[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (RF-11112) PartialViewContext#getRenderIds() implementation returns empty set
PartialViewContext#getRenderIds() implementation returns empty set
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: RF-11112
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11112
Project: RichFaces
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
Components: component-a4j-core
Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Final
Environment: Win7 x64, Eclipse Helios SR2, JBoss AS 6.0.0 Final, RF 4.0.0 Final.
Reporter: Bauke Scholtz
During invoke action phase we would like to retrieve a list of partial render IDs for some
specific preprocessing (resetting submitted values for the case they're embedded in
another form). Those IDs are normally available by {{PartialViewContext#getRenderIds()}}.
{code}
PartialViewContext partialViewContext =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPartialViewContext();
Collection<String> renderIds = partialViewContext.getRenderIds();
{code}
This works fine in combination with standard JSF components, such as
{{<h:commandLink><f:ajax render="foo"/></h:commandLink>}}
However, when a RichFaces/A4J command component is been used, such as
{{<a4j:commandLink render="foo" />}}, an empty collection is been returned
instead. Debugging learns that the {{ExtendedPartialViewContextImpl}} implementation
stores them in {{componentRenderIds}} instead of {{renderIds}} and never returns it on
{{getRenderIds()}} method. The {{ExtendedPartialViewContextImpl}} also doesn't seem to
use {{renderIds}} in a sensible manner anywhere else.
I believe that {{componentRenderIds}} really has to be {{renderIds}} instead.
As far now, we workarounded this by accessing the {{componentRenderIds}} field using
reflection.
{code}
Collection<String> renderIds = partialViewContext.getRenderIds();
if (renderIds.isEmpty() && partialViewContext instanceof
ExtendedPartialViewContextImpl) {
try {
Field componentRenderIds =
ExtendedPartialViewContextImpl.class.getDeclaredField("componentRenderIds");
componentRenderIds.setAccessible(true);
renderIds = (Collection<String>)
componentRenderIds.get(partialViewContext);
} catch (Exception e) {
// Handle.
}
}
{code}
However, this introduced a nasty dependency in our code.
