Seam Mail send exception from portlet

Seam Mail send exception from portlet

We got java.lang.IllegalStateException wnen trying to send seam email from a portlet. The same code from seam html page works well.

renderer.render( email_xhtml_file );

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not call encodeNamespace() during a portlet ActionRequest

We are using jboss 4.0.5 and seam 1.2.1GA, liferay 4.x
At the moment we cannot upgrade into newer seam, so:

Q1: Is there some some bugfixs allready or workarounds to do?

Here is an exception what we got when trying to send seam email:

3:48:36,907 ERROR [SendEmail] Error sending mail

2. Re: Seam Mail send exception from portlet

jjarkko Sep 30, 2007 4:49 PM (in response to tkassila2)

We got past this one by making a modification in org.apache.myfaces.context.portlet.PortletExternalContextImpl

 public String encodeNamespace(String name) {

 // changed by jli @ 29.9.2007 to allow seam email
 // generation in portal environment
 if (_isActionRequest) { // encodeNamespace only allowed for
 // RenderRequest
 return name;
 // String msg = "Can not call encodeNamespace() during a portlet
 // ActionRequest";
 // throw new IllegalStateException(msg);
 }

 // we render out the name and then the namespace as
 // e.g. for JSF-ids, it is important to keep the _id prefix
 // to know that id creation has happened automatically
 return name + ((RenderResponse) _portletResponse).getNamespace();
 }

We also discovered that you can't use facelet tags (ui: etc) when sending seam email from inside portlet.. So below doesn't work and we had to implement looping outside the template. The bad thing is that also the h: tags don't work..

<ui:repeat value="#{people}" var="p">
 <m:message>
 <m:from name="#{person.firstname} #{person.lastname}">#{person.address}</m:from>
 <m:to name="#{p.firstname}">#{p.address}</m:to>
 ...
 </m:message>
</ui:repeat>
