problem with popup view

[bizerte]

Hi all,

I want to display a view in a popup dialogue without using javascript, so I create my cview as following :

<view-state id="confirmation" view="popupView" model="popupForm" popup="true">
<transition on="confirm" to="anotherState"/>
<transition on="cancel" to="currentStae" />
</view-state>

I create a jsp file that I declared in the tiles def files with the id "popView"

The problem is that when I call this state, my jsp "popupView " is displayed in the same window but not in a popup dialogue. Is there any thing missing ? since I havnt find any complete example.

any help will be appreciated,
bizertin.

This is the intended behavior. You cannot display something in a popup without using JavaScript, so if you have JavaScript turned off, it gracefully degrades to using full page refreshes.

Thank you for the reply, but I don't inderstand exactly what you mean by "so if you have JavaScript turned off, it gracefully degrades to using full page refreshes". Should I enable JavaScript on the browser level or by anther way. Is ther any simple but complete example ?

Thanks,
bizerte

I am having the same problem with my popup opening in the same window but not in a popup dialogue. I have javascript enabled in my Firefox version 2.0.0.12. I am attempting to do this in a subflow

<view-state id="viewPopup" popup="true">
  <transition....>
  <transition....>
</view-state>

Solution for JSF, Trinidad, and Facelets:
I found the pieces for my solution in another thread http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=65710, specifically,
1) Invoke the popup with: <sf:commandLink /> and not a JSF or trinidad commandLink (this also required <h:form> around the <sf:commandLink />)
2) For any view-state that is rendered as a popup, you MUST DECLARE AN ON-ENTRY SECTION that displays the fragment you want shown (see sample code), therefore, I also needed to add <ui:fragment id="popupFragment"> around my popup page components.

<view-state id="viewPopup" popup="true" >
    <on-entry>
	<render fragments="popupFragment" />
     </on-entry>
    <transition on="cancel" to="popupCancel" />
 </view-state>

Hi!

Has anybody try to display a pop-up when the application throws an exception?

<transition on-exception="CustomException" to="customView" />

In my case I am redirected to the customView, but in the browser not in a pop-up.
I tested it with sf : commandLink and it works
