Hi Chane.
Try adding @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) to the class.
That should do the trick.
If not let me know and I'll try your code myself.

chane,
I'm glad you got it sorted out.
However, you might want to consider not using bindings at all. To me they are actually the most useless feature of JSF...
I actually didn't quite figure out why you are using the bindings at all?!

Mainly I use the following class for consistent dialog handling for trinidad:

package de.livemediagroup.dialog;

import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Map;

import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.context.RequestContext;
import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.ReturnEvent;

public final class Dialog {

 public static final String CONFIRM = "confirm";

 public static final String CANCEL = "cancel";

 public static Map createReturnParameterMap() {
 return new Hashtable();
 }

 @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
 public static void cancelDialog() {
 RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(CANCEL, createReturnParameterMap());
 }

 @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
 public static void confirmDialog(Map returnParameters) {
 RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(CONFIRM, returnParameters);
 }

 public static boolean isConfirmed(ReturnEvent event) {
 Object returnValue = event.getReturnValue();
 return ((returnValue != null) && (returnValue.equals(CONFIRM)));
 }

 public static boolean isCanceled(ReturnEvent event) {
 Object returnValue = event.getReturnValue();
 return ((returnValue == null) || (returnValue.equals(CANCEL)));
 }

}

 public void saveUser() {
 Map returnParameters = Dialog.createReturnParameterMap();
 returnParameters.put("user", currentUserInformation);
 Dialog.confirmDialog(returnParameters);
 }

 public void processReturn(ReturnEvent event)
 throws AbortProcessingException {
 if (!Dialog.isCanceled(event)) {
 for (Object object : event.getReturnParameters().values()) {
 PersistableObject pObject = (PersistableObject) object;
 saveObject(pObject);
 getEntityManager().flush();
 }
 refresh();
 getNotifier().notifyDialogEnd();
 }
 clearHandledEntity();
 }

<tr:commandLink id="editModeCommand" useWindow="true"
 returnListener="#{model.processReturn}" action="#{model.customize}">
 <f:param name="conversationPropagation" value="join"/>
 <h:graphicImage value="/images/gnome-settings.gif" />
 </tr:commandLink>

Chris, I am also having problems getting dialogs to work with Seam, could you post a working example since you seem to have gotten it working? It would really help to see all the pieces together in one place.

Thanks

Thanks Chris, I have it most of the way working except for a couple of issues.

1. When i use a commandLink to open the dialog, I can't get PPR to refresh the inputText on the orginal page. I keep getting this message

ERROR [STDERR] May 1, 2007 9:11:57 AM org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.renderkit.core.ppr.PPRResponseWriter$PPRTag finish
WARNING: No PPR-capable id found for elements of CoreInputText[UIXEditableFacesBeanImpl, id=customer_input]. This component has not written-out an id attribute.

<tr:inputText id="customer_input"

 partialTriggers="dialog_id"/>
<s:conversationPropagation>
 <tr:commandLink id="dialog_id"
 text="find Customer"
 action="dialog:chooseCustomer"
 useWindow="true" windowHeight="400"
 windowWidth="400" partialSubmit="true"/>
</s:conversationPropagation>

<tr:inputListOfValues returnListener="#{requestEntry.processReturn}"
 id="customer_input"
 label="Enter New Customer:"
 value="#{requestEntry.customer.userName}"
 action="dialog:chooseCustomer"/>

Thanks Chris, I have a return listener already which is functioning correctly, just not the PPR to refresh the page

public void processReturn(ReturnEvent event) {
 if (event.getReturnValue() != null) {
 //setUserName(((User)(event.getReturnValue())).getUserName());
 customer = ((User)(event.getReturnValue()));
 System.out.println("*******Return Event");
 System.out.println("User Name: " + customer.getUserName());
 }
 }

Hi. Have you ever tried placing your to-be-updated tags into a panelGroupLayout or panelLabelAndMessage?

I use inputListOfValues for either inputting or selecting a postal code from a list of values and upon selection i update the calling page's fields with city and country info. It all works perfectly fine:

<tr:inputListOfValues id="postalcode" action="dialog:citieslov" valueChangeListener="#{valueChangeHandler.processPostalCodeChange}"
 label="#{messages.postalcode}:" autoSubmit="true" showRequired="true" partialTriggers="postalcode" value="#{currentCompany.city.postalcode}"
 returnListener="#{valueChangeHandler.processReturnCityToCompanyLov}">
 <f:param name="conversationPropagation" value="join" />
 </tr:inputListOfValues>

 <tr:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{messages.city}:">
 <tr:outputText partialTriggers="postalcode" id="city"
 value="#{currentCompany.city.name}" />
 </tr:panelLabelAndMessage>

I will try your suggestion dajevtic, thanks

A couple of questions,

1. Are you still using the code you provided earlier in the thread (Phase Listener and Action Listener)? I know those comments are a number of months old and didn't if anything on either Seam or Trinidad was "fixed" to make them unecessary.

2. Which view handler are you using in web.xml?
- com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler?
- org.jboss.seam.ui.facelet.SeamFaceletViewHandler?

Does it make a difference when it comes to Trinidad Dialogs (or anything else Trinidad related such as PPR)?

Thanks

Hi, yes I still use the phase- and action listeners, but to be honest, I haven't tested in months, whether it works without them.

I've beem using the SeamFaceletViewHandler since I switched to Facelets some weeks ago.

If my solution doesn't work, then let me know. I'll provide more info.
