CommandButton type="button" generates a type="submit" (jsf 1.2)

Hi,
Migrating from JSF 1.1 to JSF 1.2.... My CommandButton with type="button" ends up to be an Input tag with a type=submit.
I looked at the JSF 1.2 tag api and it only accepts Submit and Reset.
Any idea how to have a commandButton that will not submit my page (Input type=button)?
Thanks

Hi BalusC,
Sorry to contradict you but, jsf 1.1 does support type="button". I have it all over my pages.
I'm migrating to jsf 1.2 and all the commandButton with type=button are generated as type=submit.
If you can write it in HTML why can't you with a jsf tag anyway?
<input type="button" name="Button1" value="List..." class="btn" />
I'll try your solution but, I wish they didn't change the tag.
Thanks

Changing button label;JSP; input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Search"

Hello everybody,
I try to develop a multilanguage application in which the button labels will change accordingly with the browser's regional settings.
The line in the generated DataQueryComponent.jsp file is the following:
<input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Search">
If I want to change the value like value="Rechercher" the application will not execute the query.
In fact the section
<jbo:ViewCriteriaIterate datasource="dsQuery" >
</jbo:ViewCriteriaIterate>
is not executed.
I tried to generate the button with:
<input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Rechercher" onClick="this.value='Search'"> ,
but for a long query the name Search will remain as button label on the screen.
Any new solutions, please?
Thanks in advance.

Using a form with two input type="submit" ... buttons...

Hello All!
I'm using a form to add and remove parameters for a service definition.
<form action="serviceinput.jsp" method="post">
               <table>
                    <tr>
                         <td><b>Level</b></td>
                         <td><b>Fieldname</b></td>
                         <td><b>Stucturename</b></td>
                         <td><b>Type</b></td>
                         <td><b>Format</b></td>
                         <td><b>Optional</b></td>
                         <td><b>Semantics</b></td>
                    </tr>
     <%
                    for (Iterator iterParameters = parameters.iterator(); iterParameters.hasNext();)
          Parameter parameter = (Parameter) iterParameters.next();
     %>
                    <tr>
          <td><%= parameter.getLevel() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getFieldname() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getStructurename() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getType() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getFormat() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getOptional() %></td>
          <td><%= parameter.getSemantics() %></td>
                    </tr>
     <%
     %>
               </table>
               <input type="submit" name="<%= parameters.addParameter() %>" value="add"/>
               <input type="submit" name="<%= parameters.removeParameter() %>" value="remove"/>
          </form>
The special thing about is, that I'm using two <input type="submit"...> buttons.
The idea is, that I'd like to add one more row with attributes by clicking the "add" button and removing one row by clicking the "remove" button.
If I use just one of them, it works fine. If I use both of them, nothing happens at all.
Isn't it allowed to use two <input type="submit"...> fields?
Is there an alternative? How can I implement my form the correct way?
Thanks a lot in advance to all!

Tomi

Is there a way to modify the schema-mapped XML that is generated by the submit action prior to submission?

I have a form created in LiveCycle ES2. I have mapped some fields to a schema that causes LC to generate XML that adheres to the import format of one of my company's internal databases.
There is one problem: the system's import function looks for a DTD DOCTYPE declaration between the XML declaration and root element. I've tried including the declaration in the schema, but LC does not include it in the mapped values or the export. I've spoken with the vendor about declaring the DTD as part of the import function and they have given a firm "No."
Is there a way to insert one line of markup into the XML that LC generates in the submit action before the XML is attached to the e-mail?

Thanks for pointing me at those. Worked like a charm. My stylesheet ended up looking like this (in case anyone is curious later on):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
        <xsl:template match="/">
            <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<!DOCTYPE name SYSTEM "http://location/DTD/name.dtd"[]>
            </xsl:text>
            <xsl:copy-of select="root node"/>
        </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>

How to handle multiple exception types in JSF 2?

