Hi Jeff,
testing again the current version bevor taliking about bugs is a great
idea ;)
The problem for beginners like me is, that on the myFaces website is
described, that the fastest way to get a project up and running is to
take one of the example-apps (in my case the tiles-app) and take this
structure to start the own project. The problem is, that the sample
apps dont use the latest version 1.1.5 of myFaces but version 1.1.1.
If the sample apps would use the latest versions, the sample-apps
would be a big help for beginners to construct a new app.
Actually, mon ami, they do. :)
You must be grabbing the wrong examples file. Try going to link [2] and
grabbing the file "tomahawk-examples-1.1.5-SNAPSHOT-bin". You are
probably thinking "but that's tomahawk, not myfaces?" Well they are the
same example apps as what you've downloaded, just newer. You can read a
more detailed explanation from [3]. The confusion is not your fault: we
need to release a new Tomahawk which includes the examples directly on
the download page. We also then need to update that getting started page
so it points to these tomahawk examples, instead of confusing you into
thinking you need the old 1.1.1 examples. I have just now added a
comment to issue [3] to that effect.
One more question: As I'm using tiles, is it good practice to enclose
the <h:form/> - tag within the template, surrounding all the
placeholders and subviews. In this way, I wouldn't have to use a
second <form/> for all pages?
Sorry, I don't use Tiles but if it's anything like the other mechanisms
I have used, then yes you can do this.
With my new, version 1.1.5-based application I found out, that the
<t:panelNavigation2/>-tag dosn't render a dummyForm if enclosed in a
<h:form/>-tag but the navigation just works, if there is one "regular"
link on the site (for example a <h:commandLink/>). If there is no
link, the navigation dosn't trigger the lifecycle on the server. Is
this a known problem?
Hmm this sounds familiar, as if someone else mentioned this on another
thread earlier. However, a quick search of JIRA and the mail archives
didn't turn up anything relevant... Any chance you could provide a
small, contained example of this problem? Then we could start a JIRA for
it to get fixed.
Thank you in advance,
Rudi
