Cancel button Icefaces with immediate=true

Question

I have a form with save and cancel buttons, cancel button has immediate=true but it doesn't clear the submitted values in the form. I google it and I found this page http://jira.icefaces.org/browse/ICE-1343;jsessionid=2996E8791051E9D6775348E6CE1BC118, it says that the solution is to put an action listener in the cancel button that calls a function that clear the submitted values, it works partially because when I have other tags like panels it doesn't clear them. Any solution? thanks

Answer 1

Check out the solution presented here : http://www.icefaces.org/JForum/posts/list/13807.page

I personally haven't found a good solution beside the two most obvious ones : manually traverse the UI components and nullify them

Answer 2

We used partialSubmit="true" without setting the immediate attribute to true. This works in Icefaces 1.8.2, but there is one drawback. If the validation failed once, it will be executed always.

With Icefaces 2.x, the suggested way is to use singleSubmit="true", but I haven't tried it.

Answer 3

I use immediate="true" and partialSubmit="true" on cancel and something like this for actionListener

 public void cancelPopup(ActionEvent event) {
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().renderResponse();
    }
