    Richfaces, a4j:include and the "refresh" button

    maykellff

      Hi, all i have a little Myfaces application that uses richfaces and a4j:include intensively. I have several pages which are included in one principal page through the a4j:include component, and the navigation between those pages is specified in the faces-config file.

      Everything works fine but when i press the "refresh" button of the browser.
      When i press the "refresh" button the application load the first page that was showed by the a4j:include component and not the actual page that is loaded by the a4j:include component. Even more when you press several times the "refresh" button the included page that is rendered by the a4j:include component change randomly between the previous pages that were loaded by a4j:include component.

      This behavior is very strange, even more because this same application previusly had the ajax4jsf jar instead of richfaces jar and everything worked ok, when i pressed the "refresh" button the a4j:include rendered the actual page it was loaded.

      There are some specific configuration i'm missing related to richfaces?
      Richfaces and Myfaces have some kind of problem related to incompatibilities between versions? (i'm using myfaces 1.1.4 and richfaces 3.1.0 or 3.1.2)

      Every suggestion will be very appreciated.

            Is refresh button an a4j button or h:commandbutton?
            If a4j, try reRendering the include tag.

            Please paste the required code.

              Is refresh button an a4j button or h:commandbutton?

              No,no, it is the browser's refresh button.

              Please paste the required code.

                Hi all, please can you help me with this issue..?

                  I had a similar issue in that I wanted to navigate away from my 'wizard' and come back to the same step.

                  I solved this by using a Seam conversation scoped bean (you could use session scoped if you're not using Seam), and setting a property currentWizardView which I used to set the view-id of the wizard. Note that I had to wrap the a4j:include in an outputPanel.

                  <a:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
                   <a:include viewId="#{myBean.currentWizardView}"/>
                  </a:outputPanel>
                  


                  Cheers,

                  Damian.
