Hi,
During my testing with Ajaxanywhere, I have tried to make a central zone of my page completely "ajaxed". However, I haven't been able to succeed totally, due to the fact that the URL does never change while using "ajaxed" requests.
Basically I enter to a SearchPage.jsf, and then I want to navigate to a particular item in the search list, i.e. to a MaintenancePage.jsf. If I don't use Ajax, then using the "redirect-after-post" pattern makes the URL to change every time I navigate to one page from another different one. For example, if I'm at the
SearchPage.jsf, and navigate to the MaintenancePage.jsf, now my URL shows precisely the http://...../MaintenancePage.jsf
However, if I use Ajaxanywhere, and start from SearchPage.jsf, then when I navigate to the MaintenancePage.jsf
, the URL obviously does not get updated, and this causes strange behaviour in my application or simply does not work the way it should. I've tried to combine both Ajaxanywhere with redirect, i.e. use Ajax whenever actions occur in the same page (
e.g. search by different criteria, ordering columns, scrolling between results, etc), but always make a redirect whenever I navigate to another different page. And this works fine, but it's not the complete "ajaxed" solution.
So I think I'm missing something. Can anyone explain me why there is this dependence between actions in the page and the current URL in the browser? Can I do something to inform JSF about the page change, but continue to use Ajax in any case? I hope I have explained my problem clearly, so everyone can understand what is happening and give me some workarounds ;-)
