Strange IllegalStateException with RichFaces/Ajax4JSF

[bibinsga25]

Hi,
I am getting an IllegalStateException, which I have no clue, from my JSF/Richfaces implementation running on Tomcat 6.0.1

javax.faces.FacesException: #{customerSearch.doSearch}: /pages/includes/customer-search.jspx @35,352 action="#{customerSearch.doSearch}": java.lang.IllegalStateException

The doSearch method in my managed bean is given below

public String doSearch(){
 results=new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
 if(keyword==null || keyword.trim().length()==0){

 }else{
 keyword=keyword.trim();
 if(keyword.equals(WILDCARD_KEYWORD)){
 results=convertListToSelect(getCustomerMgr().getCustomers());
 }else if(searchBy.equals(DEFAULT_SEARCH_CLAUSE)){
 results=convertListToSelect(findCustomerByPrefix(getCustomerMgr().getCustomers(),keyword.toLowerCase()));
 }else if(searchBy.equals(ID_SEARCH_CLAUSE)){
 Collections.sort(getCustomerMgr().getCustomers());
 int fndIdx=Collections.binarySearch(getCustomerMgr().getCustomers(), new Customer(keyword));
 if(fndIdx>=0){
 results=convertObjectToSelect(getCustomerMgr().getCustomers().get(fndIdx));
 }
 }
 }
 if(results.size()==0){
 visionContext.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO,"Password updated successfully","Password updated successfully"));
 }
 return null;
 }

I am getting this error when the results.size==0 condition becomes true.Whenever an error is raised from the bean handler method,it simply returns this error

The form in the jsp page where I used to make this call is also given below

<a4j:form id="searchForm">
 <rich:panel id="searchCustomer">
 <f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Search"/></f:facet>
 <table>
 <tr>
 <td>
 <h:selectOneRadio id="searchBy" value="#{customerSearch.searchBy}">
 <f:selectItem itemValue="ID" itemLabel="Account ID"/>
 <f:selectItem itemValue="NAME" itemLabel="Customer Name" />
 </h:selectOneRadio>
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td>
 <h:inputText label="Search key" required="true" id="key" value="#{customerSearch.keyword}">
 </h:inputText>
 <rich:spacer width="5px"/>
 <a4j:commandButton accesskey="S" oncomplete="document.getElementById('searchForm:doSearch').disabled=false;" onclick="this.disabled=true;" onmouseover="goLite(this.form.name,this.name)" onmouseout="goDim(this.form.name,this.name)" styleClass="visionBtn" id="doSearch" value="Search" reRender="custList" action="#{customerSearch.doSearch}"/>
 <rich:spacer width="2px"/>
 <h:graphicImage id="searchHLP" style="vertical-align:middle" value="/graphics/help-icon.gif">
 <rich:toolTip>
 <span style="white-space:nowrap">
 <strong>Tip:</strong>Type '*' to get all Customers.
 <br/>Use<strong> ALT + S </strong>to search
 </span>
 </rich:toolTip>
 </h:graphicImage>
 </td>
 </tr>
 </table>
 </rich:panel>
 </a4j:form>

Please help me with this issue

you shoud getCurrentInstance every time before you need to add message instead of set instance once for the bean.

[bibinsga25]

My managed bean extends a base bean class.This is the code from that class

 private ResourceBundle myBundle=null;

 protected static String NAV_HOME="home";
 protected FacesContext visionContext = null;


 public BaseBean() {
 visionContext=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 myBundle=ResourceBundle.getBundle(DEFAULT_BUNDLE);
 }
 protected String readFromBundle(String key){
 return myBundle.getString(key);
 }

I am using the same visionContext protected reference in managed bean class like

visionContext.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO,"Password updated successfully","Password updated successfully"));

Is that not enough?I think you were talking about the same thing.Thanks for the reply.Kindly respond

[bibinsga25]

Thanks dude..It worked. Actually I have put my bean in session.But I was in doubt when almost same code worked for some other beans,but those were in request and I was calling the currentInstance in the constructor of the base class.Any way thanks for the quick reply.
