Leonardo Uribe commented on MYFACES-4176:
-----------------------------------------
Checked h:outputLabel, use SearchExpressionHint.IGNORE_NO_RESULT is correct in
this case.
Still the solution of the initial bug report worries me, maybe it is a case not
covered but we need to check if the spec language matches.
> Search expression fails to resolve component outside of form
> ------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MYFACES-4176
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4176
> Project: MyFaces Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0-beta
> Reporter: Jay Sartoris
> Assignee: Thomas Andraschko
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.3.0
>
> Attachments: JSF23AjaxTest.war

> There seems to be a bug in the
> org.apache.myfaces.component.search.SearchExpressionHandlerImpl class when a
> client id is specified in the render attribute that is outside of the form
> that the f:ajax component resides.
> For example:
> {noformat}
> <h:body>
> <h:form id="form1">
> <h:commandButton id="testButton1" value="GetResult"
> action="#{testBean.test()}">
> <f:ajax listener="#{testBean.ajaxListener}" render="testOutput1"/>
> </h:commandButton>
> </h:form>
> <br/>
> <h:outputText id="testOutput1" value="#{testBean.result}"/>
> </h:body>
> {noformat}
> You can see that the commandButton and ajax components are within the form
> but the render attribute specified is outside of it.
> When the Ajax code is generated for the button, you can see that render
> section is pointing to the commandButton id instead of the specified
> 'testOutput1' id that is actually specified in the f:ajax render attribute.
> {panel:title=JSF 2.3}
> onclick="jsf.util.chain(this,
> event,'jsf.ajax.request(this,event,{*render:\'form1:testButton1
> \'*,\'javax.faces.behavior.event\':\'action\'})'); return false;"
> {panel}
> When this same scenario is tested on JSF 2.2, the render section is
> correct...pointing to the testOutput1 id.
> {panel:title=JSF 2.2}
> onclick="jsf.util.chain(document.getElementById('form1:testButton1'),
> event,'jsf.ajax.request(\'form1:testButton1\',event,{*render:\'testOutput1
> \'*,\'javax.faces.behavior.event\':\'action\'})'); return false;"
> {panel}
> This scenario also works on Mojarra JSF 2.3.
> I debugged the issue and it seems
> org.apache.myfaces.component.search.SearchExpressionHandlerImpl.invokeOnComponent
> method, the "expression" variable has the correct value that we want to
> render ("testOutput1") but it is unable to find this component because it
> only searches within the form. My thought is that the code should try to
> iterate through the parent.getParent to try to find the id it's looking for.
> The code looks as though it's doing that (around line 163). However, in this
> scenario the code path never drops in to that block of code. What ends up
> happening is the client id of the commandButton is returned. Therefore, the
> testOutput1 component is not updated when the button is clicked.
> I've attached a testcase to easily reproduce the scenario. This could
> potentially be a high impact issue since partial request aren't updating
> components outside of their immediate parent.
