Apache MyFaces 1.1.0 and 2.2.0-ALPHA don't work any more

Hi,

Until recently, I could develop portlets with MyFaces impl. Now, JSF forms are no longer able to pass form parameters to backing beans and MyFaces reports

14:06:20,659 WARN [HtmlRendererUtils] There should always be a submitted value for an input if it is rendered, its form is submitted, and it is not disabled or read-only.

If I test out the web application as as a regular web app (not a portlet) it works fine. It seems that the latest changes to the Friendly URLs or Themes broke JSF apps.

Besides, when I use the friendly urls with window name at the end, Portal prints out:

14:05:25,650 ERROR [[PortalServletWithPathMapping]] Servlet.service() for servlet PortalServletWithPathMapping threw exception
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jboss.portal.core.impl.model.portal.WindowImpl

 at org.jboss.portal.core.command.mapper.PrefixDelegatingCommandMapperService.doMapping(PrefixDelegatingCommandMapperService.java:150)

When I strip the window name it displays fine. It worked 2 days ago.

Hi,

I think I have found a partial solution to the issue I reported earlier (which resulted in the ClassCastException below). Take a look at org.jboss.portal.core.model.portal.PortalObjectCommandMapper:74. Shouldn't it look as follows?

return page.getWindow(name);

instead of

return page.getPage(name);

I'm not reporting an issue in JIRA because it keeps failing and my portlet doesn't show up if it's included in a url. Anyway, worth to take a look at that part of the code.

makes sense actually, thanks

Hi,

I've just found the answer to the issue with a portlet name being appended to the friendly url.

It turned out that the last URL part referencing a portlet should have been the name of a portlet instance rather than a portlet name itself. When I think about the change it seems very reasonable since there can be several instances of a portlet on a page and using the portlet name would not point to the portlet instance to render.

I'm still having troubles with MyFaces and the latest 2.2.0-ALPHA, and no form input parameters are passed on.
