EPVC: ViewState must be written even for transient (stateless) views -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-13093 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-13093 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component-tables Affects Versions: 4.3.2 Environment: GlassFish 3.1.2.2 with Mojarra 2.1.23 Reporter: Salvo Isaja Assignee: Lukáš Fryč Labels: jsf22 Fix For: 5.0.0.Alpha3 Original Estimate: 1 hour Remaining Estimate: 1 hour Original summary: *extendedDataTable column resizing and reordering not working on transient (stateless) views* When turning on transient (stateless) views in recent Mojarra versions (as per JSF 2.2 specification, to my best understanding), using request scoped backing beans, javax.faces.ViewState becomes the constant "stateless". Column resizing and reordering in extendedDataTable causes an Ajax request to the server, but in this case an invalid response is sent, containing only: {code:xml} <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <partial-response></partial-response> {code} This causes an exception in {{jsf.js}} because the partial-response element has no children and no further JavaScript processing happens in the view until the page is reloaded. In the non-transient view case, I see a {{change}} element updating only the ViewState is returned, instead. Other features seem to work pretty well in stateless mode, by the way. Thanks
