Received 'error@malformedXML' event from <input

sunfire Sep 26, 2012 4:42 PM

I am currently porting a Seam 2.2 application to Seam 2.3 and during this process I also would like to upgrade Richfaces from 3.3.3 to 4.2.2. Now I have an issue that AJAX validation is not working anymore. At least the returned XML seems to be broken.

edit.xhtml decorator snippet

<ui:composition  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
                 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:s="http://jboss.org/schema/seam/taglib">

    <div class="entry">
        <s:label id="inputLabel" styleClass="label #{invalid?'errors':''}">
            <ui:insert name="label"/>
            <s:span id="RequiredStyle" styleClass="required" rendered="#{required}">*</s:span>
        </s:label>
        <span class="input #{invalid?'errors':''}">
            <s:validateAll id="ValidateAll">
                <ui:insert/>
            </s:validateAll>
        </span>
        <s:message id="message" styleClass="error errors" globalOnly="true"/>
    </div>

</ui:composition>

jsf snippet

         <s:decorate id="web8Decoration" template="edit.xhtml" rendered="#{webcollabCustomerHome.managed}">
             <ui:define name="label">Web 8</ui:define>
             <h:inputText id="web8" 
                        size="2"
                   maxlength="3"
                       value="#{webcollabCustomerHome.instance.web8}"
                     required="true">
                  <a4j:ajax event="blur" render="web8Decoration" bypassUpdates="true" execute="@this"/>
              </h:inputText>
          </s:decorate>

Now when I update the value of the input field I get this in the AJAX log:

debug[22:39:22.400]: New request added to queue. Queue requestGroupingId changed to ticket:web8Decoration:web8
debug[22:39:22.401]: Queue will wait 0ms before submit

Any idea what would be causing this? It worked quite well in 3.3.3.

Thanks, Thorsten

Hello Thorsten,

    I supouse this answer is too late to be useful, but is today when I found the same problem...

    You are facing with this Seam 2.3.0.Final bug (that has been resolved in Seam 2.3.1.CR1). The problem is s:decorate's 'enclosed' attribute default value. It must be 'true' but, due to this bug, it is set to 'false' by default. You must set it to 'true' explicitly in your code:

<s:decorate enclose="true" id="web8Decoration" template="edit.xhtml" rendered="#{webcollabCustomerHome.managed}">
     <ui:define name="label">Web 8</ui:define>
     <h:inputText id="web8"
          size="2"
          maxlength="3"
          value="#{webcollabCustomerHome.instance.web8}"
          required="true">
          <a4j:ajax event="blur" render="web8Decoration" bypassUpdates="true" execute="@this"/>
     </h:inputText>
</s:decorate>

Best Regards.
FJR.
