Right Martin, so your code allows me to select the children to refresh via Ajax.
My question was how can trigger the logic processing in the ParentClass automatically. As you noted in the code, the child panels will have to remember to call the parent.update(t) line. I'm fine with that solution, but I was wondering if there was another way. For example would that page's onBeforeRender get called automatically if a link's onClick is called? The more I think about it it feels like I'll use: parent.update(ajaxReqTarg, PayloadType.MONITOR). Then each child panel will implement an interface like: 'getPayloadSubscriptions()' and if any report that they care about 'MONITOR'ing payload they would get added to the AjaxRequestTarget since each render needs to report what type of payload update we are looking for.. -Clint On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 1:36 AM, Martin Grigorov <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Clint, > > I'd recommend to look in AjaxRequestTarget itself. > It has addChildren(parentInstance, Child.class) method with update all > children with type Child of this parent. > Check also AjaxRequestTarget.IListener. > Or add ParentClass#update(AjaxRequestTarget) so you can do: > AnotherClass#onEvent(ART t) {...; parent.update(t);...} > > On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 7:51 AM, Clint Checketts <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I want to create a parent panel that will have several child panels.
