Hi,
I have three different SelectOneMenu components with
ValueChangeListeners.
Each ValueChangeListener calles the same method!
If you now change the value from one of the selectOneMenus all three
ValueChangeListener
will be called, so the processValueChangePosResult method is called
three times.
I tried it also with three different ValueChangeListener methods. But
each time you change
one of the selectOneMenu's values all three changeListeners will be
called.
I suppose it depends on the onchange="submit()" method, because it
appears in all three menus...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Wolfgang
<h:selectOneMenu id="itemPosPicr"
rendered="#{currentData.renderedPicrPos}"
valueChangeListener="#{siteChanger.processValueChangePosResult"
onchange="submit()">
<f:selectItems value="#{currentData.itemPosPicr}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
public void processValueChangePosResult(ValueChangeEvent value) throws
IOException {
String selectedValue = (String) value.getNewValue();
System.out.print(selectedValue);
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect("http://www.google.de";);
}
Hi Wolfgang,
There are two workaround for this problem:
1) rather than doing onchange="submit" you can call another javascript
method which will click an invisible button(use CSS to hide the button)
which will have the required method to call as action binding. Here the
method which we want to call is cald only once.
eg:
jsp:call clickMe() a js method
<h:selectOneMenu id="itemPosPicr_3" onchange="clickMe()"
valueChangeListener="#{selectOneBean.processValueChangePosResult}">
<f:selectItems value="#{selectOneBean.map3}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
button: click is the method we want to call.
<t:commandButton forceId="true" id="displayRecords"
action="#{selectOneBean.click}" styleClass="searchButton">
</t:commandButton>
js: Use this to click . this will be inside the js method clickMe()
document.getElementById("displayRecords").click();
2) another way is to use the same way as you had implemented but add a
default value to the dropdown so that we can check with a condition.
public void processValueChangePosResult(ValueChangeEvent value) throws
IOException {
String selectedValue = (String) value.getNewValue();
if(!selectedValue.equals("default")){
System.out.println(selectedValue);
}
}
Where default is the value of the default selected item. This will help
us to prevent the line ; System.out.println(selectedValue); to be
executed 3 times.
Anyhw we cant prevent the method being cald 3 times but we can assure
that the portion to be executed is done only once.
Personally i prefer the 1st way. I have implemented like that in many
places.
