of any objections ASAP.

We would like to add a new API for Trinidad, as discussed in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-1432
Internal views are viewIds that may be requested by a client and are
handled internal to the web application, without necessarily
dispatching to a resource like a JSP. An internal view handler is
implemented by extending the
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.render.InternalView abstract class.
Certain controllers keep track of the viewId of the currently
displayed view in a window. When a request is received on the server
the controller checks to see if the requested viewId is different
from the last known viewId for that window. If the viewIds are
different then the controller recognizes this situation as a
navigation and releases any state it had for the previous view.
The problem is internal views doesn't always result in display of a
new view in window, i.e. in navigation. Instead, they may just
request some logic be executed or that a new window be opened.
In order to prevent incorrectly triggering the controller's
navigation detection, the controller needs to be able to determine if
the current View Root is an internal view or not. The proposed API is
thus:
RequestContext
{
/**
* Determines whether the current View Root is an internal view
* @param context Faces context
* @return true if the current View Root is an internal view, false
otherwise
*/
public abstract boolean isInternalViewRequest(FacesContext context);
}
Are there objections or other suggestions on how to achieve this, or
is the new API acceptable?
Thanks, Maria
