Primefaces open closable dialog programmatically

Question

I want to dynamically create a primefaces dialog from the backing bean. I have written the code above:

public void s         


        

Answer 1

You need to replace this line:

requestContext.openDialog("widget");

to that:

requestContext.execute("PF('widget').show()");     

RequestContext.openDialog() method reffers to Primefaces Dialog Framework API which is different to p:dialog component.

From primefaces user guide:

Dialog Framework (DF) is used to open an external xhtml page in a dialog that is generated dynamically on runtime.

So, RequestContext.openDialog() expects you to provide path to xhtml page as argument.

And p:dialog component have javascript api show() and hide() methods to interact with it.
