JSF f:event preRenderView is triggered by f:ajax calls and partial renders, something else?
- by Andrew
So we have an f:event:
<f:metadata>
<f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{dashboardBacking.loadProjectListFromDB}"/>
</f:metadata>
Which is triggered as desired on initial page load (render).
However this preRenderView event is also triggered by an ajax partial page render, which re-renders an h:panelgroup with the id projectListing, as below.
<h:commandButton action="#{mrBean.addProject}" value="Create Project"
title="Start a new project">
<f:ajax render="projectListing" />
</h:commandButton>
I only want the dashboardBacking.loadProjectListFromDB to be called for the initial page render, but not when there is an ajax partial render. Is there a more appropriate event or method I could be using?
