seems to be the same failure for netbeans vwp as well.

The bug lies in BridgeExternalContext.getRequestMap.

Inside, com.sun.faces.application.ApplicationAssoicate -->

scopeIsRequest ()
context.getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put(managedBeanName, bean);

The main problem here is the that servletRequest value not set.

Sun's RI has the following RequestMap inner class in ExternalContextImpl

map.put(key, value)

More summary:

The LifecycleListener where implements ServletRequestAttributeListener is
expecting to get called when a value is set on the RequestMap
(called because it's a listener to any changes to the RequestMap) but the
listener never gets called because ICEfaces does not really set
the value on the Request, only in a HashMap stored
with the BridgeExternalContext. We need to catch the
requestMap.put() calls and pass them on to the real
request so that the listener gets called.

I will look into adding a ServletRequestMap wrapper to address this bug.

Prototype with ServletRequestMap is functional, but does not have correct values upon page reload;
continuing investigation.

Change checked in to 1.5 branch and head.

Committed revision 12761.

Frank has tested an intermediate .jar. Reassigning to Frank to test 1.5 branch with Creator.

Not related issues now.

I did a few rounds of test with revision 12761 .

It works fine with Creator 2 old application framework implementation.
Also works with first page shown up in netbeans 5.5 vwp.

But, it is complicated further more with netbeans 5.5 vwp where if you put
paging (any options, with Sun's paging or our dataPaginator). The connection is
lost and cachedRowSet is null. It is a separated issue. So I will creating a
new one to trace that.

I mark this one as Fixed since it seems no problem with requestMap.

tested with following:

netbeans VWP --> database connection (Java DB derby client JDBC driver) -->
database binding --> paging and sort header components.

So far, it looks fine. Mark as verified

The sort header seems not working with All Object type. Except Issue. Needs to
create a new one.
