Hello, I saw this in myfaces wiki.. If the action method is of a form that returns a navigation string, then:
Any non-null string will cause the lifecycle to proceed directly to the render-response phase, meaning that validation of any non-immediate input components never occurs. This is why an immediate command component is a natural way to implement "cancel" operations; it works even when there are input fields in the page that would fail validation. Of course as a result, there is never any update-model phase, ie data entered by the user is discarded. A null return value causes processing to continue as normal, ie non-immediate components are validated then update-model is executed (if no validation errors occurred). Is this behavior specific to myfaces or is required by the jsf spec (so that all implementations should have this behavior) ? Thanks a lot. P.S: I am new to jsf so kindly excuse errors :) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/String-outcome-will-cause-lifecycle-phase-skip---Myfaces-specific---tp14525536p14525536.html Sent from the MyFaces - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
