GZIP Compression Fails with Richfaces-3.3.3.CR1 release ------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-8562 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-8562 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: browser compatibility, performance Affects Versions: 3.3.3.CR1 Environment: Seam 2.2.0, JSF 1.2, Tomcat 6.0, IE8/Mozilla 3.6.2/Chrome 4.1.249, EHCache 1.5.0 Reporter: Gaurav Saini Assignee: Andrey Markhel Priority: Critical Fix For: 3.3.3.Final Attachments: screenshot-1.jpg, screenshot-2.jpg, screenshot-3.jpg In my application i have implemented EHCache GZip compression. It is working perfectly with richfaces-ui-3.3.2.SR1 release. But once i moved to latest 3.3.3 CR1 release, it stopped working for all AJAX requests fired from my application screens. The ajax requests reached properly in my action/action listener methods but while on completion of ajax request, only the components which are specified in re-render attribute are rendered on the browser. The above issue occurs on Mozilla and Goggle Chrome only. Under Mozilla, the JS of component being re-rendered is printed, on Google chrome only that component is displayed, all other fields, headers, footers and menu items of my page are not displayed. I have used gzipfilter as follows: <filter> <filter-name>gzipFilter</filter-name> <filter-class>net.sf.ehcache.constructs.web.filter.GzipFilter</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>gzipFilter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> For reference, refer below code. Here in this case I have Calendar control. On date selection an ajax request is fired to compute a date 15 days earlier from the selected date. The computed date is then displayed in another Calendar control field (Expiry Reminder Date). <rich:calendar id="expirationDate" cellWidth="24px" datePattern="#{messages['label.date.PATTERN']}" cellHeight="22px" style="width:200px" value="#{certificateDetailsDTO.expirationDate}" required="true" label="#{messages['label.certificatedetails.EXPIRATION_DATE']}" > <a:support actionListener="#{certificateBackingBeanImpl.populateExpiryReminderDate}" event="onchanged" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="expiryReminderDate" > <f:attribute name="expRemCmp" value="mainForm:expiryReminderDateDecId:expiryReminderDate"> </f:attribute> </a:support> But as i said earlier, under chrome only the expiryReminderDate calendar control is dispalyed and under Mozilla the plain JS for that control is rendered. For the time being i have reverted to 3.3.2 SR1, but i need to migrate to 3.3.3CR1 because of the fixes provided in that release related to ExtendedDataTable.
