Partial Page Renderring (PPR) fails for commandLink within ADF Table

There are 2 ways to get this to work.

Option #1

Follow the technique shown in the blog entry below.

Dynamically-Updating JSP Graph in JSF Page
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html#88

In that example the backing bean for the page illustrates how to allow an updateable UIComponent in a table to trigger partial page rendering for other elements in the page by programmatically calling the ADF Faces addPartialTarget API.

Option #2

1. Make sure the af:table containing the af:commandLink has its id set.
2. Set the PartialSubmit property for the af:commandLink to true.
3. Set the PartialTriggers property for the af:outputText to the following.

tableId:commandLinkId

For example, if the id of the af:table is myTableId and the id for the af:commandLink is cmdTradeName, then the PartialTrigger property for the af:outputText should be set to.

myTableId:cmdTradeName

Example as follows.

<h:form>
 <af:table value="#{bindings.findAllPipelineData1.collectionModel}"
           var="row" rows="#{bindings.findAllPipelineData1.rangeSize}"
           first="#{bindings.findAllPipelineData1.rangeStart}"
           emptyText="#{bindings.findAllPipelineData1.viewable ? 'No rows yet.' : 'Access Denied.'}"
           id="myTableId">

   ......
 
   <af:column sortProperty="tradeName" sortable="false"
              headerText="#{bindings.findAllPipelineData1.labels.tradeName}">
     <af:commandLink text="#{row.tradeName}" id="cmdTradeName"
                     partialSubmit="true" immediate="true">
       <af:setActionListener from="#{row.tradeName}"
                             to="#{sessionUser.data}"/>
     </af:commandLink>
   </af:column>
 </af:table>
 <af:outputText value="#{sessionUser.data}"
                partialTriggers="myTableId:cmdTradeName"/>        
</h:form>
