Guy Bashan commented on MYFACES-1019: ------------------------------------- This issue is not a bug, it is Improvement. I hope you read it ... The first part deals with the problem, the second part deals with suggested improvement. > JSF initial state > ----------------- > > Key: MYFACES-1019 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1019 > Project: MyFaces > Type: Improvement > Components: Implementation > Versions: 1.1.1 > Environment: Linux, WindowXP, JDeveloper > Reporter: Guy Bashan > > I am having this problem for a long time and lost any hope of getting a > decent answer in any forum: > It seems like JSF does not give any solution to initial state problem. > A simple example: > I want to show a simple table that is being updated according to several > filters. > The table should be shown with initial data according to filters selections. > The actions that I am doing are: > 1) To show initially the table, on the backing bean constructor I am loading > the table data. > 2) On any "valueChange" of every filter I want to load the new data of the > table also, so I load the data again. > This causes the data of the table to be loaded twice: once in the constructor > and second in the value change listener method. > This problem happens in many variations many times in JSF. Is there a way of > initializing data properly ? > For example, I would expect that in addition to the constructor there will be > 2 additional methods: > 1) init() - Will be called when screen first loads. > 2) reinit() - Will be called when screen is reloaded. > Am I missing here something ? Or there is a solid agreed way of solving the > initial state term in JSF. > By the way, I have to initialize data dynamically and not using managed > properties. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
