    Can't get Seam application to work as a Portlet

    javajedi Jul 24, 2006 8:31 PM

      Sorry for the duplicate posting. The topic somehow got truncated in my last post.

      JBoss Portal 2.4.0-CR2
      Seam 1.0.0
      JBoss 4.0.4

      I've got a Seam app that works fine on its own. When I deploy it as a portlet, the initial page of the portlet displays fine, but when I submit a form from that first page, the Seam action doesn't get invoked. The page is just redisplayed.

      I've changed FaceletViewHandler and SeamExtendedManagedPersistencePhaseListener to FaceletPortletViewHandler and SeamExtendedManagedPersistencePortletPhaseListener in faces-config.xml.

      I've added very simple jboss-portlet.xml, portlet-instances.xml, portlet.xml, and myapp-object.xml files.

      I've commented StartupServletContextListener out of my web.xml.

      These are the only changes that I've made to the app from when it was working fine as a standalone Seam application.

      Here is the debug output from Seam when the app is running as a portlet, and not working:

      Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? Is there some extra missing piece of glue between Seam and Portal that I need?

            Solved my problem. The problem was that inputFileUpload relies on a servlet filter, which doesn't work in a portlet. I found a patch for myfaces here:
            http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-434
            and it's working with the patch applied.
