hi.
i have a very strange problem in using outputLink
whatever i give the link, it redirects the page to the same page only.
my code is as folows:
<h:outputLink value="#{myAction.doSomething">
<f:verbatim>
<h:graphicImage id="submit"
url= "submit.gif"
>
</h:graphicImage>
i have specified the "myAction" in the managed Bean section of faces-config.
can any one tell me what is the problem?
now i tried to replace the outputLink with a commandLink as follows
<h:commandLink value="click" action="#{myAction.doSomeThing}"></h:commandLink>
but could not find any diferences
:(
shoud i use actionListener instead of action?
can anybody help me out?
again....
i've switched to outputLink
now my code looks like this
<h:outputLink target="#{myAction.doSomething">
<f:verbatim>
<h:graphicImage id="submit"
url= "submit.gif"
>
</h:graphicImage>
</outputLink>
but still the same output!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont know whats wrong with this?
Output links don't invoke actions, so you need to use a CommandLink.
As to why it's going to the same page...
The action="..." on a command link refers to either a
method on a bean that returns a String value and
accepts no arguments, or it can just be a string
literal value.
This value maps to the from-action element within the
navigation-rules you define in your faces-config.xml.
So:
1. What does myAction.doSomeThing return?
2. Do you have a navigation rule configured?
hi frnz sorry for posting it twice..
plz ignore my previous thread http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5175743
as you guys suggested i turned my outputLink to the command link again.
here is my codes
myPage.jsp
==========
<h:commandLink value="Click" action="#{myAction.doSomething}" />
myAction
=========
public class MyAction{
public String doSomething()
{
String output = "myString"
return output;
}
}
faces-Config
==============
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>myAction</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>
com.MyAction
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/myPage.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>myString</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/success.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
now can anybody help me?
here is my faces servlet mapping
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
but now i noticed 1 thing that the controll does not go to the MyAction class also..
is not it strange?
well i removed everything from my page
now my page looks like this
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk" prefix="t"%>
<f:view>
<body>
<h:form>
<t:inputText value="#{myAction.name}" id="abc" />
<h:commandButton action="#{myAction.doSomething}" image="/images/btn_update_info.gif" />
<h:message for="abc" />
</h:form>
</body>
</f:view>
</html>
still it doesnot work..
now i'm banging my head against the wall
:(
now i made a slight change in the code
<h:form rendered=false>
<t:inputText value="#{myAction.name}" id="abc" />
<t:commandButton action="#{myAction.doSomething}" image="/images/btn_update_info.gif" />
<h:message for="abc" />
</h:form>
but the same issue
Ah well, you're mixing Sun JSF RI with MyFaces Tomahawk. First try to remove that Tomahawk taglib and replace t:inputText by h:inputText. Or remove the Sun JSF RI and replace all h: by t:.
Which JAR's do you have in your WEB-INF/lib currently?
Can you also show the signature of the getter and setter behind #{myAction.name} ?
