Renderer gets confused when sending mail fails

alxs.alxs.gmx.de Nov 22, 2008 9:33 AM

Hi,

I'm using seam 2.1.0.SP1. In my current project I'm facing a problem I've never seen before when sending mail with seam.

When sending of mail throws an exception (i.e. mail server not found) the renderer or some other component seems to get completely confused. I don't get forwarded to the view I want to be forwarded. Instead I only get an empty page (empty means only the template is rendered) and the context part of all <s:link> changes to project. So /myseamapp/foo/bar gets /project/foo/bar.

I'm using standard code to render my mail:

try {
  renderer.render("/WEB-INF/mail/invitation.xhtml");
  log.info("E-Mail sent");
 } catch (Exception e) {
   facesMessages.add("Email sending failed: " + e.getMessage());
 }

I've just started to dig into this problem so I've no isolated example yet.

Regards,
Alex

In my case, there is no problem with redirection, but with facesmessages. They do not get rendered !

I had the same problem too.
I had spent so much on it, but I didn't solve it yet.
Hope someone can give us a hand.

Same problem here! Facesmessages do not get rendered, also not if email sent successfully! Anybody who solved this?

I have to add that after exception when Renderer.render() i18n does not work - the page contains message keys instead of resolved messages.
FacesMessages does not work as well.

I face the same issue as well. It changes the web context from my app name to project.

Also has anyone added the <s:link> inside a mail template. In that case as well, it adds the project as the web context and also does not bring in the rest of the url. (i.e. the http://www.company.com part)

I had to use the <h:outputLink> tag and pass the complete url from by bean.

I have the same issue. No faces message is displayed. The s:link url is changed not only in mail template but also in page from which I call the sendMail action. It seams that its related to the MockHttpServletRequest.getContextPath that returns the hard-coded value '/project'.
Did someone find a fix for this?
