commandLink/commandButton problem

[pdaniel]

Hello. I am in a portal environment. I am trying to create a link to a new page in my portlet using commandLink or commandButton. My files :

faces-config

<navigation-rule>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>newdocument</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/portlets/myportlet/jsf/newdocument.jspx</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

in my file were the button reside:

<a4j:form>
<h:commandLink action="newdocument">
<h:outputText value="Document nou" />
</h:commandLink>
</a4j:form>

When i click on the link nothing happens. Someone have any idea?

[pdaniel]

someone ?

I don't know if it matters, but I don't see a <from-view-id> in your faces-config. You could try it this way:

<navigation-rule>
 <from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
 <navigation-case>
 <from-outcome>newdocument</from-outcome>
 <to-view-id>/portlets/myportlet/jsf/newdocument.jspx</to-view-id>
 </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

unfortunately i've added a from-view-id without results.

Do you know that the post passed the validation stage successfully? If validation failed, would the navigation be processed?

[sergeysmirnov]

right, if you have a problem with navigation, the first thing you have to check is how application comes though the lifecycle. If validation is failed, no reason to spend time playing with navigation rules stuff.

I am new to JSF, so maybe my questions seems dump, but how can i see if the validation passed? In jboss i have no errors.

[sergeysmirnov]

put <rich:messages /> somewhere on the page.

[pdaniel]

I've added the rich:messages. I have no message. The javascript error still persist : Unknown runtime error. No server side error.

Is the /portlets/myportlet/jsf/newdocument.jspx relative path inside your war ?

[pdaniel]

Yes it is.

[sergeysmirnov]

You need to check somehow how the JSF lifecycle is passed during this Ajax request. Set up a phase listener and see for passing phases. The 5th phase should be passed for invoking the action and action methods.

pdaniel: Any updates?

[pdaniel]

Unfortunately i didn't managed to resolve the problem. I am a bit disappointed about all this problems that i have.
