a4j:commandButton makes a full page reload RichFaces 3.3.3 CR1

cesaracorreia Mar 2, 2010 4:42 PM

I have migrated one application from jsf1.2 to jsf2 and RichFaces 3.3.3 CR1. After some adjustments to the application became stable but my a4j:commandButtons doing a full page reload rather than rebuild only the piece of the tree indicated. Below i show my page:

Note: controller class has no JSF code. It simply includes some objects in a list. It is the code below.

###################
public String newItem(){
        log.debug("Entering in newItem event");
        LogicBean logic = getLogicBean();
        StandardApplicationController controller = (StandardApplicationController)getBean(logic.getControllerBeanName());
        IApplicationContext context = getApplicationContext();
        ControllerBean controllerBean = this.mountControllerBean(getFacesContext(), logic);

        FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        Map<String, String> map = facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();
        String detailPropertyName = map.get("detailPropertyName");
        if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(detailPropertyName)){
            controllerBean.setDetailPropertyName(detailPropertyName);
        }
        try {
            controllerBean = controller.newItem(context, controllerBean);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            addMessageError(e);
        }

        setBean(logic.getDtoBeanName(), controllerBean.getDto());
        setBean("arangiButtonBarController", controllerBean.getButtonBarController());

        processMessages(controllerBean);
        return controllerBean.getForward();
    }

protected void setBean(String name, Object value) {

        setValue("#{" + name + "}", value);

    }

protected void setValue(String expr, Object value) {

        ValueBinding vb = getFacesContext().getApplication().createValueBinding(expr);
        vb.setValue(getFacesContext(), value);

    }

protected void processMessages(ControllerBean controllerBean){

        List messages = controllerBean.getMessages();

        for (int i = 0; i < messages.size(); i++){
            Message message = (Message)messages.get(i);
            Severity severity = null;
            switch(message.getType()){
                case Message.TYPE_INFO:
                    severity = FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO;
                    break;
                case Message.TYPE_ERROR:
                    severity = FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR;
                    break;
                case Message.TYPE_WARN:
                    severity = FacesMessage.SEVERITY_WARN;
                    break;
                case Message.TYPE_FATAL:
                    severity = FacesMessage.SEVERITY_FATAL;

            }
            addMessage(message.getKey(), message.getArgs(), severity, message.getBundle(), message.getIdField());
        }
}

protected void addMessage(String key, String[] args, Severity severity, String bundle, String id) {
        FacesContext facesContext = this.getFacesContext();
        Locale locale = facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequestLocale();

        String message = MessageFactory.getLocalizedMessage(bundle, key, args, locale);
        FacesMessage facesMessage = new FacesMessage(severity, message, "");
        facesContext.addMessage(id, facesMessage);

return controllerBean.getForward(); - chage to return null; as you not need to navigate.
