LifecycleBug?

[Ole Ersoy <ol...@yahoo.com>]

Hey Everybody,

I'm using myfaces 1.1.1.

I wrote a PhaseListener and it works fine the PhaseId
is set to RESTORE_VIEW, however any other PhaseId does
not work.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Thanks,
- Ole

Here's the code:
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

import javax.faces.application.Application;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseEvent;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseId;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseListener;

public class HTMLTableTreeViewerAjaxPhaseListener
implements PhaseListener {
	private static Logger theLogger =
		  Logger.getLogger(Mock.class.getName());
	

	public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
		
		return PhaseId.APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES;
	}

	public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent e) {
		theLogger.info("KICKING IN THE BEFORE PHASE!");

	}

	public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent e) {
		theLogger.info("KICKING IN THE AFTER PHASE!");
	}	
}

When a page is viewed for the first time, the RESTORE_VIEW phase
executes then processing immediately leaps to the RENDER phase, because
there is nothing for the other phases to do.

So APPLY_VALUES phase listeners will only be invoked when a page is
being "submitted", ie when some command link is clicked in the page, not
when the page is being displayed for the first time.

I suggest you change your getPhaseId to return PhaseId.ANY_PHASE and see
what callbacks you get. You should see restore+render for the first page
view, restore+apply+render for pages where validation fails, restore
+apply+render when an immediate command component is clicked, and the
full set of callbacks otherwise.
