I'm using MyFaces within JBoss Portal 2.0 RC1. I wonder if the portlet bridge (i.e. MyFacesGenericPortlet) is handling render requests (doView, doHelp, doEdit) correctly.
Assume that we have a portal with two portlets on the same page. When a action request comes in for one of them the whole JSF lifecycle is executed for this portlet. The other is activated by a render request (doView). The current implementation of the bridge skips all lifecycle stages up to the render response phase. This means that the component tree is not restored. As a consequence all components are recreated from scratch. This is inefficient and in my opinion wrong. I think at least the Restore View phase should be executed for every incoming request. Why not executing all phases? -- 5 GB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS http://www.gmx.net/de/go/promail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse f�r Mail, Message, More +++