I'm trying to handle multiple exception types in JSF2, including a default error page for any unexpected exception types. The problems I'm having are:
1) ViewExpiredException is handled only when no generic exception handler is specified
2) "Regular" exceptions like NullPointerException are never handled
My managed bean:
@Named
@SessionScoped
public class MyController implements Serializable {
/* A method that does nothing */
public void doNothing() {
    //do nothing
/* Generate a null pointer exception on purpose */
public void generateNpe() throws NullPointerException {
    Object x = null;
    x.toString();
My test page to generate the exception:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">
<h:head>
    <title>Test page</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
    <h:form>
        <h:commandButton id="button1" value="do nothing" action="#{myController.doNothing}" />
        <h:commandButton id="button2" value="generate NPE" action="#{myController.generateNpe}" />
    </h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
My web.xml:

<error-page>
    <exception-type>java.lang.NullPointerException</exception-type>
    <location>/error/error003.jsf</location>
</error-page>

<error-page>
    <exception-type>javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException</exception-type>
    <location>/error/error002.jsf</location>
</error-page>

<error-page>
    <exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>
    <location>/error/error001.jsf</location>
</error-page>My questions are as follows:
1) How can we handle "regular" java exceptions like NPE?
2) How can we define a catch-all for unexpected exception types, while still respecting specific exception handlers for VEE, etc?
Thanks,
Benjamin

Is your data model right? If you are adding in one and deleting in another it sounds to me more like a process that an entity, in which case you may revisit your data model and simplify it, add in a session bean with the process method to co-ordinate between the two.
However, if you want to map multiple different tables within a single entity bean it is possible and just part of the mapping. How you actualyl specify it depends on which implementation you are working with.

Peter.

input type="file" - JSF

Hello,
in a jsf page i have some h:inputText and a <input type="file">
I want that an user click in the <input type="file">, recover a file which exists on his computer, and the jsp/jsf page recover user's filename.
I have some beans ...
If i "link" <input type="file"> and a field in a bean, for example :
<input type="file" name="fileName" value="#{fileManager.fileName}">This is don't works !
How recover "input type="file"" information to bean ?

javabus wrote:
input file doesn't support "value".
P.S
It's not a text you want to input, so you should not use h:inputText tag.
Try this:
<h:form id="MyForm" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<x:inputFileUpload id="myFileId"
value="#{myBean.myFile}"
storage="file"
required="true"/>
</h:form>Omg, you was just resurrecting an 3 year old topic! Don't do that in the future.

How to link a radio button selection to a submit destination ?

Hi,
I am working on a JSP page. Depending on the check from a radio button on a form, the form will be submitted to a different destination. Does anyone know how to do that? Any code samples?
Thanks!

This will give you an idea of how it works. Save the file and double click on it to open in IE.
<html>
<head></head>

<INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="Radio1" VALUE="1" onClick="onClickFunction(1)" >Insert Record
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="Radio1" VALUE="2" onClick="onClickFunction(2)" >Delete Record
<BR>
</P>
</form>
</body>
<Script Language="JavaScript">
function onClickFunction(inVar) {
   if (inVar == 1) { document.myForm.action="servlet/InsertRecords";
                     document.myForm.submit(); }

Interactive Report - Go button perform a page submit?

Hi,
Is it possible to obtain a normal page submit when the Go button in Interactive Report is submitted?
I would like a normal page submit as this is the reliable way to have my different check boxes and select lists saved. These checkboxes and select lists act as bind variables in the IR query, and I do not get reliable results without the page submit. You may for instance experience that the report output looks ok according to your selections, but when you then download to excel, the report content reflects the true session state values.....
Alternatively is it possible to remove/hide the Go button? I could then add a normal button to perform the page submit. I just do not like to confuse my users with two buttons..... for the same purpose....
Best regards,
Jesper

Hi,
With jQuery you can easily change that button attributes.
E.g. set button to submit page, add below to page HTML header
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('.apex_finderbar_left .formlayout td input[value="Go"]').removeAttr("onclick");
$('.apex_finderbar_left .formlayout td input[value="Go"]').bind('click',function(){
doSubmit('MYREQUEST');
</script>If you like hide button, add to page HTML header
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('.apex_finderbar_left .formlayout td input[value="Go"]').hide();
</script>Remember load jQuery javascript library also.
Here is one guide how install jQuery

