Redirect in Controller doesn't work

[jmcollin92]

Hello there,

I'm using the Optimus ViewIdBasedNavigationHandler and I experiences that something like :

Code: Select all

public java.lang.String _action2()
    {
        ...
        return "redirect:page1";
    }

in controller's action don't work. Is it a know issue ?
The documentation talks about redirect directly in views but not about redirect in controller.

Thank's for your answer.

Hi, are you sure the action method is called? Does it navigate but forward?

[jmcollin92]

Yes I'm sure the method is called. There is no redirect and no forward. Nothing happen.
Should that work's ?

Do you have navigation handler defined in faces-config.xml?

[jmcollin92]

Here is the begining of my faces-config.xml. I think it's good.

Code: Select all

<faces-config>
    <application>
		<navigation-handler>org.primefaces.optimus.navigationhandler.ViewIdBasedNavigationHandler</navigation-handler>
		<view-handler>com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler</view-handler>
    </application>

Just to make sure do you have page1.xhtml page? Showcase seems to be working;

It works with "redirect:" directly in facelet but not if it is embedded in a controller return.
ie :

Code: Select all

<p:commandButton ... action="redirect:nextPage"/> is working

but not :

Code: Select all

<p:commandButton ... action="#controllerBean.doIt"/>

ControllerBean.doIt() {
...
return "redirect:nextPage";
}

To my opinion the second form should work as well.

Do you think so ?

If not it is not possible to do redirect like in "standard" JSF with <redirect/> in face-config.xml navigation rules.

[jmcollin92]

OK, I have put breakpoint in the ViewIdBasedNavigationHandler code, and the redirect is well done .
The problem is client side .

To make the redirect work, I have to specify async="false" in the "p:commandButton" and then the redirect is OK. Is it normal ?

But in this case (when I put async="false"), if the validation of the form failed (so we stay on the current page), the display is broken (h:outputLabel not shown, wrong label button, panel without title, ...).
See when normal :
and when broken :

So...
if I do not put async="false", redirection failed and validations is ok,
but if I put it, redirection failed and form validation break the page.

Note : I try to suppress all the Panel but same problems remains (page is broken when validation fails).

A help will be appreciate... No more idea to test.

Can you try this one;

Code: Select all

<p:commandButton async="false" immediate="true" actionListener="#{bean.method}"/>

Can you try this one;

Code: Select all

<p:commandButton async="false" immediate="true" actionListener="#{bean.method}"/>

I've tried but if immediate="true" the form values are not passed to the backing bean (normal ...) and it's not acceptable in my case.

So I've tried only async="false" and actionListerne="#{bean.mthpd}" and the result is exactly the same with action="#{bean.method}".

I think it's a client side problem in PrimeFaces but I don't know where to search for a solution.

Do you need a simple repro case ?
