[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-4495) Page actions do not work with JSF 2.0

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4495?page=com.atlassian.jira.pl... ] Dan Allen commented on JBSEAM-4495: ----------------------------------- Research on this issue has led me to conclude that this is a pitfall introduced by implicit navigation in JSF 2. The original idea behind implicit navigation was to interpret a return value in the syntax of a view ID as an intent to navigate to that view. But the enhancement was taken a step further to automatically derive a view ID from the return value if the outcome did not match a navigation case. Thus, a return value of false is converted to the string "false" and then into the view ID /false.xhtml. My first thought was to check for a real navigation case and only navigate if one is found when handing page actions. Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish between an implicit navigation case and a real navigation case. I have filed the following spec issue: https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=736 In the interim, what we have to do is make sure that page actions only return values if we intend to navigate. Otherwise, we have to wrap or otherwise hide the return value from the navigation handler. I'm not sure what the page action is trying to accomplish in this case, but perhaps a more appropriate page action would be #{identity.quietLogin}. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
