question for filedownload jsp with commandLink and commandButton
Hi experts,
I have multiple download links [commandLink] /buttons[commandButton] on
the same page. I realized that a user needs to click twice to see an
open directory window from the second attempt, I do not understand why
this is happening.
The download page was implemented with jsp page.
commandLink/commandbutton are simply taking a user to this download
page by clicking a link or a button.
At the first click, a use always go to this page and the browser asks a
user if one wants to save a directory or open on the browser. Then a
user can decide to cancel or save or open.
At the second attempts, the problem is that a user clicks link/button
subsequently right after the first attempt, the action does not take a
user to the jsp page, and it only reloads page with a round trip.
Then a user needs to click a link/ a button second time, then it works.
Could someone advise me why this is happening and is there anyway to
stop this ?
I implemented a commandbutton + actionListener [in backing bean]
solution for file download, but the result was the same. From the
second attempt, a user always needs to click twice [double click] button.
I saw the one post on google is that adding _blank on form tag helps,
but it actually did not help at all.
Any idea ?

Thanks James
I will investigate this approach further.

RE: question for filedownload jsp with commandLink and commandButton
Posted by James Richards <ja...@northps.com>.
I use AspectJ to build a trace of MyFaces behavior and interaction with the application backing beans. Starting with the lifecycle, I progressively add elements to the trace to drill down into the runtime behavior. It's a tedious debugging approach but is much faster than, for example, running the web application inside the Eclipse debugger. Attached is an example of the kind of trace I use, based on the tracing examples that AspectJ ships with. Tracing this way lets me capture detailed information about which calls are leading to problems. For example, when facestrace indicates that my app is failing at the update model phase, I look at the LifecycleImpl source for that phase and add in the classes which are used by the Lifecycle. Eventually you can find the problem if you drill down far enough...
Of course if anyone has a better debugging strategy, I'm open to suggestions.
Hope that helps,
James

I installed ftrace, but I do not see any errors from output, it only

Could you explain to me what you are achieved using AspectJ a little

What are aspected myfaces classes and where I can find those. how can I

I installed ftrace, but I do not see any errors from output, it only

Could you explain to me what you are achieved using AspectJ a little

Thanks James.

RE: question for filedownload jsp with commandLink and commandButton

The example I gave was very specific to the application I was working on. Have you tried plugging in the FacesTrace from http://facestrace.sourceforge.net/ onto the view in question? Someone from the list pointed me to it and it helps to follow what's happening. If you plug it into the page that's failing, you may see that it's failing in a particular phase, say applying model updates, and that will target your search.
MyFaces has proven fairly complex to debug so I've actually been compiling a trace into MyFaces using AspectJ. I copy the aspected MyFaces classes into my WEB-INF/classes directory. This lets me, for example, follow exactly what LifecycleImpl is doing.
AspectJ is from eclipse.org/aspectj
Hope that helps,
James

Hi, James
Thanks for the info, but I do not see any code fragment for
renderResponse inside my code. I am using myface 1.1.1, is this a
generic issue on myfaces 1.1.1 ?
Thanks,

RE: question for filedownload jsp with commandLink and commandButton
Posted by James Richards <ja...@northps.com>.
I ran into something along these lines recently. In my case, there was a managed bean with a
public void changeSpecifiedRole(ValueChangeEvent event)
method being called by MyFaces after the first button press which was erroneously [for that version of MyFaces] invoking "renderResponse()".
Perhaps you have a similar listener which explictly calls renderResponse?
Hope that helps,
James

Subject: question for filedownload jsp with commandLink and commandButton
Hi experts,
I have multiple download links [commandLink] /buttons[commandButton] on
the same page. I realized that a user needs to click twice to see an
open directory window from the second attempt, I do not understand why
this is happening.
The download page was implemented with jsp page.
commandLink/commandbutton are simply taking a user to this download
page by clicking a link or a button.
At the first click, a use always go to this page and the browser asks a
user if one wants to save a directory or open on the browser. Then a
user can decide to cancel or save or open.
At the second attempts, the problem is that a user clicks link/button
subsequently right after the first attempt, the action does not take a
user to the jsp page, and it only reloads page with a round trip.
Then a user needs to click a link/ a button second time, then it works.
Could someone advise me why this is happening and is there anyway to
stop this ?
I implemented a commandbutton + actionListener [in backing bean]
solution for file download, but the result was the same. From the
second attempt, a user always needs to click twice [double click] button.
I saw the one post on google is that adding _blank on form tag helps,
but it actually did not help at all.
Any idea ?
