a4j:keepAlive does not work with a4j:mediaOutput - why?
Hi All,
I've got a problem with simple combination of a4j:keepAlive and a4j:mediaOutput tags.
My target is to make a simple page that allows user to upload JPG file and display it just after upload has finished.
The simplest way should be keep image content in bean and then use it to render a4j:mediaOutput.
However I cannot force my bean to be kept alive and as a temporary workaround I have to read content form disk when I render it.
If I remove a4j:mediaOutput from page everything works (a4j:keepAlive is applied to bean).
What am I doing wrong? Any help appreciated.
Best regards
Melmack.
My environment:
JSF - 1.2 (Mojarra)
RichFaces - 3.3.3
Facelets - 1.1.15
Apache Tomcat 6.0.18
JDK 1.6.0.20
