    Possible to open new window with s:link?

    chane Apr 8, 2006 12:59 PM

      I have just started to seriously work with Seam (and actually this is my first app with JSF/facelets also). I am trying to get the following use case to work and am wondering if it is possible with Seam (or maybe this is a generic JSF question).

      Basically, I have a search screen that returns a results screen in a <h:dataTable/> (standard stuff). From here I would like the user to be able to open one of the detail records in a new window (right click open in tab in firefox).

      In our current struts app, this isn't a problem (since all state is passed in the URL).

      To use a common example, I am trying to modify the seam-issues example application findIssue.jsp. The link on the issue description is currently a commandLink:

      <h:commandLink value="#{issue.shortDescription}" action="#{issueEditor.select}"/>


      When this link is clicked navigates to the editIssue.jsp. When I open this link in a new tab, the findIssue.jsp page is redisplayed.

      I have been trying to use the <s:link /> ui command to allow the user to open this link in a new window (I use firefox for testing purposes if that might make a difference) without any success.

      Should it be possible to open the issue in a new tab/window? Any suggestions on how to do this with JSF/Seam?

      If this is really a gernic JSF question and I should go ask in the JSF/MyFaces forums, not a problem. I'm trying to learn a few new pieces at the same time.....

      Thanks,
      Chris....

          Look at booking example. There are explanations opened in new window.

            Yes, the CVS version of the booking demo does exactly this.

              Excellent!

              I just grabbed the latest CVS code and the example works great!

              However, I can't seem to make it work in my simple application. Is there any special setup I need to do in order to use the Seam UI components? I have my sample appication working almost identically to the booking example (except the link doesn't work).

              I am using the latest Seam CVS code (4/9/2006 8:00pm EST). I have recompiled
              - jboss-seam.jar
              - and jboss-seam-ui.jar and put it into my war (inside the ear).

              When I navigate to my page that has the <s:link /> and execute the link... the link just opens the same view again (the results list). I am expecting the view.xhtml to open.

              Here is the Search Action I am using:

              package com.sample;

@Name("personFinder")
@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
@Interceptors(SeamInterceptor.class)
public class ActionPersonFinder implements IPersonFinder, Serializable{

 private static final long serialVersionUID = -730689360852969695L;

 private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(ActionPersonFinder.class);

 @DataModel
 private List<Person> personList;

 @DataModelSelection
 private Person selectedPerson;

 @In(create = true)
 private EntityManager entityManager;

 @Begin(join=true)
 public String find(){
 log.fatal("FINDING! em["+entityManager+"]");

 Query query = entityManager.createQuery("from com.its.entity.contact.Person");
 personList = (List<Person>) query.getResultList();

 log.fatal("FOUND!");

 return "found";
 }

 @End
 public String cancel(){
 return "cancel";
 }

 @Destroy
 @Remove
 public void destroy(){
 }

 public Person getSelectedPerson(){
 return selectedPerson;
 }

 public void setSelectedPerson(Person selectedPerson){
 this.selectedPerson = selectedPerson;
 }

}


              Here is the search results.xhtml displayed from the "find" method above: 
              <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

 </h:dataTable>
 </h:form>
 </ui:define>
 <ui:define name="caption">Person Results Screen</ui:define>

</ui:composition>


              The link created on the results screen is: 
              http://localhost:8080/facelets-sandbox/results.its?contactId=1&actionMethod=personEditor.view&conversationId=9&dataModelSelection=personList[0]


              I have using propogation="false" on the s:link so that the conversationId is not generated. The results stay the same though.

              Here is the edit action. The @Create method is never called. 
              package com.sample;


@Stateful
@Name("personEditor")
@Interceptors(SeamInterceptor.class)
@Conversational(ifNotBegunOutcome="noConversation")
public class ActionPersonEditor implements IPersonEditor, Serializable{

 private static final long serialVersionUID = -3036136121465320027L;

 private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(ActionPersonFinder.class);

 @RequestParameter
 private Long contactId;

 @Out
 private Person contact;

 @Out
 private boolean editDisabled = true;

 @In(create = true)
 private EntityManager entityManager;

 @In
 private ActionPersonFinder personFinder;

 @Create
 @Begin
 public void initialize(){
 System.out.println("CREATE PERSON EDITOR");
 //start a new conversation....
 contact = entityManager.find(Person.class, contactId);
 }

 public String view(){
 editDisabled=true;
 return "view";
 }

 public String edit(){
 editDisabled=false;
 return "edit";
 }

 public String save(){
 editDisabled=true;
 return "saved";
 }

 @End
 public String cancel(){
 editDisabled=true;
 entityManager.refresh(contact);
 return "cancel";
 }

 @Destroy
 @Remove
 public void destroy(){
 }

 public Person getContact(){
 return contact;
 }

 public void setContact(Person contact){
 this.contact = contact;
 }

 public boolean getEditDisabled(){
 return editDisabled;
 }

}


              I hate to ask people to debug my code; but any thoughts on something I can try to get the link to work would be much appreciated.

              Thanks,
              Chris....

                What is your navigation rule for the "view" outcome?

                  I have tried the following with and without the <from-view-id>. And this the only navigation rule that contains <from-outcome>view</from-outcome>.

                   <navigation-rule>
 <from-view-id>/results.xhtml</from-view-id>
 <navigation-case>
 <from-outcome>view</from-outcome>
 <to-view-id>/view.xhtml</to-view-id>
 </navigation-case>
 <navigation-case>
 <from-outcome>edit</from-outcome>
 <to-view-id>/view.xhtml</to-view-id>
 </navigation-case>
 </navigation-rule>

                      ok - I removed the <from-view-id> and it still doesn't work.

                      Also, when I look at the log file when I execute the booking demo I see the following:

<snip />


                      So, that last line says that Seam is finding the hotelBooking component.

                      When I look at the log for my sample application, there is not a line saying Seam is trying to find my personEditor component? Could I not be creating the personEditor correctly?

                      Chris...

                        Although in the log file I see the personEditor being deployed by Seam:

                          I found the issue.

                          In my s:link command, I was using ${personEditor.view}.

                          When I changed this to #{personEditor.view} it worked!

                          I found this by looking at the code in SeamPhaseListener line 104. But that is probably coincidence as I don't see how that line caused this behavior:

                          String expression = "#{" + action + "}";


                          Anyway, if possible, can the s:link action accept $ also? I have opened a JIRA for tracking:
                          http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-202

                            Why do you want to use $?? # is preferred.

                              Good to know. It's just more natural for me to read. I've worked with other languages/applications where the $ was used for expression/variable substitution.

                              It's not a problem to change my style - particularly if that is the way the jsf/facelets community is shaping up. Since el expressions can be either symbol, I just choose the dollar sign.

                              The fact the the # is recommended to use (and the $ will not work in some specific cases) should probably be documented somewhere. I'm sure not everyone wants to spend 5 hours hunting for a syntax bug :)

                              On the very positive side, the more I work with and hunt down stuff like this, I learn a lot more about Seam and EJB. I am really starting to like the framework and am overcoming my apprehension about working with an EJB application server (have used struts/web container almost exclusively for my java web development).

                              Thanks again!

                              Chris....
