How can I make ajax working in t:datatable column where t:datatable is in t:datalist?

I'm new to JSF. In my case I want to display several tables (for that purpose I'm using datalist - number of tables will known at runtime) and in each datatable row I need to execute some handler after checkbox has been checked (without any submit button - it will called later).

In code below

<f:ajax listener="#{dataListTry.run(o)}" event="change" render="some_datatable_id"/>

will be called after button have been submitted, but I need to refresh after checkbox will be checked, without submitting button. If I use datatable without datalist, callback calls without any problem. How can I make callback works in datatable which is in datalist ?

Example of code:

And beans are: PackageItem:

@ManagedBean(name = "packageItem")
@SessionScoped
public class PackageItem {


  public boolean selected;
  public String prefix;

  public PackageItem(String prefix) {
    this.prefix = prefix;
  }

  public boolean isSelected() {
    return selected;
  }

  public void setSelected(boolean selected) {
    this.selected = selected;
    setPrefix("selected after submit");
  }

  public String getPrefix() {
    return prefix;
  }

  public void setPrefix(String prefix) {
    this.prefix = prefix;
  }

}

PackageGroup:

@ManagedBean(name = "packageGroup")
@SessionScoped
public class PackageGroup {

  private List<PackageItem> packageItems;

  private int value;

  private String idGroup;
  private String resultValue = "Created";

  public PackageGroup(String groupId, int groupName, String value, String value2) {
    this.idGroup = groupId;
    this.value = groupName;

    packageItems = new ArrayList<>();
    packageItems.add(new PackageItem(value));
    packageItems.add(new PackageItem(value2));
  }

  public PackageGroup() {
  }

  public List<PackageItem> getPackageItems() {
    return packageItems;
  }

  public void setPackageItems(List<PackageItem> packageItems) {
    this.packageItems = packageItems;
  }

  public void run() {
    doClickAction();
  }

  public void run(PackageItem p) {
    doClickAction();
    this.resultValue = p.prefix;
  }

  private void doClickAction() {
    packageItems.forEach(e -> e.setPrefix("selected!"));
  }

  public int getValue() {
    return value;
  }

  public void setValue(int value) {
    this.value = value;
  }

}

PackageGroups:

@ManagedBean(name = "packageGroups")
@SessionScoped
public class PackageGroups {

  private List<PackageGroup> packageGroupList;

  public PackageGroups() {
    packageGroupList = new ArrayList<>();
    packageGroupList.add(new PackageGroup("100", -1, "one", "two"));
    packageGroupList.add(new PackageGroup("200", -2, "three", "four"));
  }

  public void moveBack() {
    packageGroupList.clear();
    packageGroupList.add(new PackageGroup("100", -1, "one", "two"));
    packageGroupList.add(new PackageGroup("200", -2, "three", "four"));
  }

  public List<PackageGroup> getPackageGroupList() {
    return packageGroupList;
  }

  public void setPackageGroupList(List<PackageGroup> packageGroupList) {
    this.packageGroupList = packageGroupList;
  }

}

In posted html view if you check at the checkbutton under Table_% it will execute and change names of other two checkboxes (for example, if you check Table_0 one and two will change their names). But if you check checkboxes near, for example, one and two, they will change their names only after executing button submit, but I need to get them changed after I clicked on them without need to call button submit.

Solution

  • Finally found the solution. If forceId and forceIdIndex wouldn't set to true, then the ajax callback works.
