Hi,

I need to reload my component when i edit . It should not reload the whole page.

If my page is having 10 components , if i edit a component in it, only that component should be reload.

Please Provide any links to refer this concept.

When you edit a given component by opening its dialog, entering data and clicking dialog done button - the component is refreshed.

Hi Scott,

I don't want the entire page to reload after submitting the dialog.

I have read a sling concept which will enable that particular edited component to reload but not the entire page.

Could you provide any such references?

Hi,

As Scott suggested REFRESH_SELF will help.

Thanks Scott and Arun for the posts, but is there anything that can be implemented at sling level for this kind of functionality?

Hi,

What do you mean by component refresh at sling level. Sling render the content of the component in the page, do you want to alter that content? Can you please explain your use case?

Hi Arun,

In normal scenario's when I edit the dialog and submit , the whole page will reload which means all the other components which are not edited will also load again which I didn't want  to happen.

I want only the particular component to load  again instead of whole page refresh.
