popup in Spring Webflow 2.0.2

[DeepEdward]

Hi,

I have been trying to make use of the pop-up given by the JavaScript framework supported by Spring webflow (see 4.12 in , http://static.springframework.org/sp...l#el-variables)


Here, the instead of a pop-up, I get the page in the same window.

I need to call a pop-up window, and on submitting the pop-up window form, navigate to a separate page, keepin the commandObject i session.

Please give a pointer.

If you want to use the popup feature without jsf/facelets you need to specify it in the jsp in the javascript element (popup : 'true'). That is also shown in the booking sample without JSF.

Hi Marten,

Is there anything that i missed out, for the pop-up to display, as I have no clue where I went wrong here!
I saw the booking-mvc app and made appropriate changes, still no luck..

I have the following configuration;

JSP:
In the JSP, I have a submit button which for which I have the javascript:

<!-- Imported the following in the jsp-->

<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/resources/dojo/dojo.js" />"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/resources/spring/Spring.js" />"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/resources/spring/Spring-Dojo.js" />"> </script>

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="<c:url value="/resources/dijit/themes/tundra/tundra.css" />" />

JSP FIELD:

<input id="popUp" name="_eventId_callPopUp"
	type="submit" class="bigbutt2"
	value="Display PopUp" />
	
     <script type="text/javascript">
      Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.AjaxEventDecoration({	  	                           
      elementId: "popUp",
      event: "onclick",
      popup: true,
      params: {fragments: "popUpPage"}
   }));
</script>

Is the pop-up attribute in the view-state required when giving the javascript in the jsp? when I set that attribute to true, even then the pop-up is not displayed, as the pop-up page is displayed in a separate page(and not a separate window)

Please put in some light to it!

Regards,
Edward

In guess the issue here might be that you are applying it to a submit button. Any special reason for doing so?

[DeepEdward]

I get a form in the pop-up, for which i need to submit the form and proceed to another page(not the first page from where the pop-up originated).

No Marten,

I don't think that the problem is with the submit button.
I tried the the same using hyperlink, but no pop-up, it just navigated to next page in the same window.

I've seen that example but it apears that I need to use tiles to make this work with JSP + JSF + SWF 2.0.3

is that correct?

[Marten Deinum]

is that correct?

No.

For plain JSP you need Tiles to make it work. For JSF you can use either Tiles or Facelets (the jsf templating stuff).

I just want to mention that the popups feature (with JSF/facelets) does not work if you have the following setting:

<webflow:flow-execution-attributes>
<webflow:always-redirect-on-pause value="false"/>
</webflow:flow-execution-attributes>

in flow-executor.

I had forgotten this setting in my configuration and struggled to find it. So I thought it might be helpful to post.
