JSF Bookmarkable URL to update ui:decorate value - jsf-2

Need help here. I'm trying to make my current project bookmarkable. My current design can basically be summed up in this code snippet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core">
<f:metadata>
<f:viewParam name="contentUrl" value="#{navigationBean.contentUrl}"/>
</f:metadata>
<h:body>
<ui:composition template="/views/template/template.xhtml">
<ui:define name="leftpane">
<ui:include src="/views/admin/menu_administrator.xhtml"/>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="rightpane">
<p:growl showDetail="true" sticky="false" />
<ui:decorate template="/views/admin/content/#{navigationBean.contentUrl}.xhtml"/>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
</h:body>
</html>
So I have this template to make the site 30/70 look having the "leftpane" contain the menu and the "rightpane" to display the output content. What I want is to be able to change the output in the "rightpane" depending on the URL sent:
www.mysite.com/projectitle/views/admin/Administrator.xhtml?faces-redirect=true&contentUrl=cont_admin_rapptmnttype
Whatever will be constructed in this url: /views/admin/content/#{navigationBean.contentUrl}.xhtml on the "rightpane" also has a corresponding backing bean to generate the needed output
I'm using Primefaces3.5, MyFaces2.0, WAS8.5
Hope someone could help me out on this. Thanks.
UPDATE:
I am using a p:menuitem to set the contentUrl like
<p:menuitem value="Appointment Type" id="cont_admin_rapptmnttype"
ajax="false" outcome="#{navigationBean.currentMode}" >
<f:param name="contentUrl" value="cont_admin_rapptmnttype"/>
</p:menuitem>
But when I click on the menuitem I get a Stackoverflow exception which, as it turns, is caused by:
<ui:decorate template="/views/admin/content/#{navigationBean.contentUrl}.xhtml"/>
Which is the one I'm trying to update.
Here is the recurring exception in the stacktrace:

Using additional components as a parameter to `<ui:include>` [duplicate]

I have 2 basic templates - one with a side menu, and one without - that both ui:include a common page which contains ui:insert tags (templates are largish, so basic example below).
Using Mojarra everything worked ok, but now I have migrated to MyFaces the ui:insert tags are ignored and the content of the related ui:define does not get rendered (i.e. 'Here are my results' is not displayed).
Should I be specifying included-page.xhtml as a template somehow? I tried
<ui:composition template="included-page.xhtml" />
instead of
<ui:include src="included-page.xhtml" />
but lost the CSS.
Hoping someone can suggest a solution :)
Many thanks,
Neil
my-page.xhtml
<ui:composition xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
template="/templates/default-template.xhtml">
<ui:param name="title" value="My Title" />
<ui:define name="results">
Here are my results
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
default-template.xhtml

xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<ui:insert name="results">
</ui:insert>
</ui:composition>
The <ui:include> should have been an <ui:decorate>.
<ui:decorate template="included-page.xhtml" />
But if the included-page.xhtml is by itself not reused elsewhere, I wonder why it isn't just been inlined in the master template instead.

PrimeFaces: commandButton's validateClient attribute's behaviour

In the following simple faces page, I am trying to instruct JSF to NOT to validate the input fields.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:body>
<h:form id="createPatientForm_id">
<p:panelGrid columns="3">
<p:outputLabel value="First Name" />
<p:inputText id="firstNameInput_id" label="First Name" required="true" requiredMessage="First Name is required"/>
<p:message for="firstNameInput_id"/>
</p:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton value="Submit" ajax="false" validateClient="false" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
When I click on the 'Submit' button, validation does occur. Screen shot below:
I know I have configured required="true". But, shouldn't the validation be skipped as I have also specified validateClient="false"?
What am I missing here?
You need to use immediate="true", perhaps in addition to the Primefaces specific validateClient. Odds are you have disabled client side validation, but not the server side.

