Okay, well, I certainly understand that you are dealing with a complex application. I'm not sure I see that the dialog window wouldn't work for you - I think it would be a good solution, but its difficult to work through all the details here in the forum. Infragistics has consultants who deal with these sorts of things all the time - that might be a better way to get to the solution you looking for.

Best,
Jim

Thanks Jim for reply.

See all the pages(more than 100 , opening by tree node click) that i am opening through window.open shoud must have separate separate manage-bean. All could not be inside a single page. From those page i can create a record save it, then after close the bean instance also i have to make null. And i can open multiple pages at a time.And those pages sometimes can be modal and sometimes will be non modal.

And lots of script running behind each page ..for onload, onkeydown, winclose.So depending upon the requirement i can't use WebDialog...

Gantait:

It sounds like you should use NetAdvantage's WebDialog instead of window.open. Based on what I've read here, this ought to solve your issues. There are several examples of working with the dialog over at componentsforjsf.com. Culd you take a little time to review them and see if they'll help?

One of the nice things about the webdialog is that it really exists as a DIV inside you're main page: from JSF's perspective its part of the same page, but from the user's perspective it's a "separate" popup. This gets you the look you want, but keeps the page structure in a format that standard JSF is comfortable with.

 hope I'm being clear...if the sames don't make sense, post back here, and we'll continue working on this.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

            Thanks for reply. I have seen If I navigate the page through faces-config navigation rule, and put a h:commadButton or ig:link with out mentioning amy smartRefreshId then same code working prefectly.

But thing is that in that case full page submit is happening.

Now I am describing my senario as per project requirement.

• I am opening pages by js window.open  from a main page, not using faces-config navigation rule
• The page beans are in session scope
• Now in a such page , i have a ig:gridView.i need a button say ig:link , by clicking it i want to do data export, but i can't refresh the whole page, so have to do ajax based request.

This is my requirement. Can you please help me on this ? currently if i want to do like that , those exception i am getting as i have mentioned.

with warm regards,

gantait

The ClassCastException you are getting is often caused by version mis-matches. However it may be caused by stuff inside a4f - I can't tell from what you've posted.

NetAdvantage is completely compatible with JSF base components. Between the h, f and ig libraries, we don't generally find that JSF developers need anything else. If you'd like to discuss your application's needs I'd be happy to do that with you!

Thanks,
Jim
