    <p>My preRenderView event invokes OmniFaces Ajax utility's oncomplete() method to execute javascript on the client. I just tested this, and the javascript is not executed on the client.</p> <p>My f:event is below.</p> <pre><code>&lt;f:metadata&gt; &lt;o:enableRestorableView/&gt; &lt;f:event type="javax.faces.event.PreRenderViewEvent" listener="#{pageNavigationController.preRenderView()}"/&gt; &lt;/f:metadata&gt; </code></pre> <p>My pageNavigationController.preRenderView() is below,</p> <pre><code>public void preRenderView() { if (initLayoutForPage) { // initialize layout for page layoutController.initializeForPage(page); initLayoutForPage = false; } if (usersController != null) { usersController.preRenderView(); } } </code></pre> <p>which calls usersController.preReviewView() below, which invokes Ajax utility's oncomplete().</p> <pre><code>public void preRenderView() { Ajax.oncomplete("document.getElementById('menuBarForm:btnLogout').click();"); } </code></pre> <p>Currently in production, the javascript above works as designed; this javascript is called as follows.</p> <pre><code> &lt;script&gt;window.onbeforeunload = function() { document.getElementById('menuBarForm:btnLogout').click(); }&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>So, why is the javascript not being executed on the client?</p> <p>EDIT: I no longer need this functionality as I just figured out a workaround for the original problem, but I would appreciate an answer to this question. Thanks. :)</p>

    1. COI can't reproduce your problem in MyFaces nor Mojarra. To exclude the one and other, is the oncomplete script present in the ajax response or not? (check HTTP traffic log in browser's webdeveloper toolset) Try substituting with an `alert('peek-a-boo')` to have some visual feedback.

    2. COI just confirmed that Ajax.oncomplete() works as designed even when executed during/via preRenderView event. OmniFaces 'Ajax' utility is for 'Ajax' requests. I was under the assumption that OmniFaces Ajax.oncomplete() would send javascript to client during preRenderView on a FPR (full page refresh or non-AJAX request). Thanks for the response, BalusC.

    3. COYou'd rather like to use `<h:outputScript target="body">` instead or maybe `<o:onloadScript>`, depending on the concrete functional requirement.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
