Hi All... I'm finding using portlet modes in jsf at the very least
cumbersome... Is this really how it is? Should I just forget about
portlet modes and use jsf navigation rules to compensate?
I'm doing stuff like this: If you hit the edit icon you are taken to
the edit jsp correctly (so far so good) via override to doEdit and
calling nonFacesRequest
However, when I want to switch back to view mode, I'm having to
override processAction where i can switch the mode, however, i can't
see any of the parameters and attributes changed in portlet request
by my bean action listeners... So... i either use a session attribute
or do the switch blindly...
Worse, switching modes doesn't change the VIEW_ID (expected) but i
seem to only be able to change that back in doView now (since i
changed mode back to view) by checking if i was looking at my "edit"
view page... Still is too late to validate if i really wanted to go
there...
Is this really how it is done? Anyone else using portlet modes?
Thanks in advance!
