActionListner when ever the pager button is clicked . I am trying this but the action is fired only once, if i click on the pager once again them the action is not fired.

Here is the code snippet:
--------------------------------------

Jsp
--------

<bjsf:listGrid id="listing">

      <bjsf:column>

         <f:facet name="header">

           <bjsf:outputText value="firstName" />

         </f:facet>

         <bjsf:outputText value="#{entity.firstName}" />

         <f:facet name="editor">

          <bjsf:inputText value="#{entity.firstName}" />

         </f:facet>

     </bjsf:column>

</bjsf:listGrid>

<bjsf:pager for="listing" id="pager" width="auto"

            customActionListener="#{sampleBean.openModal}" 

            binding="#{sampleBean.pager}">

        <f:verbatim>

                <e:handler event="click" type="application/javascript">

                        bb.bjsf.sync(this, 'custom');

                </e:handler>

        </f:verbatim>

</bjsf:pager>

Bean
---------------

 public void openModal(CustomActionEvent event)

 {

   System.out.println(" This should fire whenever the pager button is clicked");

 }

Tried some alternative
-------------------------------
I have tired using the bb.command.fire(this,custom,false,false) but this does not get fired.

Apart from this i have once more query
-------------------------------------------- -
1) I wanted to refresh the pager , for this i have done the binding of the pager component.

Here is the code snippet:
----------------------------
JSP
----

<bjsf:pager for="listing" id="pager" width="auto"    binding="#{sampleBean.pager}" />

BEAN
------

   private UIBackbasePager pager;

   public UIBackbasePager getPager()

    {

        return pager;

    }

   public void setPager(UIBackbasePager pager)

    {

        this.pager = pager;

    }

   public void refreshPager()

    {

     pager.setStructureDirty(true);

    }

If i do the setStructureDirty as 'true' the pager gets invisible.

Seeking for an early reply :-)

Hi Nick, I created a test

Hi Nick,

I created a test case which contains a listGrid and a pager associated with it. Custom action listner is implanted to the pager. Clicking on the pager invokes backing bean method outputting a string to the server console.

<bjsf:listGrid var="row" id="grid1"

                        value="#{myBean.users}" 

                        binding="#{myBean.grid}"

                        width="500px" 

                        height="300px" 

                        editable="true"  

                        rowClasses="cssEven, cssOdd" 

                        >                                       

                        <bjsf:column show="#{myBean.col1}">

                                <f:facet name="header">

                                        <bjsf:outputText value="id" />

                                </f:facet>

                                <bjsf:outputText value="#{row.id}" />

                                <f:facet name="editor">

                                <bjsf:inputText value="#{row.id}" id="edit-id"/>

                        </f:facet>

                </bjsf:column>

                        <bjsf:column show="#{myBean.col2}">

                                <f:facet name="header">

                                        <bjsf:outputText value="name" />

                                </f:facet>

                                <bjsf:outputText value="#{row.name}" />

                                <f:facet name="editor">

                                <bjsf:inputText value="#{row.name}" id="edit-name"/>

                        </f:facet>

                </bjsf:column>

                <bjsf:column show="#{myBean.col3}">

                                <f:facet name="header">

                                        <bjsf:outputText value="age" />

                                </f:facet>

                                <bjsf:outputText value="#{row.age}" />

                                <f:facet name="editor">

                                <bjsf:inputText value="#{row.age}" id="edit-age"/>

                        </f:facet>

                </bjsf:column>

                </bjsf:listGrid>

                <bjsf:pager id="pager" for="grid1" customActionListener="#{myBean.openWin}"  binding="#{myBean.pager}">

                <f:verbatim>

                        <e:handler event="click" type="text/javascript"> 

                                        var browserName = navigator.appName; 

                                        var currentTime = new Date(); 

                                        bb.bjsf.sync(this, 'custom', 'param1', browserName, 'param2', currentTime); 

                                </e:handler>

                        </f:verbatim>

        </bjsf:pager>

public void openWin(CustomActionEvent event) 

        { 

        System.out.println(event.getAtts().get("param1")); 

        System.out.println(event.getAtts().get("param2")); 

        }

Each time the pager is click I do get the method triggered.
