Given the following tag handler class.
public final class ViewParamValidationFailed extends TagHandler implements ComponentSystemEventListener
{
private final String redirect;
public ViewParamValidationFailed(TagConfig config) {
super(config);
redirect = getRequiredAttribute("redirect").getValue();
}
@Override
public void apply(FaceletContext context, UIComponent parent) throws IOException {
if (parent instanceof UIViewRoot && !context.getFacesContext().isPostback()) {
((UIViewRoot) parent).subscribeToEvent(PostValidateEvent.class, this);
}
}
@Override
public void processEvent(ComponentSystemEvent event) throws AbortProcessingException {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
if (context.isValidationFailed()) {
try {
ExternalContext externalContext = context.getExternalContext();
externalContext.redirect(externalContext.getRequestContextPath() + redirect);
}
catch (IOException e) {
throw new AbortProcessingException(e);
}
}
}
}
The tag handler is just meant to redirect to a page, when conversion fails.
This is used on an XHTML pages as follows.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!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"
xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
xmlns:my="http://example.com/ui"
xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core">
<h:head>
<title>Test</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<f:metadata>
<f:viewParam name="id" required="true" value="#{testManagedBean.id}"/>
<my:viewParamValidationFailed redirect="/public_resources/PageNotFound.jsf"/>
</f:metadata>
<h:form id="form" prependId="true">
<p:commandButton value="Submit" actionListener="#{testManagedBean.submitAction}"/>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
we can have an optional converter attribute with <f:viewParam>
just like converter="javax.faces.Long"
In reality, there is a template in which <f:metadata>
is enclosed within <ui:define name="metaData">
.
The associated JSF managed bean:
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public final class TestManagedBean
{
private Long id; // Getter and setter.
public TestManagedBean() {}
public void submitAction() {
System.out.println("submitAction() called.");
}
}
When the given <p:commandButton>
is pressed, the following exception is thrown.

This tag handler should only be associated with <f:viewParam>
and should be skipped in its entirely, when a post back is made, for example.
Is there any solution?
Crucial :
In the conditional check inside the apply()
method,
if (parent instanceof UIViewRoot && !context.getFacesContext().isPostback()) {
System.out.println("Inside if");
((UIViewRoot) parent).subscribeToEvent(PostValidateEvent.class, this);
}
When the given button is clicked, this condition is evaluated to false as obvious. Hence, there should not be any problem.
Surprisingly, the exception disappears, when the only line inside the if
statement is removed like as follows.
if (parent instanceof UIViewRoot && !context.getFacesContext().isPostback()) {
//Debug statements only.
}
It doesn't throw the exception as mentioned above, when the given <p:commandButton>
is pressed though the condition is evaluated to false, in this case.
Never saw this kind of situation :)
