I want to use JSF/PrimeFaces as the view technology for my Liferay Service Builder project. Service Builder worked fine for me but most JSF Lifecycle phases (2, 3, 4 and 5) get skipped for my Events. A simple submit action on h:commandButton/p:commandButton doesn’t reach the application listener on my backing bean.
Following are relevant log messages from Liferay’s DebugPhaseListener:
19:01:10,087 DEBUG [DebugPhaseListener:64] BEFORE phaseId=[RESTORE_VIEW 1] viewId=[null]
19:01:10,089 DEBUG [DebugPhaseListener:48] AFTER phaseId=[RESTORE_VIEW 1] viewId=[/views/view.xhtml]
19:01:10,090 DEBUG [DebugPhaseListener:64] BEFORE phaseId=[RENDER_RESPONSE 6] viewId=[/views/view.xhtml]
19:01:10,096 DEBUG [DebugPhaseListener:48] AFTER phaseId=[RENDER_RESPONSE 6] viewId=[/views/view.xhtml]
Here is my view and bean code:
<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->
<ui:composition xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:aui="http://liferay.com/faces/aui" xmlns:aui-cc="http://liferay.com/faces/aui-cc" xmlns:liferay-ui="http://liferay.com/faces/ui" xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">

</h:panelgrid>
</h:form>
</ui:composition>
package org.view;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
@ManagedBean(name = "sampleTable")
@RequestScoped
public class SampleTableView {
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SampleTableView.class);
private String string1;
private String string2;
public SampleTableView() {
log.debug("SampleTableView created.");
}
public void submit(ActionEvent event) {
log.debug(org.view.SampleTableView.class.getName()+".action() invoked.");
this.string2 = string1;
}
public String getString1() {
return string1;
}
public void setString1(String string1) {
this.string1 = string1;
}
public String getString2() {
return string2;
}
public void setString2(String string2) {
this.string2 = string2;
}
}
Project directory is also attached.
I used Service Builder
documentation and this PrimeFaces
example to setup my project.
Following are the versions of the tools I use:
Liferay 6.2.1
JSF(com.sun.faces) 2.1.21
PrimeFaces 4.0
If anyone has faced a similar problem and can please help debug? Thanks!
