rm1 custom component controller is executed even though rendered=false
I have a visualforce page that has a custom component with rendered=false. In a different pageBlockSection, I have an inlineEditSupport component.
The problem is that when the page loads, it executes the constructor and methods of the custom component's controller. I wouldn't expect it to do that since rendered=false.
If I remove the inlineEditSupport component and reload the page, it does not execute the custom component controller.
How can I prevent my custom component controller from executing while keeping the inlineEditSupport on the page? Rendered=false does not seem to work.
Here is the (simplified) code:
1. Custom Component Controller
public class componentController {
public List<account> accounts{
get{
system.debug('in accounts getter');
return new List<account>();
}
set;
}
public componentController(){
system.debug('in constructor');
}
}
2. Custom Component
<apex:component controller="componentController">
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!accounts}" var="a">
<apex:column >
<apex:outputField value="{!a.name}"/>
</apex:column>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:component>
3. Visualforce Page
<apex:page controller="myController" tabStyle="Account">
<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:outputField value="{!account.name}" />
<apex:outputField value="{!account.NumberOfEmployees}" />
<apex:inlineEditSupport showOnEdit="saveButton, cancelButton" hideOnEdit="editButton" event="ondblclick"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="1">
<c:editMode rendered="false" />
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:form>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>
When the above vf page loads, the debug log will include the "in constructor" and "in accounts getter" statements.
If I remove the inlineEditSupport from the page and refresh, the debug log will not include those statements.
Any ideas?
I'm not sure "rendered" is a valid component tag attribute. If you put the component reference inside an <apex:outputPanel > like below, you may get the result you're looking for.
<apex:outputPanel rendered="false"> <c:editMode rendered="false" /> </apex:outputPanel>"rendered" is a valid attribute. See the docs. Putting the component inside an <apex:outputPanel> did not make any difference. It still called the constructor and methods on the controller. There is a similar question here.
