Hi, I'm a software architect and we have a major project coming where I thought our dev team should try new things. So I decided to replace Struts (default option :P) with JSF and Shale. I thought that it would be good when I personally know the limits of JSF and Shale first before I put them into our proposal. For this I've written a small app where the user has to input his personal data in wizard style (dialog) but somehow I cannot go further than the first page >:( No errors or exceptions or something but the first dialog screen keeps opened again and again. I tried to understand what goes on in the Shale's usecases example app (the login and profile creation is also a dialog) and mostly copy/pasted the dialog-config.xml, the jsps and backing beans (I couldn't get the usecases login part to run btw) but with no luck :'( Then I thought my "lone wolf" time is up and I should go and ask someone smarter ;)
Good plan :-). One issue that often bites newbies to JSF (whether or not you use Shale) is that the existence of any validation errors on a submitted page will cause the input page to be redisplayed -- but if you have no way to see the error messages, you don't know why that happened. Try putting an <h:messages> component in your page (set to display all messages for all input fields) and see if that helps. Craig
