problems with migration from 3.1.4.GA to 3.2.1.GA

igor_d Jun 5, 2008 7:58 PM

Hi Rich-Faces team,
we experience 2 problems (found so far) when migrated apps from RF ver 3.1.4 to 3.2.1. They are:

1) when session is timed-out and a user clicks any link on a page he gets
javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException: viewId:/pages/pdrsUpdate.seam - View /pages/pdrsUpdate.seam could not be restored.
at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.RestoreViewPhase.execute(RestoreViewPhase.java:187)
at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.phase(LifecycleImpl.java:251)
at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.execute(LifecycleImpl.java:117)
at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:244)
In version 3.1.4 it gracefully redirected to login page with org.jboss.seam.NotLoggedIn message.

2) receive javascript error:
"not well-formed
http://localhost:8080/our-webapp-1.7.0.RC1-SNAPSHOT/sample.seam
Line 1"
in log file:
09:38:44,449 ERROR [STDERR] 6/06/2008 09:38:44 com.sun.facelets.impl.DefaultFacelet refresh
INFO: Facelet[/file:/C:/LocalDev/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp21772our-webapp-1.7.0.RC1-SNAPSHOT-exp.war/WEB-INF/lib/our-taglib-1.7.0.RC1-SNAPSHOT.jar!/tags/oneColumnLayout.xhtml] was modified @ 09:38:44, flushing component applied @ 09:38:30

We use the following configuration:
JBoss 4.2.2.GA
Seam 2.0.1.GA
Jsf faces 1.2_03
Facelets 1.1.14
RF 3.2.1

We don't experience the above problems with the following config:
JBoss 4.2.2.GA
Seam 2.0.1.GA
Jsf faces 1.2_03
Facelets 1.1.12
RF 3.1.4

I know, the 1) could be similar to http://jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=136540, but we don't use MyFaces. Switching State_Saving_Method from server to client helps, but is not good for our app.
Also for 2) change the param facelets.REFRESH_PERIOD to -1 helps, but is not good for development.
Could you please point to the right direction, if any configuration is not right or if these are known issues.

Thanks,
Igor

1. JSF 1.2 spec instead of JSF 1.1 spec requires to throw an exception if the session could not be restored. That is way you have no exception is 3.1.4, but have in 3.2.1. Missing exception does not mean missing problems in general.

2. something wrong with page or two versions of the same lib work simultaneously.
However, the info you provided is not enough to make a accurate suggestion.

igor_d Jun 6, 2008 3:33 AM (in response to igor_d)

Ok, so for the 1) we can catch the exception and redirect to the login page, or should we wait for 3.2.2 release?

2) here is an example:
web-app has 1 xhtml:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
 xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
 xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
 xmlns:t="http://test/test"
 xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">

<body>
 <a4j:form>
 <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
 <h:messages errorClass="error" warnClass="warning" infoClass="info"/>
 </a4j:outputPanel>

 <a4j:outputPanel layout="block" id="thePage">
 <table>
 <a4j:repeat value="#{testController.beans}" var="bean">
 <tr>
 <td>
 <t:helpImage/>
 </td>
 </tr>
 </a4j:repeat>
 </table>
 </a4j:outputPanel>

 <ui:include src="modalPanel.xhtml" />

 </a4j:form>
</body>
</html>

as you see it has a custom tag <t:helpImage/>. If this tag is located in the same web-app - it works ok, but if in the separate jar file (tag-library.jar), then I got:
17:25:14,223 ERROR [STDERR] 6/06/2008 17:25:14 com.sun.facelets.impl.DefaultFacelet refresh

igor_d Jun 6, 2008 3:46 AM (in response to igor_d)

Sorry, also java beans:

TestBean.java:

public class TestBean {
 private int helpCode;

 public TestBean(int helpCode) {
 this.helpCode = helpCode;
 }

 public int getHelpCode() {
 return helpCode;
 }

 public void setHelpCode(int helpCode) {
 this.helpCode = helpCode;
 }

 public String getHelpText() {
 if (helpCode == 1) {
 return "First help";
 }
 return "Some other help";
 }

}

TestController.java

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class TestController {
 private List<TestBean> beans;
 private int beanCode;

 public int getBeanCode() {
 return beanCode;
 }

 public void setBeanCode(int beanCode) {
 this.beanCode = beanCode;
 }

 public List<TestBean> getBeans() {
 return beans;
 }

 public TestController() {
 beans = new ArrayList<TestBean>();
 beans.add(new TestBean(1));
 beans.add(new TestBean(2));
 beans.add(new TestBean(3));
 }
}

and, of course their references in faces-config.xml

nbelaevski Jun 6, 2008 12:12 PM (in response to igor_d)

Igor,

Could you please your add web.xml here?

Or maybe it is possible to get example war file demonstrating the issue? That will significantly shorten time required for investigation. You can send the file to
nbelaevski at exadel dot com .
