Netbeans JSF CommandLinkRenderer

Hi,

Management at the company at which I work are insisting I use the JSF visual editor for creating applications. So I have commenced using this tool only to find that Netbeans has it's own custom CommandLinkRenderer. This caused me great issues when I attempted to embed an <f :p aram/> tag inside a commandlink tag.

It all worked fine when I hand coded using the appropriate JSF tags. However, when using the visual editor to create the tags, it malfunctioned throwing javascript errors as follows:

Any thoughts on why this may have occurred?

I think that the clue lies in the "paramname has no properties" part of the message. It would be a lot more helpful if you submit the code generated.

Righto. I have been able to recreate this using NetBeans IDE 6.0 (Build 200711261600). Building a web project with the JSF Visual framework using Sun Application Server 9.1 as the target environment.

The page generated by the visual drag and drop palette is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<jsp:root version="2.1" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
 xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
 xmlns:webuijsf="http://www.sun.com/webui/webuijsf">
 <jsp:Directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"/>
 <f:view>
 <webuijsf:page binding="#{Page1.page1}" id="page1">
 <webuijsf:html binding="#{Page1.html1}" id="html1">
 <webuijsf:head binding="#{Page1.head1}" id="head1">
 <webuijsf:link binding="#{Page1.link1}" id="link1" url="/resources/stylesheet.css"/>
 </webuijsf:head>
 <webuijsf:body binding="#{Page1.body1}" id="body1" style="-rave-layout: grid">
 <webuijsf:form binding="#{Page1.form1}" id="form1">
 <h:outputText binding="#{Page1.outputText1}"
 id="outputText1"
 style="position: absolute; left: 264px; top: 96px"
 value="Here is the page we wish to create"/>
 <h:commandLink binding="#{Page1.linkAction1}"
 id="linkAction1"
 style="position: absolute; left: 192px; top: 168px"
 value="This is my link action">
 <f:param binding="#{Page1.param1}" id="param1" name="MyParamName"/>
 </h:commandLink>
 </webuijsf:form>
 </webuijsf:body>
 </webuijsf:html>
 </webuijsf:page>
 </f:view>
</jsp:root>

The associated generated Java class behind this page is as follows:

And the client side javaskript error when clicking on the link is as follows:

I have only used the GUI builder and haven't altered the generated jsp page at all. So why is this occurring when I nest an f:param tag inside an h:commandLink tag.

Hi Adam,

I was wondering if you have an idea as to what is causing the error I have explained above please?
