local phaseListener not invoked by p:commandButton

[Martin Ahrer]

I have a view with a local phase listener that is not invoked after a submit is performed with p:commandButton. What is the procedure to get that to work with primefaces ?

In general it looks like the RenderResponsePhase is not invoking the execute method since shouldSkip detects that it should not execute. This is because the org.primefaces.application.PrimeFacesPhaseListener is setting responseComplete=true.

I have compared that with the JSF2 built-in AJAX features where this works, the phase listener is invoked.

Code: Select all

	<f:phaseListener binding="#{debugPhaseListener}" />
	<p:outputPanel id="panel" />
	<h:form id="form">
		<h:commandButton value="Full" />

		<p:commandButton value="Partial Prime" update=":panel" />
		<h:commandButton value="Partial JSF" id="button3">
			<f:ajax render=":panel" />
		</h:commandButton>
	</h:form>

Summarizing, global phase listeners (defined in faces-context.xml) are executed always but local phase listeners are not.

I'm using JSF 2.0.2 + primefaces 2.0.1

Hi Martin,

Yes, PFPhaseListener set responseComplete to true not to invoke the actual renderresponse phase.

I'm not sure why local phaselistener is not executed though. I need to check the source of lifecycle executor in jsf implementation. Are you using mojarra 2.0.2?

Yes it's the JSF RI 2.0.2 I'm using. I'd like to give you a pointer: Phase.class (RenderResponsePhase instance), line 100 (method doPhase) is detecting the responseComplete state. Pure RI Ajax is invoking the following phase.execute(context) whereas a prime faces request is ended here!

Code: Select all

        try {
            handleBeforePhase(context, listeners, event);
            if (!shouldSkip(context)) {
                execute(context);
            }
        } catch (Throwable e) {

With Pure RI then FaceletViewHandlingStrategy is invoking the phase listeners in its renderView() method. With prime faces that never gets invoked due to the responseComplete state.

Ok now I see, I think I will leave it as it is for now since it'll be resolved eventually when we migrate to jsf 2 ajax for PPR.
