h:commandbutton (general forwarding), IE8 and JBoss 7.1 no html-tag and DOCTYPE rendered

atarifreak73 Jul 31, 2012 3:30 AM

Good afternoon!

I habe a problem with this combination.

When I call a forwarding with h:commandbutton under IE8 and JBoss 7.1, I get a bad rendered site without doctype and html-tag:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<head>
...

The result is a incorrect layout.

When I call the same under JBoss 6.1, my site is rendered correct:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
 <head>
...

When I call the same under JBoss 7.1 directly (without use h:commandbutton) or with option "faces-redirect=true", I get also a correct rendered HTML-Site.

I have this problem only with IE8 (I cant test other IE-versions). The context-param "com.sun.faces.preferXHTML" have no effect.

In FF and Chrome it works perfectly with any JBoss.

The original code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
        PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
      xml:lang="en" lang="en"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
      xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
      xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
      xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">
<h:head>
...

I´m stumped. Can someone help me please??

I have substantiate the problem. When the h:commandButton is included, then I have this effect:

test.xhtml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
        PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xml:lang="en" lang="en"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
      xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
    <ui:include src="test_incl.xhtml" />
</h:body>
</html>

test_incl.xhtml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
        PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xml:lang="en" lang="en"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:body>
    <h:form>
         <h:commandButton value="test2" action="test2" />
    </h:form>
</h:body>
</html>

A click on the commandbutton produce the wrong parsed document in IE8 and JBoss 7. Removing the body-tag have no effect for the problem.

test2.xhtml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
        PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
      xml:lang="en" lang="en"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
    <h:form>
        <h:commandButton value="test" action="test" />
    </h:form>
</h:body>
</html>

test.xhtml and test_incl.xhtml in a single document have not the problem and produce a correct HTML-header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
        PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xml:lang="en" lang="en"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
    <h:form>
         <h:commandButton value="test2" action="test2" />
    </h:form>
</h:body>
</html>

I think, I have a simple error in my code, but where??

Have nobody a idea? What it´s in your opinion? A bug in my sourcecode, in IE8 or in JBoss 7.1?

a bug in my sourcecode: It could always be. Please tell me, if you find them.
a bug in IE8: The error exist only in use of IE8. It´s possible.
a bug in JBoss 7.1: The error exist only by using JBoss 7.1. With JBoss 6.1 (and IE8) it´s fine: Also possible.

How about, the JBoss 7.1 needs by forwarding in JSF special informations about the browsertype, and the IE8 don´t send it? The result is a unrendered HTML-Header?

I have detected the similar problem in use of firefox 3.6, but there rendered indeed the browser correct xhtml with header (no problems with forwarding), but die layout is a mess.
For example produce a click on a second Richfaces-Tab (Richfaces 4.2.2) the content under the content of the first site. The content of the first site don't hide.

But this is only a effect in use of JBoss 7.1.1. The same in JBoss 6.1 - no problems.

It´s possible, only modern browsers can work accurate with JBoss 7.1.1 in the standardconfig?

I have identified the problem: The version of JSF in JBoss 7.1.1 (JSF 2.0.1) is bugy, after some forwardings JSF no render the DOCTYPE. The solution for this problem I have found in this thread: https://community.jboss.org/message/756572#756572
The missing DOCTYPE are inconsiderable for the most browsers, but not for IE8. The result is a bad layout only in IE.
