How to reset JSF 286 view

[Syed Imtiaz]

Hi,

My requirement is to reset portlet view to initial/default page when navigated back to portlet page.
At present navigation between portlets is retaining its state of view whatever left by user while navigating to other pages.
Please help how to achieve this. Thank you.

WebSphere Portal 8.0.0.1/ WAS 8.0.0.6

Imtiaz Basha Syed.

Hi,

Sorry forgot to mention that the home page for portlet I am using sessionScope to retain the page data when user comes back from the second facelet of the portlet. May be this leading the portlet not to invoke the managedBean's initialize method again and again.

Please help how to invoke managed bean from portlet's lifecycle methods otherwise. Thank you.

Thanks & Regards,

Do you want to try using cooperative portlets for navigating back to the home page since these are two different portlets so you have the opportunity to send the control over to the action phase (processAction) of the portlet on the home page? You can change the state of the portlet during action phase(I don't think you could do that during render phase doXXXX()).

Hi Syed,

Use preRender event on JSP or XHTML  and in FMB method (resetView() ) reset your values. This will reset your previous values. Let me know what you think.

<hx:scriptCollector id="baaccount_setup_scriptCollector1" preRender="resetView"> 

Thanks,

Somi.

Default behavior of IBM portal maintains state, it is known fact from version 4.x. But you can still change this behavior in configuration I guess.

Dear Ravi/Somi,

I appreciate your quick turnaround. I will try these and confirm if it satisfies the need.
In between I would like to ask if there is any way where I can invoke Face Managed Bean's method such as PostConstruct's initialize() method from doView() ?

Thanks & Regards,

Syed, Sorry...I never tried and I'm not good at Faces. But what I remember was, Faces does not really contain portlet doView but Faces life cycle with 7phases I believe.

Hi,

In themes will be using a tag called <portal-navigation:navigationUrl> for url creation of pages. Add the attribute keepNavigationalState="false" which will remove the state.
