    Target unreachable after iterating a couple times of actions

    wvning May 22, 2009 4:27 PM
      The JSF page shows one item at a time, user does something on the item, then clicks "Next" button to move to the next item. Behind the scene is the data user entered are saved into database and next item is retrieved from database and presented to user. The loop continues until no more item found in the database. All these occurs on the same JSF page. All kinds of conversation scopes are tried but didn't help. Any help and/or advice is highly appreciated.

      Here is the JSF page:
      |<h:form id="itv">
              <!-- Question -->
              <a4j:outputPanel id="topicPanel">

        • 1. Re: Target unreachable after iterating a couple times of actions
          jkronegg
          jkronegg Aug 17, 2009 5:41 PM (in response to wvning)

          I got the same issue (NPE at org.jboss.seam.core.Manager on line 568) on Seam 2.1.2. My code was:


          <h:commandButton value="Save" action="#{foyerHome.persistOrUpdateEmails}" ><s:conversationPropagation type="nested" /></h:commandButton>



          Below is the Manager's code snippet:


                   case NEST:
            if ( isLongRunningOrNestedConversation() ) 
            {
                beginNestedConversation();
            }
            else 
            {
                beginConversation();
            }
            
            if (propagation.getPageflow() != null)
            {
               Pageflow.instance().begin( propagation.getPageflow() ); // <- line 568
            }
            break;



          It appears that Pageflow.instance() is null. The PageFlow class is a Seam component with the following @Install annotation:


          @Install(dependencies="org.jboss.seam.bpm.jbpm", precedence=BUILT_IN, classDependencies="javax.faces.context.FacesContext")



          According to Seam documentation, the component is not installed if one of the dependency is not available. This is the case as the log file displays:


          17:36:27,469 TRACE [Component] Seam component not found: org.jboss.seam.pageflow.pageflow



          I don't know why the propagation.getPageflow() was not null, but IMHO Seam should check if the PageFlow.instance() is null before calling its begin() method.


          Note: I have currently no solution for that issue.

            A possible reason maybe in JBSEAM-4284
