[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3085) Renderer is only partially functional when used asynchronously

Chris Lowe commented on JBSEAM-3085:
------------------------------------

This issue also appears to affect the sending of Seam templated emails via Flamingo.  There is a workaround detailed here:

http://groups.google.com/group/exadel-flamingo-users/browse_thread/thread/6fdcc617e20b547e

Unfortunately this workaround only applies Flaming calls, I don't think it will work with asynchronous method calls outlined in the OP.

> The Renderer, which is used to render Facelet templates, is partially crippled when used asynchronously. First of all, it throws an exception while setting up the MockFacesContext() because it tries to retrieve an Application from the real JSF FactoryFinder. That isn't going to work because JSF is not properly initialized. That leads to the second problem, which is that if the template has any JSF component tags, they aren't rendered because its not a real JSF environment.
> I think the solution is to use JSFUnit to emulate a JSF environment so that the Renderer can be used asynchronous. Otherwise, we cannot send email messages that use JSF components in the background. The second solution is to document that you cannot render JSF markup in your email if used asynchronously.
> This affects the /examples/mail demo application.