Problem using javascript to submit jsf form, values not submitted

Greetings!
I have a t:selectOneMenu where I want the page to be submitted when they change the selected value. At this point, I am able to get the form to submit and reload the page, which is all fine. The problem is that none of the values from the page are not set in the backing bean. I have break points on the setter methods that are not being hit.
I have tried a number of things from searching multiple forums, but here are snippets from my latest version...
<h:form>
<t:commandLink id="hiddenLink" forceId="true" value="test link"
action="#{pc_PageX.doBtnHiddenLinkAction}"></t:commandLink>
<t:selectOneMenu id="pageList_top" forceId="true" value="#{pc_PageX.ValueX}"
     onchange="jspellSync(); submitPageX();">
     <f:selectItems value="#{pc_PageX.ListX}" />
</t:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>
function submitPageX(){
     var hiddenLink = document.getElementById("hiddenLink");
     hiddenLink.click();
}Note that the <t:commandLink> is not hidden, though it will be in the final version if I can get this to work.
If I click the commandLink myself, the page is submitted with all the page values as expected. If I change the list value, thus using javascript to fire the commandLink's click event, the page is submitted with NO values.
Can anyone come up with an explanation for this behavior? Or better yet, a solution?
A couple other things I've tried...
- Not using a commandLink and using jsf's submit function -> onchange="jspellSync(); submit();"
- Clicking the link using other ways -> hiddenLink.fireEvent('onclick');
If all else fails, I'll just add a button that they have to click to submit the form.

I recall this problem in one of the ancient JSF versions. Which JSF version do you use? Do you have any room to upgrade to latest? We're using an IBM implementation of JSF, which is at version 7.0. The IBM implementation appears to be built on the JSF base 1.1.That's not an IBM JSF implementation, they do not have any one, they just have some component libraries which runs on top of some JSF implementation. RAD/WSAD ships by default with Sun JSF RI. Try upgrading to at least 1.1_02 which you can download from the aforementioned link. There's a gap of 2 years (and inherently a lot of bugfixes) compared to 1.1. If the application server used supports Servlet 2.5, you could even upgrade to the latest 1.2.
We've had other issues with the IBM implementation, which could be the cause in this case too. We've been talking about switching to MyFaces, but there is one feature of the IBM version that we like. It's basically a script collector (hx:scriptCollector) that allows us to do pre-processing on the page.As said before, IBM does not have a JSF implementation. So replacing RI by MyFaces wouldn't make any difference.

Can't submit JSF using Javascript

I apologize if this is an obvious newbie question.
I have a simple JSF page with a component users can click on to select a number. Using Javascript, I populate a textbox with the number they select, then attempt to submit the form, also using Javascript. But this doesn't work.
The form submits and returns as though the user had submitted without a value in the textbox, and then their number appears in the textbox (it should be empty at this point).
The form works fine if I use Javascript only to set the value in the textbox and require the user to manually press the Submit button.
TIA for any help!

Sorry, this is in the wrong place (and I can't find a way to delete it). Please ignore.

Problem to set the path of browser button in a textbox in JSF

Hai guys I have a page which has a textbox and a command button. When I click the command button, a save dialogue box opens through which I can navigate to only DIRECTORIES and save my content. Therefore in the backend bean I have used a JFileChooser to invoke, I get the folder path, now my problem is to place this path into the textbox. How can I do that?
I have used the fileUpload tag but in this it select only the files but not the folder? Can anyone suggest me the solution?

Java runs at the server side, so also Swing components. The client will only see the JFileChooser if it runs at the same machine as where the server runs. Which wouldn't occur in real world.
I have used the fileUpload tag but in this it select only the files but not the folder? Can anyone suggest me the solution?This is not possible with HTML or any other client side code. As JSF just wraps and renders HTML, it can also do nothing for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or Web Start application which can select directories and send it to the server side.
