Newbie problem with actions and actionListeners
Hi,
I did try the FAQ and a google search, but didn't find anything
immediately obvious. I had written one small example using the RI version
of JSF, which works correctly. Now I'm running the latest MyFaces, 1.1.1,
with JBoss 4.0.2. The output of the JSP works fine, but no navigation
works. This includes the firing of actions and actionListeners and also
page navigation in general. I'm guessing that the lack of navigation
behavior is the root of my problem since my managed bean is clearly found.
While I wouldn't mind having someone answer this, I'm quite content with
just having a notion of how to go about debugging the problem. It's
entirely clear to me that this has to be my error as myfaces wouldn't be
useful if this didn't work.
Regards,
Doug
-------------------------------------------------
Details:
I tried diagnosing by setting some log4j properties in the log4j.xml file:
<category name="org.apache.myfaces.el.VariableResolverImpl">
<priority value="ALL"/>
</category>
<category
name="org.apache.myfaces.application.NavigationHandlerImpl">
<priority value="ALL"/>
</category>
<category name="javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet">
<priority value="ALL"/>
</category>
<category name="org.apache.myfaces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl">
<priority value="ALL"/>
</category>
I was hoping one of these would spit out something useful. Nothing extra
came out. The actions defined in the managed bean are public and defined
correctly. Here's an example for newlist:
/**
* Action that is fired if a new list should be created
* @return the name of the outcome
*/
public String newlist()
{
IPSPublisherService pub =
PSPublisherServiceLocator.getPublisherService();
m_current = pub.createContentList("newlist");
return "edit";
}
Here's the faces-config file. Note that I tried navigating from
listcontentlists and editcontentlist both, and neither worked. I'm
assuming I need the entire context path of the jsp in the from and to view
ids.

Your are correct - I'm getting a conversion error. I guess that qualifies
as something to work on. Thanks very much.

Re: Newbie problem with actions and actionListeners
You should still stick a message tag on and check the values. Conversion
might be failing even if there's no validating going on.

Are your action methods being invoked (ie do logging statements in them
generate output)? If not, one cause can be validation failure; I was
stuck on that for a while where a page would always just "refresh".
Adding an <h:messages> tag to the page revealed the problem. I can't see
any validation configured for your jsp page though.

Simon
