The EE Composite Showcase sample can be build by:

1. Checkout http://server.ice:8888/svn/repo/icefaces-ee3/trunk
2. in the icefaces-ee dir, type "ant build.projects -Dmyfaces="true" "
3. the resulting samples/dist/ee-composite-showcase.war can be deployed to tomcat to see the issue on IE7 or IE8.

ICEfaces 3 Trunk:
28324 3/14/12 3:30 PM 1 philip.breau ICE-7899

ICEfaces 3 Maintenance:

28323 3/14/12 3:16 PM 1 philip.breau add a semicolon before autocenter js

To clarify, the checkins for 28324 and 28323 were for an issue with the autocenter js and popups, and nothing to do with errors on IE.

I used a version of the compat component before the fix for ICE-7781 was applied and I can still reproduce the issue.

After debugging the code I pretty certain that the issue is in MyFaces JS code. The handling of the requests taken out of the queue is failing when currently extracted request is cleared prematurely:

enqueue : function(request) {

if (this._curReq == null)

else {
this._callSuper("enqueue", request);
if (request._queueSize != this._size)

}

},

Carmen says:

The issue still exists in IE7 only (RunTime error when clicking on the left-side links).
The IE8 JS error has been resolved.

The previously mentioned Myfaces code is not quite the real problem, the issue was deeper in the call stack (within this._curReq.send() invocation). Myfaces is trying to broadcast the "BEGIN" submit event to all the registered callbacks, to do that Myfaces bridge is using Array.prototype.forEach method. Since IE8 does not implement that method the described error is thrown. There is Myfaces code that will define a non-native Array.prototype.forEach function but the code is loaded conditionally. Unfortunately the condition is not fulfilled in IE8.

The attached fix modifies the condition for loading the code defining the non-native Array.prototype.forEach function.

Committed a re-built version of MyFaces 2.1.6 that includes this patch to both the branch and the trunk.

Here's the issue opened in Myfaces' bug tracking system: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3509

Changed to public.