PrimeFaces tags not recognised

I am new to JSF and Primefaces and have created a project with JSF2.0, Glassfish v3.0 and Jdk 6.0.Now want to use Primefaces tags instead of JSF tags.
I have downloaded primefaces-3.5.jar and added it into WEB-INF/lib folder and it well recognized into my *.xhtml pages.
But when I try to run the application it does not recognizes the PrimeFaces tags.
for Example:
if I insert:
<p:inputText id="username" validator="#{regBean.username}" required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter Username"/>
instead of:
<h:inputText id="username" value="#{regBean.username}" required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter Username!"/>
it does not show the input box in the Web Application.
Do I need to include any configuration details in web.xml file?
please suggest!!
Try something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<p:editor></p:editor>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
Also make sure you have primefaces.jar in your path.

Action nested inside ui:repeat recreates viewscoped bean instead of navigating away

I have a h:form with two p:commandButtons. One button is nested inside of ui:repeat inside a component. The button outside of the ui:include seems to navigate properly to the target destination returned by the action method. However the identical button nested inside of ui:include and ui:repeat appears to reinitialize the view scoped bean instead of navigating to the action destination. Does anyone have an explanation and a solution or workaround?
The code is roughly this. mybean is view scoped.
<h:form id="myform">
<p:commandButton value="DoIt" action="#{mybean.doit()}" ajax="true"/> <!-- this works! -->
<ui:include src="/sections/util/mycomp.xhtml">
<ui:param name="backingbean" value="#{mybean}"/>
</ui:include>
</h:form>
Here is the component.
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
...
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<ui:repeat value="#{backingbean.mylit}" var="item" varStatus="status">
<p:commandButton value="DoIt" action="#{backinbean.doit()}" ajax="true"/> <!-- this doesn't -->
</ui:repeat>
</ui:composition>
Strangely if I reposition the nested p:commandButton inside the ui:component but outside of the ui:repeat, then it works.
Any ideas?
Hi I copied your codes and tried to reproduce the problem but it seems that mine is working OK. By the way, if you want to use that button for navigation probably you should set ajax to false. Below are my codes:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head></h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form id="myform">
<p:commandButton value="DoIt" action="#{backingBean.goToAnotherPage()}" ajax="true"/> <!-- this works! -->
<ui:include src="firstpage.xhtml">
<ui:param name="bb" value="#{backingBean}"/>
</ui:include>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
And here the second page firstpage.xhtml:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<ui:repeat value="#{bb.myList}" var="item" varStatus="status">
<p:commandButton value="DoItInRepeat" action="#{bb.goToAnotherPage()}" ajax="true"/> <!-- this doesn't -->
</ui:repeat>
<ui:debug hotkey="x" />
</ui:composition>
And finally the backing bean:
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class BackingBean {
private List<String> myList = new ArrayList<String>();
#PostConstruct
public void init(){
myList.add("1");
myList.add("2");
myList.add("3");
}
public String goToAnotherPage(){
return "destpage.xhtml";
}
//Getters and Setters
}

InputText doesnt work in dialog with modal=true (Primefaces)

I have this issue, i think is a bug, i have a composite component with a simple inputtext, then i try to use my composite component in a modal dialog, at first look all it's ok, you can type inside the inputtext, but when the inputtext lost the focus and try to type again you cant, even you can't erase what you typed before.
In the issue tracker, there are a similiar problem reported:
LINK!!!!!
But this is with autocomplete not with input (maybe can be the same), but is marked as fixed, and i tried with PrimeFaces 3.3.1 and 3.4-SNAPSHOT but the problem persist.
Im using 3.4-SNAPSHOT
Here is a "reproducible test cases", i add an other input to my composite component for lost the focus more easily from first input.
Composite component:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<body>
<cc:implementation>
<p:commandButton value="Open dialog composite component" onclick="dialog.show()"/>
<p:dialog widgetVar="dialog">
<p:inputText/>
<p:inputText value="Click here for lost focus of the first input"/>
</p:dialog>
</cc:implementation>
</body>
</ui:composition>

<p:dialog widgetVar="firstDialog" modal="true">
<mycomp:test />
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</f:view>
</html>
I tried to replace p:inputText with h:inputText and the problem persist.
Im using:
MyFaces 2.1.8, Primefaces 3.4-SNAPSHOT
