RE: A dynamic component and the JSF lifecycle

Correct me if I’m wrong, but facelets is supposed to specifically fix that problem, isn’t it?   Jeremy Sager Data Communications Product Manager Chesapeake System Solutions 410.356.6805 x120 [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Alexander Panzhin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 3:29 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: A dynamic component and the JSF lifecycle   Sorry to break it to you, but JSTL Core tags do not work well with JSF. Usually they're "late". In the sense that you have to refresh to get a correct view. That's because they're rendered at different times. Thanks in advance for any help guys J   I am using an ADF showOneTab component that has a varying number of tabs. I iterate across a list inside the xhtml document with a facelets tag.   In theory, a user may be able to click on various command items such as links and buttons that would cause an item to be added to my list and a navigate-back-to-self situation, which means that the new tabs should show up.   The problem is, it doesn’t work like that, and I think I know why…   My list isn’t going to get updated until the Invoke Application phase, by which point the component hierarchy is already built.   That’s the problem… I think. What I actually see is really spotty behavior, where sometimes things appear and other times they don’t, and I can’t tell why. Regardless of the behavior, if I just hit the refresh button, the page always loads exactly the way it should.   Here are my tags:   <af:showOneTab position="above"> <c:forEach var = "editorinput" items="#{editorPanelBean.tabs}" > <af:showDetailItem text="#{editorinput.label}" id="#{editorinput.id}"> <ui:include src="#{editorinput.page}"> <ui:param name="editorinput" value="#{editorinput}"/> </ui:include> </af:showDetailItem> </c:forEach> </af:showOneTab>       Does anyone have any advice on how I should proceed here?     I was thinking that the answer may be to write a custom phase listener and figure out how to process my action early, which I’m more than happy to do if it’s the correct solution. I just don’t want to go barking up the wrong tree, or down a dead end alley, or whatever analogy you prefer if there’s a “duh” solution to this problem out there.   And remember I’m running that c:forEach in the facelets world, not the JSP world.   Jeremy Sager Data Communications Product Manager Chesapeake System Solutions 410.356.6805 x120 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --    Su pagarba,       Aleksandr Panzin       IT sistemu architektas.      With best regards,       Alexander Panzhin       IT systems architect
