[T5.1] Preserve user input while refreshing form inside zone

[Yohan Yudanara <yo...@gmail.com>]

Hi..

I'm enclosing a whole form inside zone.
And I have an AJAX actionlink to refresh the zone.

Is it possible to preserve user input while refreshing the zone?
I have problem because, when refreshing, textfield value always
discard user input and revert back to the original value.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Yohan Yudanara

Hi LLTYK :),

Thanks for the idea.
Yes, this could be the solution to preserve user input while
refreshing (not submitting) the form.
The drawback is: this will generate many traffic to the server.

Thank you for your help.

The usual way to save input is to do a form submit. Link the form to the
zone, and then submitting will trigger the update on the zone after sending
the data to the server.

However, this does not work if the form is not filled out and valid. In that
case there's a longer way:

I used the ZoneUpdater mixin on all the form components, not to update the
zone but to simply record changes serverside (returning void from the event
handler). Something like this:
<t:textfield t:id="TextField" value="value"
validate="required,minlength=3,maxLength=25"
                  t:mixins="zoneUpdater" t:zone="thezone"
t:clientEvent="keyup" event="change" />
  @Log
  public void onChangeFromTextField(String value)
  {
    this.value = value;
  }
