Requirement: I have a pop up with two input text fields and Ok and Cancel button. on click of OK button, i have to pass user entered value in input text and suppose to call af:fileDownloadActionListener to download ODS file
Problem Faced: I was not able to close the pop up after file download
Reason : FileDownloadListener will invoke facesContext.responseComplete() so this will suppress additional processing. (you can't have two http responses for one http request)
Solution/Approach : Programmatically invoking button which has af:fileDownloadActionListener associated with it in a bean method
Here is what i have done
I have used two buttons one which is hidden and one to show on af:pop up. Here hidden button has af:fileDownloadActionListener associated with it. from the visible button action i am programmatically invoked hidden button.
my jsff code
<af:button text="OK"
id="b2"
binding="#{backingBeanScope.TestBean.bindDownloadButton}"
visible="false" clientComponent="true" partialSubmit="false">
<af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet"
filename="#{backingBeanScope.MaintainCostChangeInductionBackingBean.fileName}"
method="#{backingBeanScope.TestBean.downloadODSFile}"/>
</af:button>
<af:button text="OK"
id="b8"
actionListener="#{backingBeanScope.TestBean.downloadFromSTGData}"/>
Backing Bean code Logic
// Programatically invoking button action
public void downloadFromSTGData(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String buttonId = bindDownloadButton.getClientId(fctx);
StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
script.append("var dlButton = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + buttonId + "');");
script.append("dlEvent = new AdfActionEvent(dlButton);");
//script.append("dlButton.queueEvent(dlEvent, true);");
script.append("dlEvent.forceFullSubmit();");
script.append("dlEvent.noResponseExpected();");
script.append("AdfActionEvent.queue(dlButton, dlButton.getPartialSubmit());");
ExtendedRenderKitService erks =
Service.getService(fctx.getRenderKit(), ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
erks.addScript(fctx, script.toString());
// Get Pop up binding and call hide()
upldDwnldPopup.hide();
}
Hope this helps!!!!
