I got a <h:commandButton
like:
<h:commandButton id="login"
actionListener="#{bean.login}" value="Login"
styleClass="btn btn-primary btn-sm">
<f:ajax execute="@form" render="@form"/>
</h:commandButton>
and a
<p:blockUI id="block" block=":form" trigger="login" />
It is not working. The block is never shown up.
It does work with a <p:commandButton>
.
How can I achieve it with a <h:commandbutton>
. If that is not possible: Is there any workaround?
The <p:blockUI>
listens on PrimeFaces/jQuery-specific pfAjaxSend
and pfAjaxComplete
events only. Those events are triggered by all PrimeFaces ajax components, but not by standard JSF <f:ajax>
.
You've 3 options:
Replace <f:ajax>
by <p:ajax>
to let the <h:commandButton>
send a PF/jQuery ajax request instead of a standard JSF one.
<h:commandButton id="login" value="Login" action="#{bean.login}">
<p:ajax process="@form" update="@form" />
</h:commandButton>
(note: carefully read Differences between action and actionListener)
Attach a global listener on <f:ajax>
which auto-triggers the PF/jQuery-specific events.
jsf.ajax.addOnEvent(function(data) {
if (data.status === "begin") {
$(document).trigger("pfAjaxSend", [null, data]);
}
else if (data.status === "success") {
$(document).trigger("pfAjaxComplete", [null, data]);
}
});
Might have some undesired side-effects, though.
Manually trigger a specific <p:blockUI>
during <f:ajax>
events.
<f:ajax ... onevent="triggerBlockUI" />
...
<p:blockUI widgetVar="widgetBlockUI" ... />
With this JS function.
function triggerBlockUI(data) {
if (data.status === "begin") {
PF("widgetBlockUI").show();
}
else if (data.status === "success") {
PF("widgetBlockUI").hide();
}
}
Needless to say that option 1 is the most straightforward choice.
Try p:commandlink Instead. I had the same problem for h:commandlink and its solved
