Bean method not being invoked

Question

Turns out that faces-config.xml was overriding the inline annotation ViewScoped in my Controller class w/ RequestScoped. Fixed it and that seem to solve the problem.

This question does not have an answer here commandButton/commandLink/ajax action/listener method not invoked or input value not updated and if you think it does, please provide a working fix/example using primefaces fluidGrid extension.

I am using primefaces ui exension fluidGrid : http://fractalsoft.net/primeext-showcase-mojarra/sections/fluidgrid/dynamic.jsf

I can't seem to invoke profileController.testControl() , if I place the commandButton outside of the fluidGrid it works fine , but not within the grid. Any ideas?

I've tested by changing my bean to @ViewScoped , there are no nested forms etc.

@LuiggiMendoza I added some more code, is there anything more that you need to see to maybe get an idea of what's happening? — Fabii, May 09 '14 at 15:55
Have you checked the generated HTML code to see if there aren't nested `
`s? — Luiggi Mendoza, May 09 '14 at 15:56
But from your code, this doesn't seem to happen. Try to move all this code in a single working page to replicate it. — Luiggi Mendoza, May 09 '14 at 15:59
@LuiggiMendoza ahh ok, I will move everything into a single page and see if the problem still occurs. Note the issue only arises when I nest the commandButton within a fluidGridItem. If I place the button outside of the fluidGridItem it works. This does me no good though. — Fabii, May 09 '14 at 16:04
If it doesn't work even there, I recommend you to add an entry in primefaces forum and report a bug about it. — Luiggi Mendoza, May 09 '14 at 16:05
@LuiggiMendoza Moved everything onto a single page and it still does work. I will look into reporting a bug to primefaces. Thank you. — Fabii, May 09 '14 at 16:14
is there a js error? is there a request on click? however there's no component with id="fluidgrid" and your second button targets it. — Michele Mariotti, May 17 '14 at 01:18

I've tried the simple example of having command button inside fluidGrid and it works here.

ManagedBean code

package bean;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;

import org.primefaces.extensions.model.fluidgrid.FluidGridItem;

@ManagedBean(name = "tBean")
@ViewScoped
public class TestBean implements Serializable{

    private List<FluidGridItem> images;

    @PostConstruct
    protected void initialize() {
        images = new ArrayList<FluidGridItem>();

        for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
            for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
                images.add(new FluidGridItem("i" + 1));
            }
        }
    }

    public void doAction() {

        System.out.println("Im doing action");
    }

    public List<FluidGridItem> getImages() {
        return images;
    }
}

Try above and see if that works for you. If it works then try to use in your implementation.

I wasn't able to get it work in my project, I'm assuming in might be due to some issues with components within components. I created a barebones project and the bean method is invoked as it should be. — Fabii, May 20 '14 at 04:54

I have sometimes problem with rendered and button not being invoked. Make sure that your rendered="#{!showvar.isSeries()}" works correct or remove it and try again.
