Portlet Container 2.0.0 CR2, Portlet Bridge and JSF 1.2 Prob

[dgashby]

Hi,

I know this is a bit bleeding edge but I was just wondering if anyone has tried this combination yet?

I've been trying to get the richfaces-basic example built from the Maven archetype working under the JBPC 2.0.0 CR2 on Tomcat 6.0. The initial view for the example portlet is successfully rendered but the processing of the request when you hit the enter key is broken.

The exact nature of the problem is dependent on the JSF 1.2 implementation being used. If using the JSF reference implementation (1.2-b20-FCS) then the request just seems to be ignored (we suspect the HTTP request parameters are not making it across to the portlet action request). When using MyFaces 1.2.2 an HTTP 500 error is returned by the SimplePortal but no exceptions are thrown either in the console or any of the Tomcat log files.

Thought I'd check here before posting this as a bug in Jira.

Cheers,

Dean

don't know with the portlet container, but it looks like a problem that is with the regular portal.

it seems that the commandLink and commandButton are not working fine.

look a these jira and related things :
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/PBR-19
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/PBR-20

and forum post :

then the request just seems to be ignored

do you have some logs in the backing bean methods, that show these methods are called ?
if so, it means it is during the rendering phase that the processing is broken...
