Rerender problem

Hi there,

 

I am having rerender issues. I have a commandLink button and when I click it I am putting a campaign record in the controller.  I have a outputPanel in the bottom of the commandLink button which holds a tabPanel. In the tabPanel, I am showing Contacts and Leads in the Campaign.  I have the rerender property of the commandLink set to outputPanel Id, because I only want to render this when they click the select button.  Also, I have an inline IF statement that checks if the campaign is null and if it's then don't render the Panel. When I click the select button it doesn't do anything. Can someone help me figure this out please. Thank you.

I figured it out. :) There is couple of issues here.

 

1. It seems you can't have rendered property set when you are rerendering the control. So I moved the rendered attribute to the tabPanel tag.

 

2. When I click the 'select' button, it doesn't reset the QuerlyLocator. So I have to null out 'con' and 'lead' on pull campaign method which is called when I click the select button.

This rings a bell for me.

 

I had something similar where I wanted to rerender an outputpanel that wasn't actually rendered when the page was originally displayed.  As I recall, I couldn't do this - it seemed like the outputpanel had to be present on the page in order to be used as a rerender target.

 

I ended up nesting the conditionally rendered outputpanel inside another outputpanel that was always rendered.

Hi Newbie - can I trouble you to post your updated code?  I'm having a similar issue and can't determine how to reset the query locator or controller.

In case others have my problem, I resolved it by ensuring the setController re-intializes even if not null:
