Hey All, I have been trying to get this to work for the last two days, a little disconcerting. I am sure its something I have done wrong but im not sure what it is. When I use the s:decorate component to display an inline error message, upon displaying the inline error message correctly the forms value is suddenly cleared. Standard input components not wrapped inside a s:decorate do not exhibit this problem so I don't believe its related to page flow or scope, but im not certain what the issue is. The xhtml page is as follows: (NB: This isn't the desired form layout, this is an example to prove that s:decorate was the issue and that standard inputText / outputText in a panel worked fine) | <h:form id="registerAgentForm"> | | <rich:panel> | <f:facet name="header">Register Agent</f:facet> | | <h:panelGrid columns="2" rowClasses="prop" columnClasses="name,value"> | | <h:column> | <h:outputText value="Agent Reference:"/> | </h:column> | <h:column> | <h:inputText id="agentref" value="#{agent.agentReference}" required="true"/> | <s:decorate for="agentref" template="/WEB-INF/templates/layout/edit.xhtml"/> | </h:column> | | <h:column> | <h:outputText value="Name:"/> | </h:column> | <h:column> | <h:inputText id="agentname" value="#{agent.name}" required="true"/> | <s:decorate for="agentname" template="/WEB-INF/templates/layout/edit.xhtml"/> | </h:column> | | </h:panelGrid> | | <s:decorate id="nicDecoration" template="/WEB-INF/templates/fragment/edit.xhtml"> | <ui:define name="label">NIC:</ui:define> | <h:inputText id="nic" value="#{agent.nic}" required="true"/> | </s:decorate> | | <div style="clear:both"/> | </rich:panel> | | <h:commandButton type="submit" value="Register" action="#{manageAgentAction.register}"/> | | </h:form> | The contents of edit.xhtml (pretty standard implementation) are as follows: | <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" | xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" | xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" | xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" | xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"> | | <div class="prop"> | | <s:label styleClass="name #{invalid?'errors':''}"> | <ui:insert name="label"/> | <s:span styleClass="required" rendered="#{required}">*</s:span> | </s:label> | | <span class="value #{invalid?'errors':''}"> | <s:validateAll> | <ui:insert/> | </s:validateAll> | </span> | | <s:message styleClass="error errors"/> | | </div> | | </ui:composition> | Thanks in advance!
