Using Primefaces in ICEfaces Portlet?

[Benjamin Fischer, modificado hace 11 años.]

Hi everyone,

we are currently using ICEfaces3 to build JSF2 Portlets in Liferay 6.1 and want two selectManyListboxes like this one: Primefaces PickList

Is it supported to use Primefaces in addition to ICEfaces with the Liferay Faces Bridge?

Adding primefaces.jar and its pickList in an ICEfaces portlet always leads to the following error:

ERROR [render_portlet_jsp:154] org.w3c.dom.DOMException: HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: An attempt was made to insert a node where it is not permitted.

The ICEfaces DOMResponseWriter is part of a server-side "dom-diff" feature that is unique to ICEfaces. The benefit is that developers don't have to put <f:ajax/> tags throughout their Facelet views in order to determine update zones. The drawback is that other component libraries (like PrimeFaces) may not be compatible with the DOMResponseWriter. This is probably what your encountering with the PrimeFaces p:pickList component tag.

Thx for your answer.
The automatic dom diff update is one of the features we like from ICEfaces. So that means we have to develop something like that p:pickList on our own. Hopefully we are not encountering more components "missing" in the ICEfaces framework...

There is an ice-cc:dualList composite component in ICEfaces EE that might be helpful to your use-case.

Thank you for your hint. Unfortunately we dont have access to ICEfaces EE.
But it looks like the new version get something similar:
ace:list & ace:listControl - single ordered column list, dual column list, or n-column list controls (ICEfaces 3.1.0.BETA1 Release Notes)

Sounds great Please let me know if you have any problems with running ICEfaces 3.1.0-BETA1 in the bridge.
