faceletsicefaces-1.8

An iceFaces - facelets URL bar address is not showing

My company has the Spring-Ifaces 1.8 standard to work with a IBM WAS 6.1 solution. After read the icefaces tutorials, i decide to implement a facelets solution to do a better template management.

In the faces-config.xml i put the next line to config the facelets:

  <view-handler>com.icesoft.faces.facelets.D2DFaceletViewHandler</view-handler>

The web.xml is configured to search the index.jsp as the main page on the context:

<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

The index forward to the first page on my navigation logic.

  <body>
    <jsp:forward page="paso1.iface" /> 
  </body>

But on the browser URL bar address, i still seeing the http://server.com/context path.

When the form data is already written, i submit, run my action and the navigation rule send me to the next page.

But again, on the browser URL bar address, is still in the http://server.com/context path.

<navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>/step1.jspx</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
        <from-action>#{actionBean.action}</from-action>
        <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
        <to-view-id>/step2.jspx</to-view-id>
    </navigation-case>
    <navigation-case>
        <from-action>#{actionBean.action}</from-action>
        <from-outcome>fail</from-outcome>
        <to-view-id>/step1.jspx</to-view-id>
    </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

I can't use redirect, because there is some session data. And even i try using the standard Java EE Facelets tag com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler, but the page can't be rendered.

How can I force or config properly the IceFaces Facelet to show me the webpage than I'm already step on?

Hope somebody had an answer. Regards.

Solution

  • An ugly solution, but work for me. Is about override the Viewandler: http://www.logikdev.com/2010/03/24/how-to-personalise-the-urls-with-faces-navigation/
