How to reload a JSF page from a ValueChangeEvent?
I have a selectonemenu where a change in the selection should navigate the user to the related page.
So, how do I simulate the action handling of a commandbutton using a selectonemenu control (or are there a more elegant ways to a开发者_开发问答chieve this)?
You can't go around a shot of Javascript for this. Basically you need to let the Javascript submit the request to the server side. In a HTML <select>
element (which is been generated by the JSF h:selectOneMenu
) you can best use the onchange
attribute for this. Any JS which you attach to this event will be invoked whenever the user changes the value of the element.
<h:selectOneMenu onchange="this.form.submit();">
or if you're lazy in writing, this shorthand is also correct:
<h:selectOneMenu onchange="submit()">
This will submit the form in combination with the firstnext HTML input type="submit"
element inside the same form (which is been generated by the JSF h:commandButton
).
<h:form>
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.page}" onchange="submit()" required="true">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Select page.." />
<f:selectItems value="#{bean.pages}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:commandButton value="submit" action="#{bean.submit}" />
<h:commandButton value="other" action="#{bean.other}" /> <!-- won't be submitted -->
</h:form>
You need to write logic in the action method which causes the navigation action as definied in faces-config.xml
to be taken place. Example:
public String submit() {
return this.page;
}
If you do not want to use an commandButton
, then you can also go ahead with abusing the valueChangeListener
:
<h:form>
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.page}" onchange="submit()"
valueChangeListener="#{bean.change}" required="true">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Select page.." />
<f:selectItems value="#{bean.pages}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>
In the bean you then have:
public void change(ValueChangeEvent event) {
String page = (String) event.getNewValue(); // Must however be the exact page URL. E.g. "contact.jsf".
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(page);
}
Alternatively, if you already have the desired URL's as f:selectItem
values, then you can also go ahead with just only JS and no bean actions:
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.page}"
onchange="window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Select page.." />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="home" itemValue="home.jsf" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="faq" itemValue="faq.jsf" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="contact" itemValue="contact.jsf" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:selectOneMenu onchange="document.getElementById('myform').submit();" ...>
