Mike Millson commented on RF-2180:
----------------------------------

I'm guessing that your faces config includes the following (I see it's included in the RF-1271 instructions) :

<state-manager>
	org.jboss.portletbridge.application.PortalStateManager
</state-manager>

It looks to me like the issue is you cannot use regular components in combination with PortalStateManager, as this seems to cause navigation not to work. 

So a possible work around would be to use all ajax aware components (e.g. a4j), or comment out the above state-manager from faces config and use all regular components.

> Hallo,
> I had converted my demo application for richfaces and porlet running for JBoss Portal 2.6.3 with RichFaces 3.1.3.GA according these intructions (http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-1271 end of the page) and directly hit some problems that I consider as bugs.
> First my application that is running with 3.1.3.GA using h:form and h:commandButton (in the forms that I don't need Ajax functionality) without problem, after the conversion to 3.1.4.GA with above configuration it stoped working.
> First problem, if I don't convert h:commanButton to a a4j:commandButton I am getting view expired exception all the time form JSF lifecycle.
> After this conversion, view expired exception dissappears but new javascript exception appears, complaining A4J object can't be found in Internet Explorer, including a4j:form solve this problem also.
> So at this point the question that I will ask, to use the Porlet and RichFaces, we have to stick to the a4j:form and a4j:commandButton, which I found weird because my previous version of application run perfectly with tags h:form and h:commandButton and actually I like to have the option to stick with standars JSF lifecycle when I don't need Ajax functionality....
