Primefaces Dialog Framework: Dialog not opening

I am using dialog framework to open a new xhtml page on click on a command link. The problem is that the code to open dialog is executed but nothing happens.

My XHTML code that invokes new dialog.

<h:outputScript name="jquery/jquery-plugins.js" library="primefaces"/>
<h:outputScript name="jquery/jquery.js" library="primefaces"/>


<p:commandLink value="Create Customer">
    <p:ajax event="click" listener="#{bookingController.createCustomer}" />
</p:commandLink>

Invoked method in BookingController.java

public void createCustomer()
{

    // showMessageInDialog works fine but openDialog doesnt,
    // RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().showMessageInDialog(new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO,
    // "What we do in life", "Echoes in eternity."));
    Map<String, Object> options = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    options.put("modal", true);
    options.put("draggable", false);
    options.put("resizable", false);
    options.put("contentWidth", 500);
    options.put("contentHeight", 100);
    options.put("includeViewParams", true);
    RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().openDialog("/test",options,null);
    // Tried below also.
    // RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().openDialog("test",options,null);
    // RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().openDialog("/hms/test",options,null);
}

test.xhtml under root webapp folder

Solution

  • Do you change listener="#{bookingController.createCustomer}" for actionListener="#{bookingController.createCustomer}" ? 

    <p:commandLink value="Create Customer">
    <p:ajax event="click" listener="#{bookingController.createCustomer}"/>
</p:commandLink>

    to

    <p:commandLink value="Create Customer" actionListener="#bookingController.createCustomer}">
