Hello,

When I include a 'disabled' attribute on an a4j:commandButton, the button's action is not performed. Taking the 'disabled' attribute out causes it to work properly. I am not doing any special validation (that I'm aware of) and am not seeing any validation error messages.

Here is part of my page:

<t:dataTable id="myTable"
             var="region"
             value="#{MyPageBackingBean.regions}"
             width="100%">

...

<a4j:commandButton value="Update"
                   action="#{region.doUpdate}"
                   oncomplete="alert('done');"
                   disabled="#{!empty region && region.messageEmpty}"
                   immediate="true"/>

...

</t:dataTable>

Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit:

I tried setting preserveDataModel="true" on the t:dataTable to no avail.

I also made a test having an a4j:commandButton and text box with no data table, but the backing bean action is still not being fired:

      <h:form>
     <a4j:region>
        <a4j:outputPanel id="testregion">
        <h:messages id="messages"/>

                          <a4j:status>
                             <f:facet name="start">
                                <h:graphicImage value="/images/progress_indicator.gif"/>
                             </f:facet>
                          </a4j:status>

                       <h:inputTextarea
                             rows="5"
                             value="#{MyPageBackingBean.myValue}"
                             style="width:100%; border: 1px solid #99CCFF;">
                          <a4j:support event="onkeyup"
                                       reRender="testregion"
                                       eventsQueue="messageModificationQueue"
                                       ignoreDupResponses="true"
                                       requestDelay="500"/>
                       </h:inputTextarea>

                       <a4j:commandButton id="doDelete"
                                          value="Delete"
                                          action="#{MyPageBackingBean.dummy}"
                                          reRender="testregion"
                                          disabled="#{empty MyPageBackingBean.myValue}"/>
                    <h:outputText value="#{MyPageBackingBean.myValue}"/>
        </a4j:outputPanel>
     </a4j:region>
  </h:form>

Here is the new backing bean code used for testing:

private String m_myValue = null;
   public String getMyValue()
   {
      return m_myValue;
   }
   public void setMyValue(String value)
   {
      m_myValue = value;
   }
   private String mystr2 = null;
   public String dummy()
   {
      mystr2 = "hello";
      return null;
   }

Thanks!
