Documentation about MyFacesGenericPortlet
Hi
is there any documentation available about the structure of MyFaces,
especially about MyFacesGenericPortlet. I'm looking for an overview
how the JSF lifecycle is mapped to the portlet lifecycle, sequence
diagrams and so on. I couldn't find this information on the web. Can
anybody provide references to literature or other sources. I haven't
understood all the details while looking at the source code.
Regards,
Kevin

Mostly correct. On the initial request though (which will always be a
renderRequest, all phases run in the RenderRequest phase.

>From what I've seen of the source code this is the mapping:
Portlet Action Phase
Restore view
Apply request values; process events
Process validations; process events
Update model values; process events
Invoke application; process events
Portlet Render Phase
Restore view (conditional depending on whether or not an action was performed)
Render response
It gets the initial view id from portlet.xml. Also, it (used to?)
transfer the facescontext between portlet action and render using the
portletsession and also keep the facescontext around between requests
in the session (1.1.1). I overrode this behavior to only keep the
view id in session between requests and released the facescontext post
render. IMHO not releasing the facescontext after Portlet Render is a
potential problem.
