HTML Target Tags in JSF...

2,364 Recognized Expert Top Contributor

Hey Gang!

I thought I had a good idea but then I realized JSF doesn't play that...

I am trying to mimick what HTML can do in JSF when using target tags to related to inner HTML pages. In orther to get to a links going smoothly in JSF, on would do:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
<%@ page contentType="text/html" %>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
 
<f:view>

<html>

     <head><title>jsf h:commandLink example</title></head>
 
     <body>

          <h:form>

                 <h:commandLink value="Click here for Homepage"       

                              action="HomePage" />

          </h:form>

     </body>

</html>

</f:view>

This works great with the body of your JSF enabled JSP page. But in the case you need to use marginal links to fire such pages, as in frames from HTML pages, one would do:

Index.html

[code=HTML]

<html>
<head>

<title>Just Music </title>

</head>


<frameset rows=" 90,*">
<frame noresize="nores ize" src="rhlg.html" scrolling="no">

<frameset cols=" 200,*">
<frame noresize="nores ize" src="link.html" scrolling="scro lling">

<frame noresize="nores ize" src="default.ht ml" name="colours" marginheight="0 " marginwidth="10 ">
</frameset>
</frameset>
</html>

link.HTML

The link page in turn would have something like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
<body bgcolor="#CCCCCC" onload="RotateIt()">
 
....
 
<table  align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" rules="cols" width="70" height="20" bgcolor="gray">

    <tr bgcolor="red">

        <td bgcolor="#D3D3D3" colspan="2"><br>

<center><font size="-1">    

<a href="default.html" target="colours">Dököll Home</a><br>

<a href="sched103.html" target="colours">Schedule</a>    

<br>

<a href="MediaPlaylist.html" target="colours">Media Playlist</a>    

<br>

<a href="Usolutes.html" target="colours">Company info</a>

<br>

<a href="UAccessor.html" target="colours">Dj Accessories</a>

<br>

<a href="Upinskeys.html" target="colours">Pins & Keys</a>    

<br>

<a href="UPhanthomDjListBox.html" target="colours">Goods/Services</a>

<br>

<a href="UEmail.html" target="colours">Send Email</a></center>
 
</font>    </p><center>

....

The default page would be the HomePage...

On e links are accessed through link.HTML, the inner HTML frame would display HomePage.HTML.

Th problem is getting JSF to mimick this effortlessly, what I get is an additional window when you using:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<f:view>

<html>

     <head><title>jsf h:commandLink example</title></head>
 
     <body>

          <h:form>

                 <h:commandLink value="Click here for Homepage"       

                              action="HomePage" />

          </h:form>

     </body>

</html>

</f:view>

I cannot find a translation to from target="colours " in HTML to JSF.

Any input you have is appreciated.

Happy Sunday!

we need a header, I did not add any text yet, just generated code. But the link above does not seem to work, I will also post the errors much after:

again, it's nothing fancy, just generated code, then retrieve_page.j sp as the body of the new page, which in the case is a log in page:

All work well except the link part, the first bit of code {"action="retri eve_success} seems simple but I just can't quite put my finger on it:

I must caution, a JSF tutorial is so needed before diving in to web apps, looking at my problem above, one would not know how to go through it an get it to work. Especially with my poor explaination of the problem.
