Richfaces modal panel text display problem
I am new to JSF/Richfaces. I have a a4j:commandButton, clicking on which brings up a modal panel. I am setting 3 properties in the backing bean using a4j:actionparam within the a4j:commandButton code block. My intention is that when the button is clicked, modal window code will read these properties from the backing bean and display message appropriately. Problem: the moment the page that has the button is loaded, the getters (value is null at this point) in modal panel are already being invoked even though I haven't clicked on the button yet. The values being set using actionparam are being completely ignored. If I am not very clear describing the problem, please ask me questions.
-----------------
Button code
-----------------
<a4j:commandButton value="Reconcile"
disabled="#{ViewResult.reconciliationNotAllowed}"
oncomplete="javascript:Richfaces.showModalPanel('confirmPanel');">
<a4j:actionparam name="contentStatusCS" value="#{contentDetail.contentStatusCS}" assignTo="#{ViewResultDetail.contentStatusCS}"></a4j:actionparam>
<a4j:actionparam name="contentName" value="#{contentDetail.contentName}" assignTo="#{ViewResultDetail.contentName}"></a4j:actionparam>
<a4j:actionparam name="moduleName" value="#{contentDetail.moduleName}" assignTo="#{ViewResultDetail.moduleName}"></a4j:actionparam>
</a4j:commandButton>
--------------------------------------------------------------
Modal Panel (note the getters in the message body)
---------------------------------------------------------------
<rich:modalPanel id="confirmPanel" autosized="false" keepVisualState="false" width="400" height="150">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Confirm Delete" />
</f:facet>
<h:panelGroup layout="block" styleClass="scrolls">
<h:form>
<center><rich:spacer height="20" />
<h:panelGrid columns="1">
<h:outputText value="Do you want to delete the #{ViewResultDetail.contentStatusCS} content #{ViewResultDetail.contentName} from content store [name]?" />
</h:panelGrid> <rich:spacer height="30" /> <h:panelGrid columns="2">
<a4j:commandButton value="OK" onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('confirmPanel');" />
<a4j:commandButton value="Cancel" onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('confirmPanel');" />
</h:panelGrid>
</center>
</h:form>
</h:panelGroup>
</rich:modalPanel>

Bind the field value to the property in backing bean so you can easily get it in your method.
Aha, you mean user selection in the modal panel?
Well, same as you do in the commandButton which you use to raise modalPanel, use action or actionListener on both Ok and Cancel commandButtons to call different methods of backing bean.
