PortletExternalContextImpl.encodeNamespace called during portlet ActionRequest
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MYFACES-1359
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1359
     Project: MyFaces Core
        Type: Bug

  Components: Portlet_Support  
    Versions: 1.1.5-SNAPSHOT    
 Environment: Facelets + Liferay 4.0.0
    Reporter: John Singleton


Theis portlet fragment renders one of 2 components depending on the selection 
in the selectOneMenu: 

<div xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core";
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html";>        
    <h:form>
        <h:outputLabel for="list">foo</h:outputLabel>
        <h:selectOneMenu value="${booleanTest.choice}" id="list"><f:selectItems 
value="#{booleanTest.selectList}"/></h:selectOneMenu>
        <h:commandButton action="#{booleanTest.doIt}"/>
    </h:form>
    <h:outputText rendered="#{empty booleanTest.list}" value="Empty"/>
    <h:dataTable rendered="#{! empty booleanTest.list}" 
value="#{booleanTest.list}" var="l" border="1">
        <h:column>
            <f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Column"/></f:facet>
            <h:outputText value="#{l}"/>
        </h:column>
    </h:dataTable>
</div>

It's using this simple bean:

public class BooleanTest {
    private List<String> list =  new ArrayList<String>();
    private List<String> emptyList = new ArrayList<String>();
    private String choice = "Foo";
    private List<SelectItem> selectList = null;
    
    public List<String> getList() {
        if (choice.equals("Foo")) {
            return emptyList;
        } else {
            if (list.isEmpty()) {
                list = new ArrayList<String>();
                list.add("Hello");
                list.add("World");
                list.add("!!!!!");
            }
            return list;
        }
    }
    
    public String doIt() {
        return "success";
    }

    public List<SelectItem> getSelectList() {
        if (selectList == null) {
            selectList = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
            selectList.add(new SelectItem("Foo", "Foo"));
            selectList.add(new SelectItem("bar", "bar"));
        }
        return selectList;
    }

    public String getChoice() {
        return choice;
    }

    public void setChoice(String choice) {
        this.choice = choice;
    }
}

When I first add this portlet to a page, I get the drop down list, the submit 
button and the "empty" message. If I select the 'bar' entry in the list and 
click submit I get the error, " Can not call encodeNamespace() during a portlet 
ActionRequest"

It seems to be because MyFacesGenericPortlet.processAction calls 
lifecycle.execute, which in turn starts createing components for the table 
(which wasn't in the first call to the page). This calls encodeNamespace for 
the new componenet IDs and thats when it falls over.

I fixed this by changing PortletExternalContextImpl.encodeNamespace to return 
null instead of throwing an IllegalStateException. My application seems to be 
working well with this solution, but I don't know if it might have any knock on 
effects?
