clear inputFields after update

How do I clear the inputfields after an update?

 

here is my VF page:

 

<apex:page Controller="AccountMaintenanceController">
<h1>Manage Salesperson Territory Assignments</h1>
    <apex:form >
    
        <apex:pageBlock title="Update Specific District or Account Ownership" mode="edit">
        
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >     	 
                <apex:commandButton action="{!updateChildAccountOwnership}" value="Update" rerender="successMsg" />	
            	<apex:commandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel" immediate="true" />	
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            
            <apex:pageMessages rendered="true" id="successMsg" />
            
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Used to update owner of specified account and related child accounts" columns="1">
                
                <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                    <apex:outputLabel value="Change Owner To" for="new_account_owner" />
                    <apex:inputField value="{!AccountToByParent.ownerId}" id="new_account_owner" />
                </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
                
                <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                    <apex:outputLabel value="District Account to update" for="account_name" />
                    <apex:inputField value="{!DistrictAccount.parentId}" id="account_name" required="true" />
                </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>          
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
            
            
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
 
Here is my controller class:
 
public class AccountMaintenanceController {
	

	private Account acctToByParent = new Account();	
	private Account parentAcct = new Account();	

	
	public PageReference updateChildAccountOwnership() 
	{	
		Account parent = [Select Id, OwnerId From Account where Id =: parentAcct.ParentId];
		List<Account> childAccts = [Select Id, OwnerId From Account where ParentId =: parent.Id];
		
		parent.ownerId = acctToByParent.ownerId;
		
		DbUtil.save(parent);
		
		List<Account> lst = new List<Account>();
		for (Account acct: childAccts)
		{
			acct.OwnerId = acctToByParent.OwnerId;
			lst.add(acct);
		}
		DbUtil.save(lst);
		
		ApexPages.Message msg = new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.Severity.INFO, 'Account ownership updated successfully.');
		ApexPages.addMessage(msg);
		
		return null;
	}
	
	public PageReference cancel() {
    	PageReference newpage = new PageReference(System.currentPageReference().getURL());
    	newpage.setRedirect(true);
    	return newpage;
  	}	

    
    public Account getAccountToByParent() { return acctToByParent; }
    
    public Account getDistrictAccount() { return parentAcct; }
}
 
 
I've tried setting the private fields to an empty string, but that did not work.
 
Thanks for any help.

The problem is that you're rerendering the pageMessages tag instead of the entire form. Set the private fields to null, then rerender the entire form instead (i.e. assign an ID to the form and have the reRender attribute reference the form's ID). In this fashion, you won't have to return a page reference, won't have to add param tags, won't have to do anything funky at all. The problem was merely a "cosmetic" issue by not rerendering the correct portion of the page.

Hey
 
Because you're returning null as your pagereference you controller is maintaining the 'session' ie. the state of your controller and all variables is being preserved, try this instead:
 
 
public PageReference updateChildAccountOwnership() 	{			Account parent = [Select Id, OwnerId From Account where Id =: parentAcct.ParentId];		List<Account> childAccts = [Select Id, OwnerId From Account where ParentId =: parent.Id];				parent.ownerId = acctToByParent.ownerId;				DbUtil.save(parent);				List<Account> lst = new List<Account>();		for (Account acct: childAccts)		{			acct.OwnerId = acctToByParent.OwnerId;			lst.add(acct);		}		DbUtil.save(lst);				ApexPages.Message msg = new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.Severity.INFO, 'Account ownership updated successfully.');		ApexPages.addMessage(msg);				PageReference pr = System.CurrentPage();                pr.setRedirect(true);                return pr;	}
 
 There is one negative implication here, your page message are not going to show up. As an alternative you might consider attaching a parameter to the pagereference before you return it and use this parm to decide whether to display a message or not.
 
Cheers,

I tried modifying my method to return the current page reference, but it returned an xml page:

		List<Account> lst = new List<Account>();
		for (Account acct: childAccts)
		{
			acct.OwnerId = acctToByParent.OwnerId;
			lst.add(acct);
		}
		DbUtil.save(lst);
		
		ApexPages.Message msg = new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.Severity.INFO, 'Account ownership updated successfully.');
		ApexPages.addMessage(msg);
		
		PageReference pr = new PageReference(System.currentPageReference().getURL());                
		pr.setRedirect(true);                
		
		return pr;
		
		//return null;
	}

Hey
 
You can either try copying the text I've created in blue(within the code box), and if that doesn't work try:
 
PageReference pr = System.Page.WhateverYourPageNameIs;
pr.setRedirect(true);
return pr;

Thanks Wes,
 
Referencing the apex page name worked and cleared the inputFields.  As you noted, the message no longer displays.  Do you have a code example of passing a parameter in the Page Referecne to display the success message?  I was trying a couple of different ways but have not been successful in getting the message to display.
 
Thanks.


WesNolte__cWesNolte__c
No problem buddy.
 
Unfortunately it becomes quite a manual process after this, eg.
 
Before you return the page reference attach a parm,
 
pr.getParameters().put('msg','0');
 
Then when the page loads fetch this parm, in the constructor maybe,
 
String msg = ApexPage.CurrentPage().getParameters().get('msg');
 
And then you'd have to style a visualforce tag on the page to display it,
 
<apex:outputPanel layout="block" style="...." rendered="{!NOT(ISNULL(msg))}">
  <apex:outputText value="..." />

</apex:outputPanel> 
 
Not so neat I know, and if anyone has a smarter way I'm keen to hear it.

The problem is that you're rerendering the pageMessages tag instead of the entire form. Set the private fields to null, then rerender the entire form instead (i.e. assign an ID to the form and have the reRender attribute reference the form's ID). In this fashion, you won't have to return a page reference, won't have to add param tags, won't have to do anything funky at all. The problem was merely a "cosmetic" issue by not rerendering the correct portion of the page.
This was selected as the best answer

I do believe the fox is right, doh! Apologies for breezing over the code..

Thanks sfdcfox...I set the private fields to null, set an id for the form tag element and added that value to the re-render attributue on the command button element.  It cleared the fields when the page posts back.  However, I did encounter small issue, the pageMessage in all three actionRegions are displaying.

Hi!
 
My inglish is very bad, sorry....
 
the problem is solved with the following code
 
public with sharing class ControllerApexVF{
//Create a variable for id url
  String idURL = null;

//Constructor
  public ControllerApexVF(ApexPages.StandardController controller){
      idGasto = controller.getId();
  }
//Method Clear or Reset

  public pagereference Reset(){
    
    PageReference newpage = new PageReference('/apex/yourAPexPage?=');    
    newpage.getParameters().clear();
    newpage.setRedirect(true);
    newpage.getParameters().put('id',idGasto);
    return newpage;
  }
<apex:page standardController="Object__c" extensions="ControllerApexVF">
	<apex:pageBlockButtons location="top" >
                <apex:commandButton value="Clear" action="{!reset}"  rerender="block" status="status" />
	</apex:pageBlockButtons>
</apex:page>
 



 }
