Yes, maybe I've bean a little short... I have defined a method 'onLoad' called at the renderResponse phase by a facesListener and a method 'init' called by another facesListener at the restoreView phase. I don't understand 2 thing:
- why when I re-enter the page all faces phases are invoked also if the call is a request and not a post (also if I set org.apache.myfaces.NUMBER_OF_VIEWS_IN_SESSION to 0 in the web.xml) - why also if the 'init' method I've defined is invoked in the restoreView phase and the model is updated than the view is not updated if a validation is failed before Thanks Moreno 2008/10/16 Simon Kitching <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Moreno Cornaz schrieb: > > Hello >> >> I have a page with some input field whose values when I enter the page are >> taken from a bean (and set in the onLoad of the page). >> If I insert a value that cause the validation of that fields to fail and >> than I quit the page, when I come back to that page >> I found in the fields the values that made the validation failed instead >> of the values from the bean. >> I checked out and when i enter again the page after the validation the >> model (the bean) is correctly set. >> It seems that jsf keep ther view after the validation instead of restore >> the new view when I enter again the page.
