pankajjain_1510 May 17, 2010 9:41 AM

i have developed a jsp as following its name is menu.jsp

<f:view>

<rich:dropDownMenu submitMode="server">
                    <f:facet name="label">
                        <h:panelGroup>
                             <h:outputText value="Inventory Control" />
                         </h:panelGroup>
                    </f:facet>
                     <rich:menuGroup value="Inventory Maintainces" >
                         <rich:menuItem submitMode="Server" value="Finished Item"
                             action="finisheditem" />
                         <rich:menuItem submitMode="Server" value="Labor code and charges "
                             action="labor_code_charges" >
                         </rich:menuItem>
                        <rich:menuItem submitMode="server" value="Metal code and prices"
                             action="metal_code_prices">
                         </rich:menuItem>
                        <rich:menuItem submitMode="server" value="Diamond codes and prices"
                             action="diamond_code_prices">
                         </rich:menuItem>
                 </rich:dropDownMenu>

<f:view>

my home page is above one. and it shows the menu correctly .

Now when user select "finisheditem" for navigation its mapping is written in faces-config.xml as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

as you are inlcuding the menu.jsp to each page, check out the f:view tag it must not be nested.
it should solve your problem , otherwise u need to send code of your page in which you are including your menu.jsp

    <jsp:include page="/jsp/common/footer.jsp" />

    </body>

    </html>

first is displayed menu.jsp as a home page. when i click on finished item , it goes to finisheditem.jsp but it shows the content of footer.jsp(dynamically included in above code) only . It skips the content of menu.jsp and content of finisheditem.jsp as well.
