Detecting which phase being processed in backing bean

[Lisa <ap...@purpleblade.net>]

Is there a way to detect which phase is currently being executed inside the
backing bean.  Having trouble with things and would simply like to see the
status of things at the beginning and end of each of the six JSF phases.


thanks

Not directly AFAIK.

It's easy enough to write a simple PhaseListener that logs a message at 
each phase, and optionally stores the current phase in a static variable 
somewhere.

The facestrace.sourceforge.net project might also be useful to you.

You can use phase listenes with callbacks as Simon mentioned
but for easier phase handling I can really recommend
the shale view controller.
It trims the number of callbacks down to four which also have
a clearer naming, and also, they are defined callbacks which for sure
are called every time.
Phases can occur or can be suppressed, for many cases where you usually
want to apply phase listeners the shale view controller is a
better pattern.
