Error in OutputChart image map

Hello,

I'm playing around with the outputChart component and discovered, that there is a problem, when you want to use an actionListener. In this case an image map is rendered. Unfortunately the http attribute gets the value Code:

return false;

. I think what had been intended was to invalidate this link. This could be done by using Code:

javascript;

.
To make a proof of concept I patched the code of com.icesoft.faces.component.outputchart.OutputChart in the method generateClientSideImageMap.

The new method.

Code:

    
 void generateClientSideImageMap(DOMContext domContext, Element map) {
         if (isClientSideImageMap()) {
             Iterator area = getGeneratedImageMapArea().values().iterator();
             while (area.hasNext()) {
                 ImageMapArea areaMap = (ImageMapArea) area.next();
                 Text areaNode = domContext.createTextNode(areaMap.toHTML(
                         "title ='" + areaMap.getLengendLabel() +
                         getParentFormId() + "']['" + ICE_CHART_COMPONENT +
                         "'].value='" + getClientId(getFacesContext()) +
                         "id-key" + areaMap.hashCode() +
                         "';iceSubmitPartial(document.forms['" +
                         getParentFormId() + "'],this,event); return false;\""));
                 map.appendChild(areaNode);
             }
         } else {
             //logging client side image Map was not enabled
         }
     }

I hope this helps and the code can be used in the next release.

Achim.

Hi Achim,

You didn't mentioned what kind of problem you were facing. There are many applications including the component-showcase are using the actionListener on the outputChart component and no problem ever been reported.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm facing a problem with pie2D chart that on pie image click actionListener is never called! I'm using release 1.7.2 SP1 1.7.2_11 (2008-11-26 14:15 MST)

I do see that actionListener does get called for a *bar* chart in component showcase demo. Is is also supported for *pie2D* chart? What may I be missing here? (the code is exactly same as that in component showcase.)

Thanks.

I'm having the same issue with ICEfaces 1.8.1, for some weird reason, it is navigating away from the page to a non existent page (myCurrentUrl + return false).

What should i do?

Hi Abhijit,

The pie2D supports clicks, you just need to add actionListener to it and the component should fire the ActionEvent on clicks.

Thanks,

Achim's suggested fix applied.
