Re: linkDummyForm not rendering on every page

[Michael Heinen <mh...@recommind.com>]

Hi,
 
I am facing the same problem with new version 1.1.3. The linkDumyForm is
not rendered on every page as in version 1.1.1.
 
My welcome page index.jsp forwards the request to a faces page:
<jsp:forward page="/faces/launch.jsp"/>
This page contains a commandLink outside a form (!) for a simple logout
action. The link was working well with MyFaces 1.1.1
 
Now the link is only working when I enter the URL /faces/launch.jsp
directly. It is not working when I call my welcome page which forwards
to /faces/launch.jsp.
Is this working correctly? 
Do I have to define a second form around the link now?
 
Michael

I posted about this yesterday under a different topic. As far as I
can see, in 1.1.3 the linkDummyForm javascript is now added by the
Tomahawk ExtensionsFilter for some strange reason.

It sounds as though you're using ExtensionsFilter, but it's not being
applied to your welcome page (is it only mapped to /faces/* ?). You
could either change the filter mapping, or substitute a browser
redirect for your server-side forward, i.e. instead of jsp:forward use

<% response.sendRedirect("/faces/launch.jsp"); %>

This would go back to the browser and tell it to send another request
for your faces JSP page, which would then be processed by the filter.
