Action method of source page being executed after destination action -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-343 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-343 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: JSF Affects Versions: 1.0.1 Environment: Windows XP, jboss installation per Seam setup instructions Reporter: Todd Main I keep having trouble where the "from" page action seems be getting executed when using the <s:link> tag. Here's one example: Page "QuickClicks.xhtml" has a pages.xml entry with an action defined, so that the action gets called whenever I view "QuickClicks.xhtml". <page view-id="/QuickClicks.xhtml" action="#{quickClicks.load}"/> There's an <s:link> on QuickClicks.xhtml that goes to a different session bean and displays a different xhtml page. <s:link target="reportResultsFrame" view-id="/Documents.xhtml" action="#{findDocuments.search}"> <f:param name="dayRange" value="7" /> <f:param name="documentCategory" value="po" /> #{quickClicksData.ordersFromLastSeven} </s:link> When I click the link, the quickClicks.load() method is being invoked AFTER findDocuments.search(). It should not be invoked at all, since I'm coming FROM that page, not TO it. Note: there is a posting in the Forum (see forum reference) that indicates a possible code fix for AbstractSeamPhaseListener. Here is what was posted: This seems to be happening in AbstractPhaseListener and looks like a bug. The code in question is Code: public boolean callPageActions(PhaseEvent event) { Lifecycle.setPhaseId( PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION ); boolean actionsWereCalled = false; try { actionsWereCalled = Pages.callAction( event.getFacesContext() ) || actionsWereCalled; actionsWereCalled = Pages.instance().callAction() || actionsWereCalled; return actionsWereCalled; The first "Pages.callAction(event.getFacesContext()) || actionsWereCalled " runs the intended action i.e. the action in the second page. Note that at this point, the view-id is still the first page as the lifecycle has not come into the "render" phase -- still in the "Execute" phase. Now that the method returned true, we are again invoking the Pages.instance().callAction() which calls the first view since the view-id is the first page. Thats the reason for the out of order of messages. If the code were Code: actionsWereCalled = Pages.callAction( event.getFacesContext() ) || actionsWereCalled; actionsWereCalled = actionsWereCalled || Pages.instance().callAction(); return actionsWereCalled; that should fix this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
