a4j, render ignores instructions in *.page.xml

[pomcompot.pomme_compote-seamframework.yahoo.fr]

Hi,

I’m always on the same sort of question (http://seamframework.org/Community/A4jactionparamPageParametersAndNavigationRules and http://seamframework.org/Community/A4jactionparamAndNavigationRules).

Using extensively a4j:commandButton, a4j:outputPanel and the render navigation rule in .page.xml (wizard like behavior), I am wondering how a4j is compliant with all the stuff in .page.xml. Indeed, it seems that most instruction in this file are completely ignored: login-required="true", <begin-conversation join="true" flush-mode="MANUAL"/>, <action execute="…"/> and <param name="from" /> does nothing at all.

My question is simple: does the AJAX rendering of an inner page thanks to a4j:outputPanel and the render instruction in .page.xml is compliant with all the previously mentioned instructions? And, if yes, what is the correct way to make them trigger?

Thanks in advance.

Please, can somebody just answer my question… This has great impacts on my dev and I really need to get some advice on the subject.

A little 'up' to my post because I really need an answer.

So are you trying to make an ajax wizard that purely stays on one page?

It might help some more if you provide some example code to demonstrate what you are trying to accomplish.

Sorry. Away (sick) for one week. This two previous posts try to describe more precisely what I’m trying to achieve :

• a4j:actionparam and navigation rules


• a4j:actionparam, page parameters and navigation rules

But, this post is from a wider point of view. Are the instruction in page.xml processed when using AJAX a4j mechanism (like in a wizard indeed)?
