ICEsoft.org Forums: ICEfaces, ICEmobile, ICEpdf

Hi,

Could anyone explain why the h:commandButton in the following example doesn't work, now that I've integrated ICEfaces?

It all worked before I used the context menu "ICEfaces Integration > Enable ICEfaces...".

The managed bean called "simple" just returns "success". The action listener in the same bean is correctly called.

I'm running: Tomcat 5.5.20, BEA Workshop for JSF 3.2.1, ICEfaces workshop integration 1.5.1, Sun JSF RI 1.1, Internet Explorer 6.0.

The faces-config.xml is as follows:
Code:

 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
 <!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
   "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN"
   "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd">

msanders,

1. in welcome.jspx, values taken from resource bundle should be value="#{bundle['welcomeTitle']}" instead of value="#{bundle.welcomeTitle}"

2. You have mentioned that you use Sun RI 1.1 but your web.xml shows you use MyFaces

Thanks for your reply.

These are equivalent ways to reference the entries in a map (or other indexed property): if the key is a string without a '.' in it (e.g. 'welcomeTitle') you can access the value with the '.' operator.

Here's a reference for this part of the JSP 2.0 expression language:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JSPIntro7.html#wp84857

Changing all these to the form you suggest doesn't make a difference.

My mistake. Here is the web.xml:

Sorry. I missed that there is no "." in your property name.

Based on your files you posted, I can run it on tomcat 5.5.20 without problem using workshop with icefaces capabilities added.

I attached war file here. Note faces-config has been slightly changed and dependent jar files are not included.

Hi Liming, and thank you for your reply,

Interesting. The changes you made to the faces-config.xml fixes the application, and clicking on the submit commandButton moves to the second page.

The changes are as follows:
Old Code:

   <navigation-rule>
     <from-view-id>/welcome.jspx</from-view-id>
     <navigation-case>
       <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
       <to-view-id>/success.jspx</to-view-id>
     </navigation-case>
   </navigation-rule>

New Code:

   <navigation-rule>
     <from-view-id>/welcome.iface</from-view-id>
     <navigation-case>
       <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
       <to-view-id>/success.iface</to-view-id>
     </navigation-case>
   </navigation-rule>

However, the old code, referencing the underlying jspx document, works fine using the MyFaces implementation.

Also, BEA Workshop for JSF is now complaining that it doesn't know about the navigation rules for the application. Specifically, BEA Workshop is warning that

The navigation outcome "success" returned from the "submit" action is not valid from this page.

Actually, the following works as well:
Code:

   <navigation-rule>
     <from-view-id>/welcome.iface</from-view-id>
     <navigation-case>
       <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
       <to-view-id>/success.jspx</to-view-id>
     </navigation-case>
   </navigation-rule>

Hi,

The following works with both the Sun RI and MyFaces, and also stops BEA Workshop complaining about missing navigation rules:
Code:

 <navigation-rule>
   <from-view-id>/pages/welcome.*</from-view-id>
   <navigation-case>
     <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
     <to-view-id>/pages/success.jspx</to-view-id>
   </navigation-case>
 </navigation-rule>

I'm going to investigate a bit further, and have a look at the JSF specs. I don't think I understand the definition of a "view identifier".
