I have been attempting to build a JSF based portlet with MyFaces and have been having a problem in getting JSF navigation to work with myfaces-1.1.1. I followed the instructions on the Wiki for how to create my own portlet and add edit modes. This works great and I can deploy it into my portal server (liferay).
However, any time I try to induce a navigation action within my JSF pages the view always returns to the default view. I can of course, navigate to my Edit and Help pages. If I use myfaces 1.0.9 then I can successfully use the navigation rules and move through the pages of my app. But of course, I can not have anything other than the View mode active. Is this is a known issue? Or am I missing something? If someone could point me towards an example of a JSF portlet that supports all modes, that would be great. Thanks Todd
