Hey, two things. a) is this the right place to ask questions on Struts-Faces, or where ?
It's the right place for dev type questions ... the Struts User list for user type questions :-). if so b)
the demos of struts faces show a "portal" which uses links (done w/ JSF-components) to navigate to a tiles pages, which finally contains a <s:form> based formular. that is the key... ActionForm/Action on the java side and JSF comp.s on the page side. Every thing works. A form-submit sends a req. to the action So far so good... When I am converting one of my own apps w/ struts-faces I'd like to stay with <html:link> for linking to form pages (that are using <s:form>). But ...
In other words, you want to use the Struts <html:link> tag in a form surrounded by the JSF <s:form> component? That's very likely not going to work reliably. You should stick to one technology or the other for all of your view tier tags on any particular page -- either the Struts HTML tags or the appropriate JSF component tags. You are only scratching the surface of a lot of problems that will show up trying to mix them. Craig since that is a GET request the form renders html like
<form name="fooForm" action="/blub/tilesMasterLayout.do" ...> (only when using GET / html:link) so ... a submit causes a 404. Not wondering :) When I use firebug to change the action attr value to /blub/tilesMasterLayout.faces every thing works. Action is called. The action() method in FormRenderer returns in the wrong szenario a .do URL I think it is not to bad to check agains a struts pattern in that URL and replace that .do (if needed) with the jsf pattern (like .faces or add /faces/) I think this is valid, because the form renders already fine, which ensures you are inside the FacesContext ... If you all agree, I'd like to provide the patch for that.
