Hi
I'm experiencing the same problem, and would also be interested in knowing
if there are any solutions which don't involve bringing in another
framework.
If there isn't a solution, it would be great if someone could explain to me
the reason why this happens.
I think/guess it has something to do with the view state being build after
render response, and by calling responseComplete that phase isn't invoked.
Is that accurate?
Cheers,
Mike

Hi all.
In my JSF application I have a link (t:commandLink) on click of which I
want to send an attachment to the user. The usual way in struts was
snippet:
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"mae.csv\
"");
response.setContentType("text/csv");
response.getOutputStream().write(file.getBytes()); // file is some object
which return bytes
response.getOutputStream().flush();
response.getOutputStream().close();
When I do this in JSF, I also do in the end:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();
Works fine - But after I have the file, I try to do something else
(Another action), I get the error:
*View state couldn't be restored, reload?*
I guess it is because JSF loses the view (for some reason I don't know).
What is the right way to send an attachment to user with *PURE JSF*solution.
I read in some places about using shale, servlets, etc.. But I want a pure
JSF solution. Help, anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
