Hi all:
I thought I was finally getting the hang of Shale/JSF/tiles/.... till now,
when it seems like something which *ought* to work, isn't. I have a
"commandLink" in my jsp page and clicking on it does not go to the the
showSurvey method of my backing bean "worklist" - instead I return to an
empty page. Nothing in the logs either...(:(
Here's my code:
in jsp:
<h:dataTable id="items" value="#{worklist.assignments}" var="assignment">
<h:column>
<h:form>
<h:commandLink id="showSurvey" action
="#{worklist.showSurvey}">
<h:outputText value="#{assignment.name}"
/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:form>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
The page above displays nicely with the correct number of items and
correct names. (and the src seems to have the correct gobbledegook too,
though I defintely cannot swear to that..;))
My problem is that when i click on the links above, my app does not seem
to do anything. In fact it doesn't even go to my break point in the
showSurvey method of my bean. (I have got another link elswhere with
action="#{worklist.getWorkList}" which works great - which populates the
above worklist.assignments, btw..)
Here's part of my faces-config.xml:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>worklist</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>
com.intellicare.shaleNShark.action.workflow.WorkListManagerBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
...
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>survey</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/survey.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
And finally, in my backing bean, WorkListManagerBean (which extends
AbstractViewController), I have a method:
public String showSurvey(){
....
return "survey";
}
Can anybody spot something off? Since other links are working, I really
think something should be glaringly wrong - but i just can't see it..(:(
Many thanks in advance!
Geeta
