    failure to resolve method when used in tag files

    pappy

      Hi,

      I'm trying to use ajax4jsf from a tag file. When I issue a click on a link whose action is a method, the server logs the error "Target Unreachable, identifier 'value' resolved to null" causing "internal server error" message box on the browser.

      I'm using glassfish-9.0 (b48) with JSF-1.2_03, but I don't think it is a JSF related issue, normal JSF commands work well from tag.

      I'm digging into this for several days and cannot figure what is hapenning...

      Here is the tag I'm using:

      <%@ tag display-name="t" isELIgnored="false" body-content="empty"%>
      
      <%@ attribute name="value" required="true" deferredValue="true" deferredValueType="samples.Bean"%>
      
      <%@ taglib prefix="a" uri="https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/ajax"%>
      <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
      <%@ taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
      <%@ taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>
      
      <f:subview id="t">
       <h:panelGrid id="grid" columns="8" border="1" columnClasses="display">
       <h:outputText value="#{value.value}" />
       <h:outputText value="#{value.editable ? 'T' : 'F'}" />
       <h:commandButton value="TE" action="#{value.toggleEdit}" />
       <a:commandLink value="FF" action="#{value.toggleEdit}" reRender="grid" ajaxSingle="false" immediate="false" />
       <a:commandLink value="FT" action="#{value.toggleEdit}" reRender="grid" ajaxSingle="false" immediate="true" />
       <a:commandLink value="TF" action="#{value.toggleEdit}" reRender="grid" ajaxSingle="true" immediate="false" />
       <a:commandLink value="TT" action="#{value.toggleEdit}" reRender="grid" ajaxSingle="true" immediate="true" />
       </h:panelGrid>
      </f:subview>
      


      Here is the tag invocation:
       <a:form>
       <q:t value="#{b1}"/>
       <q:t value="#{b2}"/>
       </a:form>
      


      ... and here is the bean

      package samples;
      
      import java.util.Formatter;
      import java.util.logging.Logger;
      
      @SuppressWarnings( "nls" )
      public class Bean
      {
       private final String id = IdGen.next();
      
       private boolean editable;
      
       private String value = "this is my value...";
      
       public Bean()
       {
       }
      
       public Bean( String value )
       {
       setValue( value );
       }
      
       static Bean valueOf( String value )
       {
       return new Bean( value );
       }
      
       public String getId()
       {
       return id;
       }
      
       public boolean isEditable()
       {
       return editable;
       }
      
       public void setEditable( boolean editable )
       {
       this.editable = editable;
       }
      
       public String getValue()
       {
       return this.value;
       }
      
       public void setValue( String value )
       {
       this.value = value;
       }
      
       @Override
       public String toString()
       {
       return getId() + ": " + getValue();
       }
      
       public String toggleEdit()
       {
       setEditable( !isEditable() );
      
       return null;
       }
      
      }
      


      Thanks for any help...

          Hello!

          There's the updated Glassfish version available: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v1_ur1-b14.html. Can you please try it?

            Hi,

            Thanx for your answer...

            Actually I tested with the following



            For each of the above is tested with the original JSF, then with JSF-RI-2.1_03 and today with JSF-RI-2.1_04 but got the same result.

            I still suspect is not a JSF related issue since all the JSF actions defined in the file tag work...

            <!-- This works -->
            <h:commandLink value="TE" action="#{value.toggleEdit}" />
            <!-- This doesn't work -->
            <a:commandLink value="FF" action="#{value.toggleEdit}"/>
            


            Doing some debugging I noticed that the parameter
            varMapping
            used for the MethodExpressionImpl instantiation is null when clicked on <a:commandLink/> and not null when clicked on <h:commandLink/>. Having varMapper null, the ELcontext is not able to solve the variable... Maybe this could be a starting point, see below the stacktrace

            If necessary I could provide a link for downloading the whole application - no NDA needed :)
