            Yes
          • Workaround Description:
            Using the browser file menu or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P works fine.

            Description

            A commandLink has the following onclick event set: onclick="window.print();return false;"

            This should bring up the various print dialogs in browsers. This is working in Firefox and IE browsers but not Chrome/Safari when there is an active push connection. If there is no push connection, then the window.print call works fine.

            In testing I also saw that the dialog would come up once the browser is being closed or refreshed.

              Attached test case and war file. The icefaces-ee-ace.jar needs to be added in to run the war.

              Steps:

              • Load welcomeICEfaces.jsf
              • click on the 'click to pring' link that is after the Test button.
              • In chrome, nothing happens, in other browsers the print dialog is shown.

              It seems that Chrome will not print the page until there are XHR requests pending. So the onclick callback will need to temporarily pause the blocking connection until the print will execute.

              ... onclick="ice.push.connection.pauseConnection();
window.print();ice.push.connection.resumeConnection();
;return false;" ...
