I am not certain if this is a seam or richfaces problem, I will post to both forums.
Hello Forum,
This post might look a little funny- the editor will not allow me to uncheck the "...not markup" option.
I am using:
jboss_version 5.0.1.GA
seam_version 2.1.2.GA
richfaces_version 3.3.1.GA
I am trying to launch a new tab from a context menu.
I want new tab to start its own long running conversation
so I have set conversationPropagation value none.
The action endPointPm.init returns a different page
e.g., page2.xhtml from the current page1.xhtml
The following works, but does not open a new tab. I.e., the
target _blank is ignored. No conversation or other
errors, occur. The new pages is rendered in a new conversation
exactly as I expect.
`<rich:menuItem
style="display: {pe};"
value="PM"
ajaxSingle="true"
target="_blank"
action="#{endPointPm.init}">
<f:param name="conversationPropagation" value="none" />
<f:param name="id" value="{id}"/>
<f:param name="profile" value="{pmp}"/>
</rich:menuItem>
`
If I add
`submitMode="server" `
I get my new tab; unfortunately this is accompanied (in the log) with
an assortemnt of seam conversation errors, which indicate that the new
tab is trying to render the original page "page1.xhtml", not the outcome
of the action "page2.xhtml". These errors make sense: since I did not
propagate the conversation, the seam components used to render the
original page are not available in the new conversation.
The action always returns "page2.xhtml" (it is hard coded)
so it appears as if the target _blank and switchmode server
confuse the navigation...? It seems like a navigation error
to me;
Any ideas? I have spent way too much time on this already :(.
