Possible bug when using Facelets?

[djn]

Hi.

I'm working on a project using Seam 2.0.2CR2 and trying to learn Seam does it's magic. I use JBoss 4.2.2 and Facelets.

Unfortunately I'm are having some problems with handling NotLoggedInExceptions and redirects with ui:debug in Facelets.

In the global template, I have <ui:debug hotkey="m"/> defined at the bottom of the page.

I have a page that lists some data, using a <h:dataTable>. In each row I have <s:link> for editing and for deleting. Outside the table there is <s:link> to create a new entry. The datamodel used to render the datatable is session scoped and editing / deleting / creation is conversation scoped (and on seperate pages). When logged in and no timeouts occur it works like a charm.

Trying to simulate timeouts, I log in and navigate to the page with the <h:dataTable> and then clear my session cookies. I then try two things:

1. I click the Create new link and I'm redirected to the login page, I login and I'm redirected back correctly.


2. I click the Edit link on one of the entries and I enter a infinite redirection loop until Firefox complains.

If I remove the ui:debug from the template, all works well. Also, it appears that ui:debug is unable to access the component tree (nothing happens when clicking the link, except javascript errors).

If ui:debug is intentionally broken, perhaps it should be mentioned in the seam documentation?

As per the examples in the documentation I've put the following in components.xml:

<event type="org.jboss.seam.security.notLoggedIn">
  <action execute="#{redirect.captureCurrentView}"/>
</event>
<event type="org.jboss.seam.security.postAuthenticate">
  <action execute="#{redirect.returnToCapturedView}"/>
</event>

And in pages.xml:

<pages ... 
       login-view-id="/login.xhtml">
...
<exception class="org.jboss.seam.security.NotLoggedInException">
  <redirect view-id="/login.xhtml">
    <message severity="warn">You must be a logged in to use this feature</message>
  </redirect>
</exception>

<exception>
  <end-conversation/>
  <redirect view-id="error.xhtml">
    <message severity="error">Internal server error, please try again.</message>
  </redirect>
</exception>
</pages>
