JspTilesViewHandlerImpl & dynamic component rendering

[Lorinda Swick <ls...@intalio.com>]

Hi,

 

Has anyone dynamically rendered JSF components while using myfaces'
JspTilesViewHandlerImpl view handler?

 

I have a WebGalileoFaces tabbed panel component.  Its listener attaches
sub-tabs to it dynamically.  The rendering works without using the view
handler above.  Yet, when I use the myfaces handler, I get an NPE.  My
listener impl is below.  

 

The view handler appears to cut off access to the actual UIViewRoot so the
form cannot be found.  I've tried a couple calls directly to the handler
using context.getApplication().getViewHandler() yet, none of the methods
gave me access to it (well, that I could figure out).

 

Ideas anyone?  

 

Thanks

Lorinda

 

 

    public void processTabSelected(TabSelectedEvent event)

            throws AbortProcessingException {

 

        context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

        // who sent the event?

 

        FacesTabbedPanel eventSource = (FacesTabbedPanel) event.getSource();

        UIComponent tabbedPanel = event.getComponent();

        

        String tabName = tabbedPanel.getId();

        String formId = tabbedPanel.getParent().getId();

        

        LOG.info("Tab selected:   " + tabName);

        LOG.info("Parent form:   " + formId);

        UIForm form = (UIForm) context.getViewRoot().findComponent(formId);


-->  NPE  UIPanel panel =  (UIPanel) form.findComponent("childTabsGrid");

        

        if (panel == null) {

            LOG.error("PanelGrid   'childTabsGrid'   could not be found.
");

        } else {

            // clear the childTabsGrid to prevent stacking child tabs
<-- ATTACHES sub-tabs here

            panel.getChildren().clear();

          ListSelectionModel selectionModel =
eventSource.getListSelectionModel();

           UIComponent newTabbedPanel =
createSubTabbedPanel(selectionModel); 

           panel.getChildren().add(newTabbedPanel);

        }
