I was wondering if you could call javascript inside of an ajax statment specificlly I am trying to get the following to work.
<p:commandLink id="saveButton" value="Save" >
<p:ajax event="click" actionListener="#{bean.saveButtonPressed()}" />
<p:ajax event="click" actionListener="if(#{cbean.showSaveOverlay}){saveOverlay.show();}" />
</p:commandLink>
And showSaveOverly gets set inside saveButtonPressed.
Any idea how I would do this?
Use the PrimeFaces-provided RequestContext API.
First normalize your ajax listener:
<p:ajax event="click" listener="#{cbean.showSaveOverlay}" />
Then add the script to RequestContext#getScriptsToExecute() in the action listener method accordingly:
public void showSaveOverlay() {
if (...) {
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().getScriptsToExecute().add("saveOverlay.show()");
}
}
If you're not on PrimeFaces 7.0 yet, then use RequestContext#execute() instead:
public void showSaveOverlay() {
if (...) {
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().execute("saveOverlay.show()");
}
}
