Call backing bean from p:inputText ondblclick - primefaces

Question

I need to do a double click on a p:inputText inside a p:dataTable so that it will bring me to another page and launch the details. Is it possible to call backing bean method from Primefaces p:inputText ondblclick?

Answer 1

p:inputText is a normal input in the end, you can use jQuery to register ondblclick on it, then you can call a p:remoteCommand to reach your bean.
I assume you would have multiple inpuText since you have a dataTable.
xhtml
<p:dataTable var="car" value="#{bean.cars}">
<p:column headerText="Model">
<p:inputText value="#{car.model}" styleClass="dbClickInput" />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
<p:remoteCommand name="callDetailsCommand"
actionListener="#{bean.callDetails()}" />
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.dbClickInput').dblclick(
function() {
callDetailsCommand([{name: 'carModelValue', value: $(this).val()}]);
}
);
});
</script>
Bean
public void callDetails() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Map map = context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();
String carModelValue = (String) map.get("carModelValue");
}
Hope this helps.
