Going insane on this problem, hopefully it's something simple that I'm just missing.

Ok. I switched to Primefaces 2.0 from the 2.0RC and I'm using Mojarra 2.0.2, Glassfish V3 and Netbeans 6.8

Everything worked fine until the switch.
Now I went through and changed the few items that did change (partialsubmit gone etc).

That worked partly (some things did not update when submitted with ajax).
Re-Read the configuration install and I saw I needed to put in allowTextChildren.

The problem is when I put in allowTextChildren it causes most of the page to fail to render.

I get the following error from glassfish.

And the page in question (well the first half of it at least...it's huge).
It doesn't render anything AFTER the very first form.
Anything enclosed in that form gets rendered but nothing after.
I've tried enclosing the entire first panelGrid in a single form and it renders that.....but stops afterwards.
This has been driving me crazy for 2 days now *sigh*

That issue might be fixed, can you try with a latest nightly build of 2.0.1?

Also why did you switch to an older version of 2.0 branch?

I didn't know I was switching to an older version.....
I had been using 2.0.0RC and I saw the release of 2.0.0 and decided to upgrade to the stable/production release.
I just grabbed the one from the web page....and added to maven.....

Well....that's what I thought I did...unless I'm mistaken....
As for nightly builds(nightly builds in general that is).....I've had some major hassles with those before, so I don't like to mess with them unless I have too.

Anyway, I ended up using the RequestContext to do partialUpdates.
ie-

Code: Select all

        requestContext.addPartialUpdateTarget("st_datatable");
Not optimal to have it there....since some objects could get called more than once unless I'm super careful...
But it worked!!

Sorry I read your post wrong, yes you switched to a newer version. :)

Your JSF page is quite big to understand the problematic part, when does the error happen? Which component triggers the error?

I determined (after reading more and basically brute force of pulling everything out and adding one back at a time) that it was unnamed elements.

Now everything has an ID and it doesn't break for anyone :D
