    The *.page.xml navigation broken when h:commandButton placed in facelet

    twhitehead.twhiteheadjm.hotmail.com

      I started with code generated by seam-gen. I then started reading up on facelets (which I am new to) and realized that it would make sense to put the generated actionButtons div into a facelet referenced by custom tag.


      So I took this:



      <div class="actionButtons">
              <h:commandButton value="Save" action="#{valPilotHome.persist}" disabled="#{!valPilotHome.wired}" rendered="#{!valPilotHome.managed}" />
              <h:commandButton value="Save" action="#{valPilotHome.update}" rendered="#{valPilotHome.managed}" />
              <h:commandButton value="Delete" action="#{valPilotHome.remove}" immediate="true" rendered="#{valPilotHome.managed}" />
              <s:button value="Done" propagation="end" view="/ValPilotList.xhtml" rendered="#{valPilotHome.managed}" />
              <s:button value="Cancel" propagation="end" view="/ValPilotList.xhtml" rendered="#{!valPilotHome.managed}" />
      </div>



      and it becomes this:


      <val:actionButtons listPage="/ValPilotList.xhtml" backingBean="#{valPilotHome}" />



      with val:actionButtons being in a xhtml file containing:



      <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
      <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
              xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
              xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
              xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
              xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
              xmlns:ice="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component">
              <div class="actionButtons">
                      <h:commandButton value="Save" action="${backingBean.persist}" disabled="${!backingBean.wired}" rendered="${!backingBean.managed}" /> 
                      <h:commandButton value="Save" action="${backingBean.update}" rendered="${backingBean.managed}" /> 
                      <h:commandButton value="Delete" action="${backingBean.remove}" immediate="true"              rendered="${backingBean.managed}" /> 
                      <s:button value="Done"       propagation="end" view="${listPage}" rendered="${backingBean.managed}" />
                      <s:button value="Cancel" propagation="end" view="${listPage}" rendered="${!backingBean.managed}" />
              </div>
      </ui:composition>



      This has so many advantages including:
      making my pages much easier to read.
      making it easier to make changes if I decide I want to change the layout of the buttons etc.


      However, the problem is that my navigation rules in the ValPilotExit.page.xml file no longer work!



      <navigation from-action="#{valPilotHome.persist}">
                      <end-conversation />
                      <redirect view-id="/ValPilot.xhtml" />
              </navigation>
              <navigation from-action="#{valPilotHome.update}">
                      <end-conversation />
                      <redirect view-id="/ValPiloList.xhtml" />
              </navigation>
              <navigation from-action="#{valPilotHome.remove}">
                      <end-conversation />
                      <redirect view-id="/ValPilotList.xhtml" />
              </navigation>



      What am I not seeing?
