JSF 2.0 AJAX: jsf.ajax.request to call method not only rerender an area of page
- by gerry
Hi,
I'm looking for a soultion of the following problem:
_The is a list of links with different types of cars.
_The user can click on each car in the list and a ajax request should be sent.
_The response of the ajax request should be dependent on the id (of each car) and displayed in an panelGroup.
So what I need is a possibility to call a method on the backing-bean. Additionally, this method should be called with a car id as its parameter.
My code so far looks like:
...
<ul>
<ui:repeat value="#{carTree.getCars)}" var="car">
<h:outputScript name="jsf.js" library="javax.faces" target="head" />
<li onclick="showDetails(#{car.id});">#{car.name}</li>
</ui:repeat>
</ul>
...
<h:panelGroup id="carDetails" layout="block" style="float:left;">
// need the details of each 'selected /clicked' car here
</h:panelGroup>
...
And the method in the backing bean should look like:
public class CarTree {
...
public String getCarDetails(int carid){
return "The car details for the car id "+carid+" are......";
}
...
}
I've no idea how to call a method by using the new JSF 2.0 AJAX functionality. Please, help me...
