I'm using JSF 2.0 and I want to invoke a function defined in a Java controller when I click on an ace:textEntry.
I tried in this way:
<ace:textEntry readonly="true" value="#{myController.getValue()}"
onclick="#{myController.myFunc()}"/>
but when my page is open, the click event is called instantly.
So, I tried with:
<ace:textEntry readonly="true" value="#{myController.getValue()}">
<ace:ajax event="click" listener="#{myController.myFunc()}"/>
</ace:textEntry>
but my page is not rendered.
Is there another way to implement this behaviour ?
PS: I can use similar JSF components instead of ace:textEntry too.
First, you do not access getters directly in JSF for value backing - you access the property. Secondly, you should call the listener with the correct signature. To correct your example I would first rewrite the call like this,
<ace:textEntry readonly="true" value="#{myController.value}">
<ace:ajax event="click" listener="#{myController.myFunc}"/>
</ace:textEntry>
Then define MyController, like this;
@Named
@ViewScoped
public class MyController {
private value;
public String getValue() {
return value;
}
public void setValue(String value) {
this.value = value;
}
public void myFunc(javax.faces.event.AjaxBehaviorEvent event) {
/* Do somethinig here... */
}
}
