    RequestParameter problem

    mirko27

      Okay, it all works fine if I have required get parameter set.
      But what if I don`t? If user enters that page directly without any parameters.
      Then I get error: ould not set field value: cateditor.catid
      And I do not want user to visit page while not in long-running conversation.
      Unfortune @Conversational does not get started, because this error happens.
      Any design patterns to overcome this issue?

      Please help me, it`s needed hurry...

          I even can`t use a bean with requestparameter if url does not include requestparmeter. Am I doing smth wrong?

              Sorry, no-one can help because it's _your_ explanation which is insufficient.

                What I wan`t is that when user hits page ccategory.jsf when no conversation is active ,he would be directed to categorys page. Currently it just gaves me error: could not set cateditor.catid.

                Hope this one is better, I know five languages, but english is not in them... so be merciful to me.

                  It gives me trouble every time when i call bean which has requestparameter, but request does not have that parameter.
                  Giving errors and not letting me work normally. There most definitely is something that im designing wrong...

                  • 6. Re: RequestParameter problem

                    A missing request parameter is a null value. If you want to allow null values, you need to use a non-primitive type like Integer instead of int.

                      Oh my god, thank you. But how come does not entry.jsf on blog example does not break application if I make a request with not specifying blogEntryID parameter?

                      • 8. Re: RequestParameter problem

                        It is a String, so the value can be null.

                          yeah, noticed it. Anyway thank you much. You should note it in manual I think... My logic atleast tells that null = value of 0 or smth.

                            Um.

                            I have never met any programming language where null==0. Certainly not Java.
