JSF (MyFaces) implementation notes.Horrible experience: code like this does not rise any exceptions or warnings: 1:<f:facet name="body"> 2: <f:verbatim> 3: Companies Page 4: </f:verbatim> 5: <h:form id="companiesListFormID" name="companiesListForm"> 6: <h:inputText value="#{companiesListForm.searchCriteria}"/> 7: <h:commandButton action="#{companiesListForm.search}" value="Search"/> 8: 9: </h:form> 10:</f:facet> 11:but the resulting HTML ommits FORM and places verbatim content after input elements ( which are not enclosed in a form) To make it working everything within facet should be enclosed into h:panelGroup 1: <f:facet name="body"> 2: <h:panelGroup id="body"> 3: <f:verbatim> 4: Companies Page 5: </f:verbatim> 6: <h:form id="companiesListFormID" name="companiesListForm"> 7: <h:inputText value="#{companiesListForm.searchCriteria}"/> 8: <h:commandButton action="#{companiesListForm.search}" value="Search"/> 9: 10: </h:form> 11: </h:panelGroup> 12:</f:facet>Same story with x:table - the component did not work till it was enclosed into h:panelGroup Accessing other beans in the JSF context: lets try to access a managed bean that is declared like this: 1: <managed-bean> 2: <managed-bean-name>companiesListForm</managed-bean-name> 3: <managed-bean-class>com.sourcelabs.demo.webapp.web.jsf.CompaniesListForm</managed-bean-class> 4: <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope> 5: </managed-bean> 6:in order to do that in the action method we have to have something like this: 1: FacesContext cxt = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); 2: ValueBinding vb = cxt.getApplication().createValueBinding( "#{companiesListForm}"); 3: CompaniesListForm v = (CompaniesListForm) vb.getValue( cxt ) ; Why the hell!?, accessing other managed beans is a very common thing, why there is no application method like getManagedBean("name")?!
