RichFaces and login-required="true" in pages.xml

[j99976]

Hi,

There seems to be an issue where if you set login-required="true" against view-id="*" in pages.xml, the colours of the RichFaces components fail to render. There is no error.

Its easy to replicate, use seam-gen to generate a new project, then go to the url. It looks ok. Then modify the first in pages.xml to add login-required="true":
<page view-id="*" login-required="true">

<rule if-outcome="home">
<redirect view-id="/home.xhtml"/>




When you reload the app ( I even tried rebuilding), the RichFaces skin has disappeared. You may need to refresh to see this. When you remove the login-required attribute, the skin is back when you reload.

I found this in Seam 2.0 CR2, and its in CR3 as well. Maybe its a RichFaces issue?

Do I need to submit a JIRA ticket in Seam or Richfaces?

Thanks

Please, look at:

Maybe it can help you.

Hi Francisco,

Thanks for that, I did see it, but I think its a different issue. My problem doesn't have an error, and this issue doesn't mention losing the richfaces display graphics. Maybe it is related.

Should I update this JIRA issue, or create a new one?

Or maybe I'm configuring pages.xml wrong?

Thanks again

Version of RichFaces?

[j99976]

The one that came packaged with Seam CR2 and CR3 each. 3.1.1 for CR3. I didn't change any component libraries.

I reproduced it on a clean install with JBoss 4.2.0. I used seam-gen to make a new project, and updating pages.xml, and the problem happens either straight away, or after some usage. On CR2 it happened straight away.

Thanks for taking a look Pete.

CR3 came with RichFaces 3.1.2.GA - please try using that as it included a number of lifecycle related fixes (which this points at).

Hi Pete,

I have replicated the problem using CR3 and RichFaces 3.1.2.

I created a project using seam-gen, then I created a couple of CRUD screens via generate-entities. I set login-required="true" as above.

I acessed the url, and I logged in. I flicked around a few of the generated screens (which, I have to say is very beautiful with RichFaces out of the box. I think it beats Rails in a few ways).

Then, I logged out. I tried to go to one of the generated CRUD List screens. Some cached page appeared, it did not direct to the login screen as normal. However, I refreshed this screen, ad it directed to the login screen, but without the RichFaces skin.

Flicking around the screen, some of the Richfaces components have a skin, such as the calendar, and some tabs But the main menu skin is gone (rich:toolbar), and main content (rich:panel)

Thanks for your help. Let me know if you think I should take it up on the RichFaces forum, or create a ticket.

If you can create a reproducible example, please create a jira issue in the Seam jira and attach it.

[j99976]

Thanks Pete, I'll do that

Hi Pete, I created JBSEAM-2186. I hope its ok, first ticket I created.

Thanks

I have the same problem with a redirect in page action method :
I loose the CSS of all my simpleTogglePanels...

Pages.xml :

<page view-id="/templates/template.xhtml"
 action="#{genericSystemAction.genericAction}">
 Application
 </page>

GenericSystemAction.java :

public void genericAction(){
 if(!Identity.instance().isLoggedIn())
 if(!autoLogin())
 Pages.instance().redirectToLoginView();
...
