Null is not equal to a validation failure. It means that the view doesn't need to be recreated from the navigation rules, just reuse the old one.
No idea what you're detecting for validation failure, but you could always set a create a FacesMessage from your action if you needed to do so. I can't think of what else you'd be using to detect validation failures. On 3/30/07, Michał 'Gandalf' Stawicki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I thought that if I return null from button's action method, this would be equal to validation faild, and would prevent the popup from opening. Unfortunately, it doesn't work this way. Is the only way to achieve this behavior to use the rendered attribute od popup? regards, michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://stawicki.jasliska.pl GG: 3691111 JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
