Hi,

 

The repeatControl uses the a SSJS variable (myJSONcategories) defined in beforePageLoad.

SSJS variables defined in beforePageLoad are not available anymore during a partial refresh.

 

Hope this helps

Hi Sven,

 

Thanks for your reply. I moved the code from beforePageLoad under a computed field within the panel that I'm trying to refresh. So the code now looks like this:

 

<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">
    <xp:panel id="panel1">
      <xp:text escape="true" id="computedField1">
        <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:

             txt = "myJSONCategories = [{'category' : 'a'},{'category' : 'b'},{'category' : 'c'}]";
             var myJSONcategories = eval(txt);
             return myJSONcategories;}]]>

         </xp:this.value>

       </xp:text>
       <xp:br></xp:br>
       <xp:repeat id="repeat1" rows="30" var="category" value="#{javascript: return myJSONcategories;}">
            <xp:link escape="true" text="#{category.category}" id="link1">
                <xp:eventHandler
                    event="onclick"
                    submit="true"
                    refreshMode="partial"
                    refreshId="panel1">
                    <xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:viewScope.selectedPeriod = "";}]]></xp:this.action>
                </xp:eventHandler>
            </xp:link><xp:br></xp:br>
        </xp:repeat>
    </xp:panel>
</xp:view>

 

It didn't work this way either. Then I moved the computed field outside the panel but nothing changed. Still no luck...

Thanks,

Hi again,

 

the problem is that recalculation of the values are not running correctly: The values of the repeat control are calculated two times during the refresh ( in JSF Phase 1 and 6 ), and the values from the computed field are only recalculated once in JSF phase 6. The SSJS variable is not available during Phase 1, that's why it fails.

 

You can use dataContext-Variables to fix this:
