Adding Richfaces Dropdown Menu to seamgen menu.xhtml

[traviskds]

Hi,

Does richface menuitems work with seam's slink? If not, how can I use richface's drop menu's with seam?

Basically I have an application that was generated using seamgen. I changed the menu.xhtml which is under view/layout folder so that the generated slink is put under richface's menuitem. Whenever I use the link and create a new record, I get duplicate Id for a component edit error. When I remove the richfaces menuitems, it works fine.

Any assistance is much appreciated.

Example of what I changed in menu.xhtml:

 <h:form>
   <rich:dropDownMenu>
      <f:facet name="label">
         <h:panelGroup>
         <h:graphicImage id="edit" value="/img/admin.gif" styleClass="pic"/>
         <h:outputText value="Admin Options" styleClass="menuHeaderItems"/>
         </h:panelGroup>
      </f:facet>
                
      <rich:menuItem submitMode="none">
        <s:link view="/SimpleEntityList.xhtml"
                   value="Simple Entity List"
             propagation="none" styleClass="menuHeaderItems">
             <f:param name="from"/>
        </s:link>
      </rich:menuItem>

    </rich:dropDownMenu>
  </h:form>

Yes, it works for me. In my case, I have the same thing that you have, but I took out the view and propagation attributes, and placed an action attribute on the tag. Then, in pages.xml, I intercept the action, end the conversation (you may not want to), and then redirect to another URL ( I don't know if this is what you want. My menu options take me out of the application):

<rule if-outcome="redirectToApplication">
  <end-conversation before-redirect="true"/>
  <redirect view-id="/applicationSelectionRedirector.xhtml">
            <param name="targetUri" value="#{param.targetUri}"/>
  </redirect>
</rule> 

I don't know if my suggestion does exactly what you need it to, but s:link does appear to work with RichFaces menus.
