Re: custom dataTable and commandButton

[Ray Clark]

Well, I now have my app up and running under myFaces.  I had to do some tweeking to get the app to run under myFaces.  But it is running now.

 

I still have the same problem.  I can't get the commandButton to invoke the method in the action attribute during the invoke application phase.

 

I have a set of 5 custom tags that render a table and its associated tags.  I needed to do a custom component because the JSF DataTable doesn't support rowspan, colspan, and I think multi line column headers (ie multi tr tags in the thead tag).

 

The only message that I see is in the log at startup.  It says.

 

session.ManagerBase - Cannot serialize session attribute net.sourceforge.myfaces.application.jsp.JspStateManagerImpl.SERIALIZED_VIEW-/secure/dataentry/allAuthUser.jsp for session 1B0C75CC467BB3B9D2EB116EDD3263BB

java.io.NotSerializableException: javax.faces.application.StateManager$SerilizedView

     at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject0(Unknown Source)

     ...

 

Other than that everything seems to be running fine but it just doesn't call my method.  Anyone got any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Ray

Thanks so much for responding.

 

The page renders correctly.  The problem is that the method for the button is only invoked if I have the button under the rptTable tag.  The method doesn't get invoked if I move it anyplace else.

 

Thanks,

Ray

Do your colHdr, row, or col tags have getRendersChildren() set to
true? if so, it is your responsibility to make sure that
h:commandButton is rendered (usually, by calling the encodeBegin,
encodeChildren, encodeEnd methods).
