            Description

            Because of http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-2041 we need to disable partial state saving in web.xml.

            However, this leads to a problem in a complex situation including composite components, ice:dataTable, h:selectBooleanCheckbox and f:ajax

              Attached example application demonstrating the bug.

              A composite component containing an ice.dataTable with a selectBooleanCheckbox (see my.xhtml)

              By clicking the check box, the model (MyBean) is not updated.
              The inputText does work as expected.

              • If we use an h:dataTable the behavior is as expected.
              • If partial state saving is enabled the behaviour is as expected.

              We actually don't want to disable partial state saving but we are forced to do so by http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-2041. If that bug was fixed in Mojarra this bug here would actually not be an issue for us.

              We may be able to provide f:ajax functionality but without the state-saving problems. Does the test case include pages that illustrate the desired f:ajax use?

              Yes, the test case illustrates the desired f:ajax use. It's in resources\table\my.xhtml.

              In the example, if a checkbox is clicked it's immediately deselected if using ice:dataTable.

              This should be tested with ace:ajax (Mark suggested this, so he may be a good candidate). If that fails similarly, we will want to provide a replacement for:

              <h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#

              {item.isSelected}">
              <f:ajax execute="@this" render="@all"/>
              </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>

              This mimics singleSubmit, so it may be sufficient to replace h:selectBooleanCheckbox with an ice: or ace: component.

              The following approach could be investigated:

              A new component <ice:ajax> acting as a wrapper:

              <ice:ajax execute="@this" render="@all">
              <h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{item.isSelected}

              ">
              </ice:ajax>

              prior to rendering children would set onclick and onchange values explicitly given knowledge of what is appropriate for each component. This would result in very similar markup to f:ajax. The drawback is that knowledge of "ajax" for each component would be contained in ice:ajax. This lacks object orientation, but would be functional and maintainable given that the current JSF components are standardized.

              Have you found the cause why this works with <h:dataTable> but not with <ice:dataTable>?

              As there seems to be no progress on this issue we created a patched Mojarra 2 version with the patch from http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-1845. This allows us to use Partial State Saving again and we don't stumble on this bug anymore
