ajaxSubmit does not result in correct viewId

[jgilbert]

Most of the time an ajaxSubmit is not intended to change the view id, but there are times when it should. particularly when using richfaces, you have to use a4j:htmlCommandLink because h:commandLink does not work.

here is an example that fails.

ajaxClient.ajaxSubmit("0:editLink");
assertEquals("/edit.xhtml", server.getCurrentViewID());

does this look like a bug?

i changed to this and it works:

client.clickCommandLink("0:editLink");

so it appears you don't always have to use an ajaxSubmit on an ajax component.

Can you provide the xhtml or jsp snippet for this? I'd like to clarify this on a wiki or fix it if there is a bug.

Thanks,

BTW, it's probably related to this:

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JSFUNIT-43

[jgilbert]

Here is the xhtml snippet you asked for.

<a4j:htmlCommandLink id="editLink" action="#{editor.editEntity}">
 <f:param name="id" value="#{row.id}"/>
 <s:conversationPropagation type="begin"/>
</a4j:htmlCommandLink>

Regarding JSFUNIT-43, which part of the AjaxAttributes page is relevant?
