JSF Action Issue (Wierd Behaviour)

, ,
1

All,

I am facing an issue that an action is not being invoked in the following scenario

  1. I have a portlet (Main Portlet) containing IFrame - source of this IFrame is set to the url of another portlet (Simple Portlet).

Main Portlet - > IFrame (src=Simple Portlet)

  1. IFrame source portlet (Simple Portlet) contains 2 more IFrames with source set to the url of another portlet (Child Portlet).

IFrame (src=Simple Portlet) → 1. IFrame (src=Child Portlet) 2. IFrame(src=Child Portlet)

  1. Simple Portlet also contains a Command Link (“Some Action”), this link is bound to a method called someAction() in activePageBean(Default View Managed Bean) like this #{activePageBean.someAction}

  2. Now when a portlet is opened after all the frames are rendered, i click on link “Some Action”, method bound against this link “someAction” is not being invoked, upon investigation i found this

                . before Restore View method is invoked
            . after Restore View method is invoked
            . before Apply Request method is invoked
            . after Apply Request method is invoked
            . before Process Validation method is invoked
            . after Process Validation method is invoked
            . before Update Model Values method is invoked
            . after Update Model Values method is invoked
            . before Invoke Application method is invoked

             >>>>>> Actual method bound to that link is not invoked <null><null><null><null><null><


            . after Invoke Application method is invoked

It some how loses the events registered against this Invoke Application Phase.

One interesting point here is that if i set the rendered property to “false” of one of the “Child Portlet”, then it starts working perfectly.

I dont know what is the issue behind this, if anyone can help me out.

Thanks in advance
Khurram
