Facelets XHTML refresh problem

[mail.micke]

Hi all

When editing your xhtml pages "live" does your JSF components get updated correctly in the browser?
Mine doesn't, static text does but components don't get modified untill I restart ther server.

If I add a new jsf component to the page after it has already been rendered I usually get duplicate id problems... so things are a bit troublesome for me :)

I know that this question doesn't really belong in this forum but figured that many of you are probably using jboss with richfaces and facelets and might be able to help me.
(have posted on the facelets users mailing list, but no replies so far :( )

My setup:
jboss 4.0.3-SP1
facelets 1.1.14
richfaces 3.1.2.GA
myfaces 1.1.5
jdk 1.5
seam 1.2.1.GA

I have the usual facelets context parameters in my web.xml

 <context-param>
 <param-name>facelets.DEVELOPMENT</param-name>
 <param-value>true</param-value>
 </context-param>
 <context-param>
 <param-name>facelets.REFRESH_PERIOD</param-name>
 <param-value>1</param-value>
 </context-param>

Also tried adding the following meta tags to my pages:

<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache"/>
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />

Thanks,
Mike

I have the same problem, which is quite annoying.
When I restart a session, the page is displayed normally, but it is still annoying to restart a session a lot.

It looks like only (some) richfaces components have this problem.

Hi Joel

What do you mean with "restart a session"? Resetting the user session somehow?

I have the same problem
did you found any solution?

can the problem be relatad to IE cache?

[meurisse]

Yes, indeed, we have a 'log out' button in our application which invalidates the http session. Opening a new browser does also the trick of course. (But somehow it does not work using the menu "File-new-window" of IE, you have to open a new IE via the OS... And firefox does not handle more than 1 session at all, even opening a new window....)

I don't think that it is a cache problem. I don't think it is necessary to disable the IE cache, but I did anyway during development.

Interesting solution to invalidate the session, might have to implement that.

Perhaps you could post on the facelets users mailing list about having this problem as well? Hopefully the facelets developers will reply if more people complain about this...

myfaces-1.1.5-impl..
you talk about switching myfaces to sun JSF or only upgrade the JSF RO API ?

[mail.micke]

Hi

what I did was switch to the latest JSF 1.2 release from sun, replaced both jar files.

You have to do that and add a listener in web.xml. (I also had to remove tldCache.ser files since they contained a myfaces context listener reference).

Haven't yet tried the myfaces 1.2-SNAPSHOT which I was asked to do on the facelets mailinglist, but I'll try and do that shortly.

thanks mike.

Im using facelets and there is only a draft version for JSF 1.2..so I cannot switch to JSF 1.2..Im waiting for a release version..

Hi Imk,

The JSF RI 1.2 has bee released for a long time now and seems quite mature. It is a FCS release (First Customer Ship) which I belive is the same as final release.
