JSF Lifecycle

Hi All,

I am using JSF, but it seems problem with the lifecycle, only backing beans getters are getting called not the setters. I mam skipping validation phase using immediate="true" in command button.

I am adding data into the table using add() method. this method is getting called but the fields are null.

<t:commandButton styleClass="ice_form_button" value="#{fiboproperty.settlementadd_add_label}" action="#{settlementadd.add}" id="settlementaddaddvisibleaction" immediate="true" />

Can any body tell me what could be the possible reasons for it.
If need more clarification just mention.

Thanks in Advance

Regard,
Tushar

It might be worth reading the http://balusc.xs4all.nl/srv/dev-jep-djl.html to get some insight in the JSF lifecycle. If you want to use immediate="true" in the UICommand component, then only the UIInput fields which also uses immediate="true" will be set to the backing bean.

Hi Bauke,

This is really good stuff you have given thanks.

Hi Bauke,

I have implemented LifeCycleListener and each Phase is getting called multiple times and nesting of same phase is there. I am unable to explore the reason for it What is the significane of it.

Following is the logger for the same

This is unusual behaviour. I can't find an explanation.

But did setting immediate="true" in the appropriate UIInput elements solve the problem?

Hi Bauke,

Thanks for your reply, Yes i am using immediate="true" in the appropriate UIInput elements.

It is also calling myConverter an myValidator for that UIInput but it is not updating the model values.

I am using FacesContex to read the value but i think this is not the proper way.

Any Suggession.
