OK,
That function afterLoad - I meant pageIsComplete :)
here's how i have done it:
On the page I have following code:
<tc:panel width="0" height="0">
<tc:script>
function doAfterLoadingReportsBrowserTab()
{
if (!Tobago.pageIsComplete)
{
setTimeout('doAfterLoadingReportsBrowserTab()', 50);
}
else
if(document.getElementById('overview:reportsBrowserTab:storedReport')
!= null)
{
Tobago.submitAction('overview:reportsBrowserTab:storedReport',
false);
}
else
{
return;
}
}
doAfterLoadingReportsBrowserTab();
<tc:link
label=""
id="storedReport"
transition="false"
action="#{reportsBrowserManagedBean.reportsBrowserController.getReport}"
rendered="#{reportsBrowserManagedBean.reportsBrowserController.fetchReport}"/>
</tc:script>
</tc:panel>
And here is your button:
<tc:link label="#{bundle.catalogExport}"
actionListener="#{excelExport.exportToExcel}"
action="#{excelExport.exportToExcel}" transition="false">
You have to change yout excelExport method, so it only creates a file
and stores it somehow and sets fetchReport to true. You also want to
set transition to true
So, after clicking your button, the same page reloads, but this time
the link with id storedReports is rendered. The included javascript
checks if it exists - and now it does - so it submits the getReport
action - which sends your file to the browser (as described here:
http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Sending_Files) and sets fetchReport to
false for obvious reason.
Perhaps it is not a clean solution, but I didn't come up with anything better

Hi Michal,
Thanks for your reply,
i have couple of doubts in the solution you provided.
before that let me explain my case.
I have a link which will generate the excel export of all the products,
According to my current Code my <tc:link> will be like this:
<tc:link label="#{bundle.catalogExport}"
actionListener="#{excelExport.exportToExcel}"
action="#{excelExport.exportToExcel}" transition="false">
NB: for this i'm making transition as false
My questions are:
1) How can we set one action for two events i.e generating excel stufff
(calling Controller) and setting an element on the page(with Specific ID).
2) Can you provide a sample code snippet so that it will be helpful for me
to get an idea.
3) I search for afterLoad method in Tobago but i dont find any methods
similar to that, Can you provide code for the java Script and how we will
call.
Please provide me Sample Code Snippet, that will be greatly helpful for me.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks,
Vinay
