hi pieter, based on the archetype i created a demo [1]. i just added a view-access-scoped bean and accessed it on the second page. in the @PostConstruct callback a message gets added which you can see on the page. the @PreDestroy callback writes the message to the console because the bean gets destroyed >after< the rendering process (if it wasn't accessed by the new page) - so you won't see a message on the page (if you would add one like in the @PostConstruct callback).
you can start the demo e.g. with: mvn clean jetty:run-exploded -PjettyConfig regards, gerhard [1] http://people.apache.org/~gpetracek/myfaces/codi/demos/view-access-scope-demo.zip http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces 2011/6/24 Pieter Martin <pieter.mar...@gmail.com> > Hi, > > I have tested as you mentioned but the @PreDestroy still does not get > called. > > I am using the jsf application as generated with the maven archetype. > > I am however running it in embedded jetty mode, i.e. view a main method. > I have a META-INF/beans.xml in the src/main/resources dir. > > page1 = helloWorld.xhtml which references the WindowScoped > HelloWorldController > page2 = testViewAccessScoped.xhtml which references a ViewAccessScoped bean > - PostConstruct called > page1 = helloWorld.xhtml, ViewAccessScoped - PreDestroy not called, as > expected > page1, again = helloWorld.xhtml, ViewAccessScoped - PreDestroy not called, > expected it to be called > page3 = helloWorld2.xhtml which references the WindowScoped > HelloWorldController - PreDestroy not called, expected it to be called > page4 = testViewAccessScoped2.xhtml which references a different > ViewAccessScoped bean - PostConstruct called, PreDestroy not called > page2 = testViewAccessScoped.xhtml which references a ViewAccessScoped bean > - PostConstruct called and PreDestroy called on page4's ViewAccessScoped > bean > > > I can only get PreDestroy called if I navigate from a ViewAccessScoped > directly to another ViewAccessScoped page. > > Using @ViewScoped I can not get PreDestroyed to be called at all. > Using @ViewScoped if I F5 on the page @PostConstruct is called everytime > and @PreDestroy never > > Thanks > Pieter > > > > On 23/06/2011 23:11, Gerhard Petracek wrote: > >> hi pieter, >> >> first of all welcome @ myfaces! >> as long as the bean is referenced by a page - the bean will be available >> for >> the next page. after rendering the first page which doesn't use the >> view-access scoped bean it will be destroyed (that's independent of other >> beans). >> >> regards, >> gerhard >> >> http://www.irian.at >> >> Your JSF powerhouse - >> JSF Consulting, Development and >> Courses in English and German >> >> Professional Support for Apache MyFaces >> >> >> 2011/6/23 Pieter Martin<pieter.mar...@gmail.com**> >> >> Hi, >>> >>> I trying to use @ViewAccessScoped beans but am not getting the expected >>> behavior. >>> >>> I notice that @PreDestroy only gets called when I navigate from a page >>> using a particular ViewAccessScoped bean to another page using a >>> different ViewAccessScoped bean. >>> >>> I expected @PreDestroy to be called whenever I navigate to a different >>> view. i.e. if a navigate from a page with a ViewAccessScoped bean to a >>> page with a ApplicationScoped or WindowScoped backing bean @PreDestroy >>> does not get called. >>> >>> Is this a bug? >>> >>> I am using CODI version 0.9.5 and MYFACES 2.1.1 >>> >>> Thanks >>> Pieter >>> >>> >>> >
