Hi Simon, I was trying Andrew's "on-load" phase listener and it seems to be working fine.
Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 2:30 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: Postback Where are you calling getRenderKit from? You don't show it anywhere in this piece of code. It might not work when called from a bean constructor, because that is being implicitly called when processing the component bindings. Component bindings are initialized very early in a request cycle, and I would guess that at that time no renderKit has yet been selected to handle this request. The renderKit might be the html renderkit, the xhtml renderkit, the pdf render kit, etc. And that is specified (in JSF1.2) as a property of the UIViewRoot - which only exists *after* the restore-view process has completed. But bindings are processed during restore-view. Solution: don't call it from a backing bean constructor. A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
